I’ve been working with the axe drill, and I have to say it’s been transformational. For the first time, I’m hitting the ball solid and crisp, with a feel I’ve never experienced before. The arm-club unit feels stable and well-locked, and the top of the backswing is steeper and more connected, though it feels like a three-quarter swing—which I really like.
However, when I transition to my regular golf swing, I struggle to replicate that same top position. My swing gets flatter at the top, and the hinge becomes excessive. I’ve always had trouble with the takeaway and tend to cock the wrists early, which throws off the path.
Do you have any drills or video recommendations that could help me progressively transition from the axe drill into a full, flowing swing—while keeping that same feel and structure from the axe drill?
Thanks so much again—this one drill has already shifted how I understand and feel the golf swing.
Hi Shawn!
Doing this drill again and realized my grip, especially on lead hand, is actually firmly attached! Just like you said in all those great grip videos. FINALLY I can feel what you mean!!!!
This axe drill plane feels more up and out from my body compared to my hit-the-ball plane.
I’ve known my grip is suspect since the day I watched your grip videos but I could not for the life of me figure it out…… Old “swing” dying a slow death.
Love it! And thank you for keeping us in the loop with your AH HA moments; they are so important! Love the “slow death” analogy! 😝😀
