Whoosh Drill
For this drill we are going to turn the club upside down and grip the club just below the clubhead, with only the target hand. Set up in your address position and swing the club. During the swing motion, listen for a ‘whoosh’ sound going through the impact zone. A loud whoosh is a result of greater clubhead speed. The primary goal of the drill is to gradually increase the volume of the whoosh with each swing. As a secondary goal, get the ‘whoosh’ sound to occur the loudest as the club passes your target leg. Having the loudest part of the whoosh sound after impact ensures that the golfer’s swing is accelerating through the impact zone. Clubhead speed should not be created by hitting at the golf ball or using brute force. The ultimate goal of the drill is to create clubhead speed from swinging the club.
