cnosil 25,292 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 We have seen people using the divot board. For those that don’t have one, Here is a new drill for you to try out. I tried and it is tough. Had coins flying all over the placE even when I did it right https://golf.com/instruction/at-home-golf-drill-iron-shots-chunks-tops/ 6 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 5-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54-10S 588 58-12 Putter: Auditions ongoing Backups: TM-180, Milled Collection RSX 2, Bellum Winmore 787, mFGP2, Directed Force 2.1 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfriday101 1,151 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Towel drill, coins, clipping tees. Great exercises for low point control. The thing he doesn't mention is you can start with the coins farther apart and move them closer as you get better. The video is where I'd like to end up, but too frustrating to start there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungkory 11,112 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Seems more like a drill to help you learn how to use the bounce of your wedge? This has to be crazy hard even for good golfers, using anything more than a wedge. 3 Quote Driver: Rogue ST Max LS Tensei AV Blue S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: JPX 919 Forged Nippon Modus 3 Tour 105 S Wedges: RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 50, 54, 58 Modus 3 115 Wedge Putter: L.A.B.

Willie T 34 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I have done something similar using dimes, practice mat and lob wedge. The premise there was to catch the dime clean. It was about engaging the bounce, but it also encouraged consistent knowledge of the low point of the swing. 2 Quote WITB? 10.5deg SLDR (R flex), 3HL/17 SLDR Series (R flex), 5/19 SLDR Series (R flex), 4h/22 SLDR Series (R flex), DIablo graphite shaft irons (5 (R flex), 6-PW (A flex)), CBX 50, 54,& 58 wedges - graphite, White Iron 5 putter.

scottbox 5 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 As others posted, this is good for learning how to use the bounce with a wedge. For short-medium-long irons, a better option is to place the ball right in front of your lead foot and make solid contact. You'll learn to move your pressure properly, move your low point forward of the ball, extend down the target line a touch longer. Hit 3-4 of those and go back to your regular ball position and you won't believe how good your contact will be. 3 1 Quote WITB: Taylor Made SIM Max 10.5, Speeder 569 Evo-V S Ping G425 15.5*, Speeder 569 Evo-V S Ping G425 18*, Evenflow Blue 65 6.0 Ping G425 22* 4-hybrid, KBS Graphite Tour Prototype 80, S Mizuno 921 SEL, Nippon 750 Wraptech S Vokey SM8 50/54/60, Nippon 950GH S Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5.5, 32" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cksurfdude 10,909 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Yeah that coin drill is Pro Level s***! I happen to have a set of "Flat Balls" which are rubber discs, say 1/4" thick - I put one down maybe 2 or 3" in front of a ball (sitting on a mat, in front of a net) and try to "sweep" the Flat Ball into the net. You can tell when you've made good contact with both. Has really helped me with my irons! 3 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ... ..Callaway Big Bertha B21 driver (Recoil ES 450/F3) ..Callaway Bertha Mini 1.5 (UST ProForce V2-HL 5/F3) ..Callaway Epic Max 5W (PX Cypher 50/5.0) ..Callaway Big Bertha 4H and 5H (both Recoil ZT9/F3) ..PXG 0211 6i-GW (Mitsubishi MMT 60/A) ..Cleveland CBX2 54 and CBX 60 (Rotex graphite) ..EvnRoll ER5 or MLA XDream (Edel EAS 4.0 on the bench) ..all in a Datrek bag on an MGI Zip Navigator electric cart.
