    Just can’t emphasize enough how this would help 85-90% of all the amateurs I’ve ever seen or worked with. There are other versions that accomplish the same thing — right-foot-left-toe (with right foot drawn back), feet close together and angled almost completely away from target (back-to-target, but not quite completely), et al. — but they all encourage the same fix for what ails the vast majority of amateurs and even quite a few pros who have started to get steep and outside.

    Love the low to high drill. I use it for my high school golf team at Madison West in Madison WI. Many thanks.

    This is a great drill to get everything loaded. I saw this in my Golf drills book. I use it to cure my over the top swing (slice). I actually pull the right foot back 3-4 feet and I feel like I can rip into it as hard as I can. I can get around 118mph with my 3 wood with this drill.
