Any drills that work for you?

I’m working on keeping in posture so a don’t move toward the ball on downswing.
I’m setting up to the toe side.

I will put a tee a ball outside of my ball and try not to hit it.

Also thought about literally trying to hit it on the toe.

I’m open to suggestions.

Luckily, my new Cobra LTDx really does have a BIG sweet spot so even mishits are better, but I want to center it up more.

Ben Hogan said ,"You can't get to close to the ball"

Or visualize the ball quartered and try to hit the inside bottom right quarter of the ball.

A sharpie helps when practicing.

Try setting the ball even closer to you. Line up with it on the heel. Then practice on the range taking smooth swings and coming from the inside out. It seem counter intuitive but it works. Your brain with keep your arms in to hit the ball. It used to line up with the ball further out to make sure I didn’t catch the heel, but what I was doing subconsciously was actually extending my arms even further, which actually made me catch the heel more.

Put head cover 3 inches on the far side of the ball from your stance side.

Yea instead of placing the ball further away to compensate, stand even closer to it and really focus on keeping your hands inside. This works well with the shanks too.

If I strike on heel it’s because my trail arm disconnected.

Do the towel under the pits drill to see if your arms are drifting away from your body.
