Since golf courses and long-range sessions aren’t an option right now, it’s important to find ways to keep your game sharp from home. Sometimes, hitting into a net can actually be positive – you can work on things in your swing without worrying about the direction or the outcome of the shot. Here to walk you through a few at-home drills is Mizuno Golf Ambassador, Hannah Gregg.
This speed drill is a great way to find the tempo that you want to swing with.
- Start out by swinging at 70%-80% of your usual swing capacity.
- Then move into your normal swing, feeling the differences in tempo and speed from the last.
- Finally, start the third set of swings where you swing as hard as you can, with as much speed as possible.
After doing this drill a few times, you’ll notice several things. There may be a tempo that you prefer to swing with, whether slower or faster than your normal swing. Take note of that! You may also notice that your “level 3 swing” or your fastest swing is getting faster. This is great because having an extra gear that you can tap into is essential if you want to hit bombs.
