Ever find yourself in a small hole next to the green? Reach for a iron to chip with?? Trying to ‘lift’ the ball, or ‘pop’ it? Well, how about trying this little drill. Grab your putter, align correctly, and squeeze the ball onto the green.

This little beauty can be used with the putter or one of your wedges. I can’t wait to hit the greens and try this one out! Thanks Shawn.
There are a lot of competing idea’s on how to align and strike the ball. A drill recently released from Golf Digest talks about a ’stack and tilt’ drill. However, I see some faults in this drill, and began looking for counter arguments. I came upon a great drill from Shawn Clement, describing and showing some drills on to work on balance and alignment.

A question was posed to Shawn Clement about how to keep the head steady during the swing. The reasons for keeping the axis of the head steady, allowing the head to turn, is demonstrated in this excellent video.

Another excellent video, and I miss seeing your head in this video!
