Aim 30 your body 30 degrees left, and try to hit the ball low and off to the right. Most players will end up hitting a flop shot, with the face open, so I recommend putting an object on the ground to force you to miss it.

This drill is the Trevino drill and this is to help you overcome your cast or upper body
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,000
dominant swing pattern. So the Trevino drill, if you remember, Leach Trevino was a great
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
ball striker who set up very open to the target but was still able to hit all different kinds
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
of shots. So what we're going to do here is you're going to get set up so that your body
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:29,000
is aimed about 40 degrees left of the target. Now from this position you're going to try to swing
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,000
so that the club hits the golf ball down your target line. If you have the cast or upper body
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
swing pattern then what you'll end up doing is you'll end up casting as you normally do where
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
your arm starts the downswing and the club will swing very much to the left and the only way you'll
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,000
get it to start down the target line is if you keep the club face very open and hit more of a
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
flop shot style shot. What I want you to try to do is you're going to have to exaggerate
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
those arms staying very close to you as you come into the downswing and the shoulders staying
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
very close or square compared to where your lower body is. This gives you a great sensation for the
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,000
feel golfer as to where your pelvis and your upper body should be at impact. Then what you can do
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,000
is set up normal and you'll try to get your hips as open as they were in the Trevino drill while
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:34,000
keeping your shoulders closed and that combination should give you a good feel as to the orientation
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
of your shoulders, your rib cage and your pelvis as to where they should be if you were to hit the
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,000
ball coming from the inside. So give that a try for overcoming your cast or upper body swing pattern
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
it should help with the the feeling that we're trying to get to swing the club from the inside
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
and delay the upper body spinning.
