Confidence is a great thing Del'
But you normally need some underlying technical competence to achieve it!

Very true Del.
probably why confidence is such a fragile thing in golf. Even for the Professionals!
One thing this drill has made me appreciate is that at some point in the follow through, your left elbow has to start tucking into your side. I think that a lot of my problems were caused by trying to keep my left arm too straight for too long. I haven't hit any shanks (touch wood) or snap hooks since practising this drill and my chipping has improved markedly!

Are you using this drill for full swings?
No, don't need to. Three-quarter swings with a nine-iron or wedge are enough to give you the correct feeling.
I have been consistently playing better since practising this drill. I have almost completely eliminated the fat shot and the shank from my game, which have always been my bugbears. My occasional slightly bad shot is now off the toe, which is far less damaging to my scores than the dreaded shank off the other end of the clubface! My short game is also more reliable. . :thup:
