Swing Improvement

Harvey Penick’s Magic Move — a pressure shift and trail-elbow drop at the start of the downswing — is the simplest way to fix sequence, shallow the shaft and create lag. Here’s how to feel it, drill it, and use it on the course.

Forward shaft lean is the difference between weak iron shots and tour-quality compression. Here is what it is, what kills it, and 5 drills to train it.

Ben Hogan’s pane of glass image is one of the most effective swing-plane drills ever written. Here is how to set it up, run it, and avoid the four mistakes that turn the visualization into a new fault.

The towel under arms drill is one of the simplest, most effective drills for fixing slices, thin strikes, and chicken-wing releases. Here is how to use it correctly.
