Fix Your Tempo with the One-Handed Drill

Your Action Plan

What: Your goal is to use a one-handed drill to improve your rhythm, tempo, and balance for a more controlled golf swing.

Why: Swinging with one hand forces you to let the club lead the way, eliminating muscling the ball and helping you find a natural, smooth rhythm.

How:

Practice with One Hand: Start with your lead hand and make half to three-quarter swings back and forth, focusing on a “smooth, controlled” feeling.

Let the Club Lead: Feel the weight of the clubhead and let it dictate your pace and tempo.

Repeat with Your Other Hand: Switch to your trail hand and repeat the same motion, focusing on the same feeling of control.

Combine and Commit: After hitting several balls with each hand, switch to a two-handed grip and apply the same smooth, controlled feeling to a full swing.
