One major factor that plagues amateur golfers is a lack of fluency in their swing.

When your stroke is inconsistent, it’s difficult to build momentum and follow up one good shot with another.

Out on the course, it’s inevitable that our shots won’t always be flushed and may stray to the left or the right.

However, consistency in motion will help to minimise streaky strokes, and this will show on your scorecard.

With rhythm and practice comes reliability and results. This driving range drill, which requires just a towel, could transform your game.

So now you have seen how easy the towel drill is, where will your game benefit from putting it into practice?

Firstly, this drill will promote greater club face control, with you finding that sweet spot with far more frequency. Consistently finding the optimum contact point in your swing will reduce errant strokes.

The towel drill will ensure you make a conscious effort to maintain control and fluidity, eliminating those times we swing too hard – we’re all guilty of this!

And if you don’t want to take our word for it, we should mention that this drill is regularly put into practice by quadruple major winner Rory Mcllroy.

“It helps keep the left arm connected to the chest on his backswing,” explained McIlroy’s coach, Michael Bannon, adding, “This also helps the chest rotate, if the chest stops and the left arm separates, the towel will fall out.”

If it works for one of the world’s most fluid golf swings, it’s almost guaranteed to pay dividends to the average golfer, so get your towel out and give it a try!
