The X
Help train your shot shape
If you're trying to train a draw or a fade, or maybe are struggling with an unwanted shot shape, use the X to serve as a visual guide for your club path.
To hit a draw, feel like the club is moving away from you, following the line. To hit a fade, try the opposite and see the club trace the line that comes in towards your lead toe.
Practice tracing the line a few times very slowly, feel the motions as you see your club on the line. Start with a few 50% speed shots, and slowly work your way up to full speed.
An advanced version of this drill includes adding your takeaway line, and a perpendicular line at impact to check your club face alignment. As always, start slow and build speed as you get used to your visual cues.
