Feet together: I like to do this when I’m not striking it good. I put my feet very close together and just swing. Helps me not sway off the ball.

What are some other simple drills that you go back to when things go sideways or drills that just groove your greatness?

Put a tee on the outside/backside of the ball, that way I HAVE to come from the inside. I just hit lunch shots to start and groove into a full swing

Punch shots, but I like lunch shots too.

Sometimes I swing freely with my back foot more to the rear. I feel like it helps me deliver the club from inside.

I only practice at home so my retriever can get his exercise in fetching the balls....I use the rubber Almost Golf balls that don't fly more than 120 yards. That dog goes nuts when he goes in the garage, he'll sit and bark at my bag until I pull a club out.

Split hands drill (with Driver)

- Set up as you typically do for a practice swing. For a right-handed golfer, lower your right hand roughly 8” below your other hand. Take a couple of swings. Make a point to feel your trail shoulder “sweep underneath” your lead shoulder on the downswing.

This is to help typical “coming over the top” twist motion.

Yep. When I am really hacking it up, this is my go to. Almost always gets me back to hitting irons solid.

I don't know what it's called but my issues generally come from tempo problems and yanking the club back down from the top.

What I started doing (saw it online somewhere) is setting up with the ball in the regular position in my stance but with the club actually in front of the ball closer to me lead foot then back swing over the ball.

I'd forgot about the step forward drill. I need to try that one.

There are lots of potential problems with one's swing. I know exactly what mine is, and when I can get out of it, I really don't long for much more out of my swing. It's lack of hip action which prevents me from having ball first contact. This drill is perfect for my main flaw.
