Our take on David Leadbetter's Preset drill

We have learned loads from David Leadbetter over the years.

This drill is not saying "we know best", but we have found something that works for us in our teaching. Something that is based on what we have learned from one of the best coaches in the game.

Leadbetter likes to have what he calls the "dish angle" at the top of the back swing. This is a slight cupping of the left wrist.

In our teaching, we prefer to get the left wrist in the position it will be in (hopefully) at impact, as we feel it is easier to "find" this position on the way back rather than on the way down to the ball.

The drill itself though is brilliant. You take the hand position you intend to be in at the top and start from there. Swing from that position by turning the shoulders back.

Pause at the top to feel the position, the start the swing to the ball.

Give it a try with a flat left wrist and see if you don't start to hit the ball straighter.
