Become a better ball striker in 2026

I do believe we can be better ball strikers in this coming year.  If we did these three drills and swing stations. great things would take place.

1) Photo 1; Anti arm lift, more turn. Ben Hogan imagined swinging under a plane of glass resting on his shoulders. This enhances depth of your backswing, turning your pivot rather than merely lifting your arms.

2) Photo 2; Shallower attack thru “Hitting Zone!” Place a shaft in the ground parallel to the target line. Make sure your club head works under the shaft on ground. Hit shots off a tee. Promotes proper plane thru hitting zone. Most consistent path. Zach Johnson does this regularly.

3) Photo 3; Practice IMPACT! Squaring the club face to the board or golf ball consistently. Hands lead to and thru golf ball and hitting zone. Shoulders square ant impact, weight left, hips, slightly cleared. Copy the photo.

You can set up all the images and stations at home. Do the drills with or without hitting shots. Get better no matter the weather.
