Want to hit it farther and sync your body like the pros? The secret is coordinating your leg drive with your arm swing. This week, Darren deMaille from QuickFixGolf.com breaks down a simple drill inspired by Xander Schauffele to help you get your body in sequence and unlock effortless power.
Why Leg Drive Matters
Most amateur golfers struggle to sync their lower body and upper body, leading to lost power and inconsistent ball striking. If your legs fire too early or too late, your arms and club won’t be in the right position to strike the ball solidly. The key is timing—and we’ve got the perfect drill to fix it.
The Step & Swing Drill
This drill teaches you to move your lower body athletically and in sync with your arms for maximum efficiency.
1️⃣ Set up as usual with a wedge.
2️⃣ Make a backswing and pause at the top.
3️⃣ Step forward with your lead foot as if stepping into a throw.
4️⃣ Swing through naturally.
This drill forces your lower body and upper body to sync, just like the pros.
