When it comes to improving your golf game, the details matter—especially when it comes to your club face. This week’s tip, brought to you by Darren DeMille of QuickFixGolf.com, introduces a game-changing way to use one of the most popular training aids on the market: the Orange Whip.
Why the Orange Whip?
The Orange Whip is a staple for golfers aiming to improve their swing mechanics and rhythm. But there’s one critical element that often gets overlooked—club face control. That’s where this simple, yet powerful, drill comes in.
The Drill: Control Your Club Face
Here’s how to make the most of your Orange Whip:
- Mark the Ball: Take a Sharpie and divide the ball in half—color one side black the other side will be orange.
- Set Up: Place the marked ball so that the colors are perfectly split in front of you.
- Swing Back: As you swing the Orange Whip, focus on keeping the black side on top during your backswing.
- Check the Club Face: The black side staying on top means your club face is pointing in the correct direction. If you see too much orange, your club face is open—a recipe for timing issues.

Why This Works
This drill ensures that your club face is properly aligned during your backswing, eliminating bad habits like opening the face too early. By practicing this move daily, you’ll build muscle memory and develop a consistent, reliable swing.
