1. Train Contact Before Swing Speed
Most at-home drills should focus on center-face contact, not power.
Tip:
- Use impact tape, foot spray, or a dry-erase marker on the clubface
- Hit soft shots into a net or make slow rehearsal swings
- Your goal: strike pattern tightening toward the center
👉 Better contact = immediate handicap reduction.
2. Use Slow Motion to Fix Flaws
At home is perfect for slow-motion drills that are impossible on the course.
Try this:
- Swing at 30–40% speed
- Pause at key positions (top, impact, finish)
- Focus on balance and sequencing
Slow reps reprogram movement patterns far faster than full swings.
3. Train With Alignment (Even Indoors)
Poor alignment is one of the biggest causes of inconsistent shots.
Simple setup:
- Lay an alignment stick, club, or tape line on the floor
- Practice setup and takeaway along that line
- Check shoulder, hip, and foot alignment
Most golfers aim wrong without realizing it—this fixes that fast.
4. Prioritize Short Game Drills
You don’t need a range to improve putting and chipping mechanics.
At-home ideas:
- Putt to a coin or tee for start-line control
- Practice stroke length control (3-foot, 6-foot, 9-foot strokes)
- Use a towel as a landing spot for chipping motion drills
Short game practice at home translates directly to lower scores.
5. Train Consistently, Not Longer
10–15 minutes a day beats a random 2-hour session once a week.
Best approach:
- Pick 1–2 drills per session
- Set a clear goal (contact, balance, start line)
- Stop once focus drops
Consistency builds skill. Volume without intention doesn’t.
If you want, I can:
- Build a 15-minute daily at-home golf routine
- Suggest specific drills for consistency or contact
- Help you choose drills based on your handicap level
