Which common drill helps the student develop a feel for clubhead speed?

• A. L To L Drill, Whoosh Drill
• B. Gradual Length Drill
• C. Toe In Heel In, Hold the Finish
• D. 2-Piece Backswing Drill

Answer: (A)

Developing a feel for clubhead speed comes from cues that couple sensation with the actual speed of the swing. The L To L Drill paired with the Whoosh Drill gives you both a mechanical and an auditory cue to train acceleration through impact. The L To L Drill helps you sense how the lead arm and the club should move together to maintain connection and proper sequencing, so the clubhead can accelerate efficiently. The Whoosh Drill provides immediate feedback on speed by the sound and feel of the club moving through the hitting area, encouraging a faster, more consistent release. Together, these drills train your body to reproduce the feel of rapid, controlled speed swing after swing.

The other drills focus more on swing length, balance at finish, or breaking the swing into parts, rather than directly cultivating the feel of speed you produce through the ball.
