Which drill would influence centeredness of contact?

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

Answer: (A)

Centeredness of contact means striking the ball with the center of the clubface, producing crisp, solid shots with consistent distance and trajectory. The Gradual Length Drill helps you maintain a consistent contact point as you vary swing length, so the clubface meets the ball in a similar way whether your swing is short or full. The Divot Drill reinforces ball-first contact by teaching a proper downward strike and pressing into the turf after impact, which trains your center contact rather than swinging under the ball. The Toe Up to Toe Up Drill keeps the club’s toe up through impact, encouraging a square, stable face and a centered contact zone.

Together these drills directly influence how the face meets the ball, increasing the likelihood of centered contact. The other drills emphasize path, tempo, or releasing the club, which are useful but don’t target the contact location as directly.
