Rory McIlroy's Favorite Golf Drill - The Pete Cowen Split Grip Drill

Rory McIlroy is the best driver of the golf ball. But just like you he battles some swing flaws. Here is shows how this split grip drill, from Pete Cowen, helps him hit the ball more consistently and solidly. Not to mention a mile. Here is Pete Cowen's Chinese Fighting Stick drill or better known as the split grip drill. It really is an excellent tip to force your hands to stay in front of your body, get your right shoulder in the proper place and prevent the club from being stuck behind your body. Getting stuck is a common fault of mine and this split hand drill has been a savior for my golf swing. This is a common fault among amateurs and is often why you see golfers coming over the top to slice the ball. The club gets caught so far behind you that it is near impossible to get the club on the ball without a big early extension or throwing the club out (casting) with a big over the top move. The result for me was always a push to the right but often with other golfers it leads to that over the top slice. I suggest doing the split grip drill on the range between shots. It will clean up your takeaway and start your club on the right path. This start makes the entire swing just that much easier. Good luck.
