Swing Drill - Crescent Divot Drill

This is one of my favorite drills that is being demonstrated by one of my juniors Camron.  I call it the Crescent Divot Drill

You will notice that Camron has marked the intended low point of his swing.  As he takes continuous practice swings he will attempt to move the divot further forward and further left (following the natural inward arch of the swing).

In order to accomplish this drill the player must successfully accomplish the following:
1) Not swaying to the right on the take away.
2) Retain the angle of the wrists on the down swing and allow for a delayed hit.
3) Hit down with the club head and create a divot in front of the ball.
4) Rotate the body to finish the swing.
