Xander Schauffele’s iron play has long been a strength, but after years of struggling with his driver, he’s developed a new tool to improve his driving stats: a step drill.
The step drill is a device that helps golfers find the correct angle of attack for their swing. Schauffele began using the drill in 2023, and he says it has helped him to shallow out his swing and make better contact with the ball.
The results have been evident in Schauffele’s stats. In 2022, he ranked 180th on the PGA Tour in driving accuracy. This year, he’s up to 12th. He’s also averaging over 10 yards more per drive.
Schauffele’s improvement is a testament to the power of a simple drill. If you’re struggling with your driving, it’s worth giving the step drill a try.
Struggling to get up and down around the green? You’re not alone. Even the best golfers in the world can struggle with this aspect of the game. But there’s a simple drill that can help you improve your creativity and shot-making ability around the greens. And the best part is, it’s a lot of fun!
To perform the drill, you’ll need a variety of clubs, including a putter, wedges, and even a long iron. Start by placing a ball on the green about 10 feet from the hole. Then, using your putter, try to hit the ball into the hole. If you miss, don’t worry. Simply pick the ball up and try again. The goal is to hit the ball into the hole in as few strokes as possible.
