Pause at the Top

5-10 min Solo No Equipment, Wedge
Setup
Use a wedge or short iron. Pick a 50–70 yard target.
Drill Instructions
Make swings adding a half-beat pause at the top, then unwind from the ground up. Hit 10 balls with the pause, then 10 blending it naturally. Compare strike and start line.
Goal
Improve centered strike rate by 20% vs. baseline.
Make It Easier
Use half-swings only.
Coach Tip
If you can’t pause, you’re rushing—own control first, then remove the conscious pause.
Make It Harder
Apply to long irons or driver with same improvement target.
Avoid
Stalling the body and then throwing the hands from the top.
