Can improving your golf swing be as easy as using the feet together drill?
The answer is, Yes! Can golf instruction really be that easy?..
“90 percent of players would be better playing with their feet together. Why? Because they will turn around a more consistent center. In addition, the bottom of the arc will be more consistent as well. Plus, they will only lose 10 percent of their usual distance. Research has proved that.”

It’s not easy to improve your golf swing.
That’s why we wrote this article – so you have a go-to guide for improving your golf game.
Below we will discuss the ins and outs of this simple golf drill and what it can do for you…
How To Do The Feet Together Drill
Start by simply putting your feet together so that your heels touch.
- Place the sole of the clubhead flat on the ground.
- Once you are settled, take a few “small” swings just trying to hit a tee that is in the ground in front of you (no matter what your handicap level).
- The more comfortable you become swinging with your feet together, the larger swing you can make and eventually place the golf ball on the tee and repeat the process.
What Other Golfers Are Saying…
EXCELLENT Based on 105 reviews Gregg Kinney2023-09-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the privilege of receiving golf instruction from Brad after years of inconsistent golf play. His ability to break down complex concepts into simple, digestible instructions is a testament to his skills as a golf instructor. Brad creates a relaxed and positive learning environment, making it easy to ask questions and seek clarification. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced golfer, Brad has the ability to identify and correct the subtle flaws in your technique, leading to improvements in your overall game. He is professional, courteous and a true asset to anyone seeking to enhance their golfing skills. Thanks to Brad, my golf game is much more enjoyable! Kevin Tokarczyk2023-08-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a new golfer and just started playing 2 years ago with my roommates in college. Now that I have graduated, I’ve wanted to play the game more seriously and started taking lessons 3 months ago. I have had multiple instructors with little improvement. Brad was the first instructor that was able to break down my swing in the simplest way and gave me a better understanding of how my body is supposed to move through my swing. Brad is articulate and concise which is great for me as a beginner golfer because he is able to efficiently communicate without confusion or over-explanation. I have seen more improvement from my one session with him than I have with any other instructor. 1 week on from my lesson with him I am making much better contact with the ball and my swing is smoother and straighter. Thank you Brad, I look forward to taking another lesson from you! Jeff Haag2023-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brad is one of the best golf instructors I’ve had. He’s very patient, and worked with my swing. It was horrible in the beginning. He broke it down and explained, in small steps, how to improve it. I was never overwhelmed. He gave me drills to do, and I followed his instructions. After 8 lessons, my game has improved immensely. Brad met me at a club fitter, which was helpful. I plan to take more lessons as soon as my rotator cuff is healed! (Not from golf) john jones2023-07-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. WOW, what a great training experience. Brad is patient, knowledgeable and a great instructor. He is able to feed information in small increments and it makes it so much easier to learn. I am looking forward to more lessons on the future. Benjamin Grais2023-06-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am new to the area so I was looking for a golf coach who could help me improve my game. I have played golf for 35 years but as I have aged, I needed to adjust my swing with golf lessons and expert instruction. I found Brad's website with a plethora of options including private and group lessons. In the last 3 weeks with Brad's coaching, I have enrolled in both private and group instruction with substantial Improvement. Besides being an amazing coach, Brad has exceptional interpersonal skills. He is authentic and truly wants to learn about you and your golf game. He has the latest technology and is able to explain the results which translates to a better golf game. Thank you Brad! I appreciate all of your help, patience, and guidance. Bob Hansbrough2023-05-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started taking lessons in July 2022 and my goal was to regain my swing that I had lost due to lack of play for 10 years. I was shooting 100-105. My goal was to regain my tempo and break 90 by 1/1/23. That goal was shattered in just 90 days. I’m now scoring in the mid 80’s consistently and I’ve shot 79 once. Brad has been there every step of the way. He breaks the swing down in bite size pieces. I improve after each lesson and he’s there for his students daily. He even helped me get fit with a custom driver just a few weeks ago at Club Champion. He’s the real deal if you want to improve your game. Thanks Brad James Suren2023-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brad is a great Golf Instructor. He is good at asking questions to help you learn rather than just giving you the answer right away. Helped me fix my swing and find consistency. Responds to texts when I have questions during practice to keep me moving in the right direction. Highly recommend. Jr Yang2023-05-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After so much frustration hacking away at balls on the range - it was a relief to finally have fun. I improved more in my one hour with Brad than I have in the past two months getting back into the game. His style is personable and relaxed, and he is a very effective communicator explaining concepts and correct feels. I finally feel confident standing over a golf ball again, and look forward to my next lesson with Brad. Roll Tide! Sam Stebbins2023-05-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really personable, easy to get a long with, and great applicable knowledge. I was a little anxious because I have a non traditional swing, but I was at ease with Brad immediately. He didn’t try and change my swing, rather he showed me where I could improve using my normal swing. I highly recommend Brad to anyone looking to improve their game. Michael S2023-05-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brad is an extremely knowledgeable and patient instructor. He explains things in an easy to follow manner. I highly recommend.
