What drill would be most helpful for a person who is having trouble squaring the clubface at impact?

• A. Toe-In / Heel-In Drill
• B. Swing Path Drill
• C. Inside-Out Drill
• D. Grip Pressure Drill

Answer: (A)

Squaring the clubface at impact hinges on how the face is oriented the moment you strike the ball. The Toe-In / Heel-In drill directly trains you to feel and control the clubface’s orientation at contact by focusing on the relationship between the toe and heel as you swing through impact. By guiding the club to meet the ball with a square-face feel, you learn to prevent the face from staying open or closing too early, which is what leads to missed squaring. The other drills mainly influence how the club travels through the swing or how you grip the club, which can affect distance and path but don’t target face alignment as directly. The swing path drill and inside-out drill focus on the direction of the swing rather than the acute alignment of the face at impact, while the grip pressure drill affects tension and control but is less specific to ensuring the face is square at the moment of contact.
