The TrueStrike Heel Stomp Power Drill

Fix Early Extension and Square Your Delivery

Focus: Full Swing

Drill Objective

Early extension is a swing killer that causes the club shaft to pitch out and move across the ball, leading to weak slices or pulls. This drill uses TrueStrike under the lead heel to force a proper lateral shift and "stomp" motion. By keeping the heel down and shifting correctly, the club naturally "lays down" into a shallow, powerful delivery position.

Set-Up

  1. Place a TrueStrike underneath your back heel (right heel for right-handed golfers).
  2. Take your normal stance with a mid-iron, feeling the slight elevation under that heel.
  3. Ensure your weight is balanced before starting your backswing.

Instructions

  1. Take a normal backswing, keeping your lead heel pressure on the block.
  2. As you begin the downswing, feel like you are stomping down on the block to keep that heel planted.
  3. As you stomp, feel a lateral shift toward the target. This motion allows the club shaft to naturally lay down rather than pitching outward.
  4. Roll through the impact zone while maintaining that grounded feeling.
  5. Practice this "stomp and shift" motion to feel the club slot into a perfect delivery position before hitting full shots.
