4-Step Swing Grid Drill: Improve Connection, Power, and Swing Path Consistency

Key Points

• Purpose of the Drill Setup:
  Helps players avoid disconnection during the takeaway.Reinforces connected motion with the belly button triangle drill and a visual grid.Key for syncing arms with the torso and keeping the club on plane.
• Swing Position Breakdown (Positions 1–4):
  Position 1: Takeaway — club matches shaft line on the ground; belly button stays connected.Position 2: Club and hands move to shoulder height on a 45° angle, loading into the right glute/hip.Position 3: Right elbow touches right hip; shaft aligned with target stick down the line.Position 4: Snap right arm into the navel area, maintaining shaft-to-forearm alignment, then post and foldinto finish.
• Right Arm Focus:
  Drill inspired by Ben Hogan's "throw the right arm" concept.Emphasis on right elbow tucking, and right arm extension through impact for power and face control.Avoids flipping the wrists and keeps the face square longer.
• Use of Intermediate Targets & Visualization:
  Reinforces Warren's “Think Box / Play Box” approach.Mentally prepare with drills, then shift into execution mode without overthinking.
• Common Issues Addressed:
  Over-the-top move in transition.Getting “outside the body” on the downswing.Flipping the hands at impact — fixed with ball wedge drill and “wiping the table” move
• Connection to Brooks Koepka's Development:
  Warren used this same process with Brooks to eliminate flipping, build a consistent cut shot, and keep the face stable under pressure.
• Results & Feedback:
  Brian felt more connected, powerful, and in control, especially with better swing path and shallow angle of attack.The process simplified his feel and improved predictability of the shot pattern.
