Belly Button Triangle Drill: Improve Body-Arm Connection and Ball Striking

Key Points

• Drill Name: Belly Button Triangle Drill (no towel or glove needed)
• Setup:
  Place the club grip into your navel (belly button), forming a triangle with your arms and torso.This helps train the body and arms to move as one unit.
• Swing Focus:
  Coil with the hips, keeping the arms in front of the chest.Fold the arms on a 45° plane — maintaining spine alignment.Right elbow connects to the side on downswing.Extend the arms through impact and pivot into the finish.
• Common Mistake:
  Starting the swing with hands lifting or arms disconnecting from the torso.Leads to “slapping” at the ball and loss of power.
• Footwork Cue:
  Weight should move: Right heel → Left toe → Left heel.Promotes balanced weight transfer and smooth rotation.
• Goal:
  Improve body-arm connection for straighter, more powerful, and more consistent ball striking.
