Bryson DeChambeau Drill: Right-Arm Drive for Clean Contact & Consistency
Place a yardstick 6–7 inches behind the ball and hit without touching it. This right-arm drive drill builds forward shaft lean, low-point control, and cleaner contact for chips and full swings—taught by Bryson DeChambeau’s junior coach.
Key Points
Drill Setup:
- Place a yardstick on the ground.
- Set a ball about 6–7 inches in front of the stick.
- Goal: Hit the ball cleanly without touching the stick
Focus of the Drill:
- Emphasizes the right arm driving through impact.
- Builds the habit of pushing through the ball instead of decelerating.
- Can be used for chips or full shots — referred to as a “chip shot procedure”
Common Mistake:
- Many players hit the yardstick (early contact or scooping).
- If nervous, move the stick back slightly until you can complete the motion confidently
Right Arm Action:
- Folding and driving: The right arm should fold naturally on the backswing and drive aggressively through the ball.
- Creates cleaner contact, better trajectory, and more consistency
Pro Insight:
- Bryson DeChambeau uses a similar concept with masking tape on the ground.
- This version is more portable — ideal when practicing without extra gear
