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
