Drills to Improve Clubface Control

Make the drill visible

Good drills give you feedback without needing a coach to narrate every swing. For clubface control, set up a task you can see: a start-line gate, a towel for low point, or an alignment stick that shows whether the club is travelling where you think it is.

Three-ball practice block

1. Hit one rehearsal ball at 60 percent speed.
2. Hit one normal ball with the same feel: knuckles and logo staying quiet through impact.
3. Hit one “score it” ball and keep the result.

Repeat the block with your 7-iron before moving to a longer club. If the drill only works slowly, that’s still progress; speed can come later.

Range game

Try the start-line gate drill and give yourself a point for five balls starting between two tees. Stop after 15 balls. Short, scored sets teach more than beating another bucket into the same mistake.
