- When I first started, I played from instinct and that worked pretty well. However, I was talked out of it by some bad swing concepts and was forced to go on a path of discovery to regain what I naturally had. This is what helped me put it back together.
The Four Step Drill is one of the best drills there is… if you practice it properly. It helps you get a feel for the four things you want to be doing with your club. Take a look at each step, and keep them from blending together.

You have gift. If you were a top level touring pro back in the day you might not have developed your gift. God works in mysterious ways.
I have been playing golf for 50 years with a low handicap of 8 in my 40,s climbing up to the 12-14 range as I entered my seventies . I am still able to play the Members tees and and hit the T-ball 235-250. The main problem has always been inconsistency with the T-Ball, long irons and fairway-woods. Just turned age 76 and in the last month have shot 2-4 strokes better than my age 4 times! ...all do to practicing this 4 step drill. It has changed my game!. For me it has become the 4 shot drill PLUS 2. Instead of going to step 4 , I have been (4) bringing the club lightly back to the impact zone (on about the same 45 degree angle it turned up in step 3) behind the ball, step 5 is just a half way back swing waggleback along the path it came down, and step 6 is repeating that same waggle path and going back into a full back swing. Coming into the ball is Sooooooo different and I dont even have to think about clearing my forward hip, it just happens naturally like you demonstrated in another drill. Mike , you are the best at keeping this simple, I probably have 20 different CD,s explaining the one -plane, two plane swing, etc. This definitely feels like a 1 planer which I never could seem to master. Never could get the hips moving correctly. This 4 step drill simply made them go the correct way naturally. Anyone reading this might think this must be taking up lots of time BUT the fact is I have shortened the time from adress to hitting the shot by at least 50 %! Thank you, Mike.. Bill C.
Mike I'm so glad I found your channel. I've watched your videos for 1 week and today shot 36 41. My best score in three years since hearing about shaft lean, lag, and shallowing the club from the top which completely screwed up my golf swing. Thank you very much for getting me back on track. It's great to know now exactly what my swing was/is doing and why. I'm a new fan for life!
Does this drill work for driver?
Classic medici effect....pulling disparate concepts from other disciplines and merging them into models of thinking....he just gets it....too many conventional thinkers and methods have done nothing or created diminishing return to amateur players....need power law thinkers like Mike to permeate the field
My first lesson in the early '60s used a variation of this drill. 1) raise club up in front of you until arms are at about 90 degrees to body with wrists cocked 2) make your turn 3) swing. My swing was what was called a caddie shack swing - a little too flat. This drill got immediate results with higher hands, and a higher, straighter ball flight - with a wooden shafted 5-iron.
Cheer Mike, drill has shown me that my hands and wrists were in the wrong position at the top. Also from the new position you can't hit the ball unless your hands drop first. Stick in! You'll make a living out of this yet👍
I can’t believe he’s only at 57,000 subscribers. That’s tragic.
I am 70 & still an avid golfer but from 13 Hdcp to 23 in last 5 yrs - Could not care less about the score, after 5 heart attacks and still standing, enjoying the game as much but aiming at a normal score of 90 rather than 72. Having just as much fun when I play ''my type of par'' (90) and more yet when I manage a game under 90. As we grow old, there is a thing that rows with us it is called ''WISDOW'' - It has the faculty of selecting the impostant things from the nitty gritty stuff; Golf score is nitty gritty for me now ! Thank you still Mike for the clear explanations. Like you I wish I had known the swing before but... then again ...nitty gritty !
I like this drill very much. What’s astonishing, it is without the Malaska move in the downswing. And I like this too, because the Malaska move feels unnatural for me.
Hey Mike not sure you'll see this comment but I've been watch a shit load of you videos and by the 4th video I've listened mostly and I've decided that your a realist !!! I sure you know what that means and it's a tremendous compliment to you because it means you've been thru it and took knowledge out of it and you deal with it the right way !! Awesome Mike ,I absolutely love facts nothing better and you put facts out there so ty for who you are !!! Oh PS you teachings are making me a much better golfer thanks!!!
Mike, been watching for the last few months and your instruction, style really has helped my game, not only what you show but a lot of the thinking and talking about how to approach practice, and playing. Example, I played a round last week and the only thing I focused on was my RHYTHM of my swing, and most of the round were relaxed solid shots. What a difference, thank you and keep the video's coming.
Thanks Mike. I really like your teaching. I hit the ball effortlessly and more secure. Glad i found you on UA-cam
It's cold up here in Colorado! This weather is for the birds. Back to FL I go. Thanks again Mike for the instruction. You're right, we have in the past made this game much harder to understand. Your struggles are not in vain remember that. Without you, I would never had a change to make it to the tour. NOW I have a chance thanks to you.
Hello Mike, Thank You for sharing your experiences and knowledge. I enjoyed your details of executing the drill and the potential pitfalls.
it seems less clumsy for me to make this a 5 step drill. i love this drill mike. it's fantastic on the first tee waiting to hit. the best part is how it develops the pace and rythum. any time there is a "waiting" or slow down to the pace of play on the course is gr8 to do this a few times. thanks again
Hey Mike, boy I've been waiting to here the things you are teaching. I started playing golf at 40 yrs old. It's been a up and down struggle trying to do what you are seeing the pros do. You, put it in proper context for me when I heard you say on one of your videos. Is it a cause or an effect. I realized I had been trying to produce an effect without understanding the cause. Im now perfecting the Malaska move Lol! Golf has now become fun. Looking for to lower scores! Wow Thanks Mike you are the clearest teacher I've ever heard!
Amen, enjoy and appreciate your gift it is special
