Golf coaches Erika Larkin and Donna Fuselli share three satisfyingly simple tapping drills designed to sharpen your grip, improve your low point control, and build a balanced finish. Using nothing more than a ruler, a tee in the ground, and your trail toe, these drills offer immediate, tangible feedback. If your swing feels inconsistent or hard to repeat, this video is well worth your time.
Erika Larkin – Game Improvement
Erika Larkin and certified True Swing coach Donna Fuselli walk through three progressive drills that address the fundamentals most golfers overlook: hand placement at address, brushing the ground consistently at impact, and transferring weight fully into the finish. Each drill uses a physical cue — a tap — to give you clear, real-time feedback without the need for a ball. The sequence works equally well on the range or at home with minimal space.
Key Takeaways Thumb tap for a neutral grip
Place your thumbs down the middle edge of a ruler to check they are centred on the grip, reducing tension and helping the club face stay square through the swing.
Tee tap for low point control
Clip a tee out of the ground with small-to-large swings, building from chip height to shoulder height, to train a consistent, repeatable low point and improve ball contact.
Toe tap for a balanced finish
After every shot, tap your trail toe three times to confirm your weight has fully transferred onto your front leg, ensuring a genuine and controlled follow-through.
Try running through all three drills in sequence at your next range session — thumb tap to set your grip, tee tap to find your low point, and toe tap to check your finish. This video suits golfers at any level who want straightforward, feel-based feedback to make their swing more consistent and natural.
