Down on the range: Cone your game
Published: Last updated:
Going down the range in the winter months can, at times, seem about as appealing as a trip to a dentist who has shaking hands and a worryingly sadistic attitude towards patients. As a result, all too often, many of us get 100 balls from the machine and fire through them with absolutely no plan of attack. Here, The Bedford’s James Ridyard shows eight ways to make your time more useful.
Here is a great way to control a fade or a draw. If you hit a draw, set up a piece of rope from just in front of your ball to a tee peg 1-20 yards down the line.
Do the same thing but on a 20˚ angle to the right. That space between the two is called the cone.The ball should leave the clubface within the confines of the cone and curve back towards the first line, but not cross it – hit 10 successfully before moving on to another drill.
For a fade, all that changes is the second line goes left, not right.
