So, having just seen the previous drill about taking the club away nicely on the plane using the tee peg and the butt end of the golf club, you might be asking, "Well, how do we now make the transition? How do we now come back down to the golf ball and can we use the same exercise?" Yes, you can to a degree, yes.

So, you set up in a similar position. I've got my cane here and if you don't have an alignment stick like this, just use another golf club on the floor. Feel how the tee peg runs down the yellow line on the backswing, allowing the transition. We want to be pulling down but making sure that the shaft of the golf club and the tee peg still point onto the same alignment stick. The alignment stick, remember is placed directly behind the golf ball pointing at target.

Just be conscious that occasionally in this position, this is where people come over the top and if you're a slicer of the golf ball, you might feel how you come forwards and the tee peg doesn't point at the alignment cane but points down towards your feet a bit too much.

So, from this angle, my alignment stick, pointing in the right direction towards the target, I set up nicely there, take it to the top, I should pull down and transition so the butt end and the tee peg still point at the yellow line and I wouldn't want to be coming over the top. So, the tee peg then points in the wrong place. Likewise, if I was too flat in my transition, I'm pointing the tee peg above the yellow line. Again, that's another concern, another problem.

So, it's up pointing at the yellow line, down pointing at the yellow line, deliver it into the back of the golf ball. So, using the tee peg at the back of the golf club there can help you hit straighter and longer golf shots.
