Gate:

To encourage the pupil to develop central club face contact

Place 1 or 2 tees either side of the object tee or ball to create a 'gate' for the club to swing through at impact (1). Start with a fairly wide gate, gradually narrowing as the pupil improves their skill. A similar drill is achieved with just one tee on the outside of the ball (2).
