Gap drill and driver set up

[Reposted Forum move]

Hi Ross,
Two questions

1. On the gap drill for wedges and short irons do you use this gap just as a drill or is your actual on course shot going to look like this as well?

2. Do you focus your eyes on the club head behind the ball inline with your front foot as you swing or would you focus on the back of the ball?

Looking to gain more consistency with these shots.

Thanks
Mike

I use it all the time and focus (a little) at the entire ball. I see the ball, but am more picturing (in my minds eye), my rotation to the finish. For my swing I picture a complete finish (the club/arms and body rotation) finish at the same time*.

* Now the club/arms and body rotation must finish together to have been correctly aligned through impact, but they do not start or move together on the backswing. The shoulders move first and things windup from top down. Then as they unwind, they all should finish together with your body in balance. There should be no fall back or extra step to catch yourself if done correctly.
