Net Intervals
Why this drill
A net session dies when every ball gets the same absent-minded lash. Intervals — ten balls at half speed, ten at three-quarter, five at full — give the net what it's actually good at: grooving sequence and strike while nobody watches the result.
Setup
Hitting net, mat, twenty-five balls, a mid iron and the driver. The towel-behind-ball gate from the strike drill, optional but recommended.
The drill
Ten swings at half speed — full turn, easy arms, perfect balance, every strike flush off the mat. Ten at three-quarter, same swing, more turn. Five at full intent with the driver, holding every finish. The progression is the drill: speed is added to a sequence, never traded for it. If strike quality drops at any interval, the next five balls go back one gear. Twenty-five balls, fifteen minutes, and the net has done a range's worth of tempo work.
One thought to take with you
Add speed to the swing you have — don't swap it for a worse one.
