If you’ve seen the viral videos of Tommy Fleetwood on the range, you know he doesn’t just “hit balls.” He builds a fortress. Known as the Tommy Fleetwood Drill (or the Fleetwood Strike Station), this setup is one of the stable datums behind his world-class consistency.

While Tommy famously uses the Swing Plane Perfector to lock in his angles, you can replicate this exact feel to fix your path and strike.

What is the “Tommy Fleetwood Drill”?

The drill uses external obstacles to create a “gate” for the club. It provides instant, physical feedback: if you swing off-plane, you hit an obstacle. No guessing, just results.

The Setup: How to Build the Station

To do this correctly, Tommy focuses on three things: spine angle, arm track, and shaft plane. Here is how to set it up using the Swing Plane Perfector:

1. 1. The Plane Guide: Place your SWINGPLANE PERFECTOR 2–3 feet behind the ball. Set the alignment stick to match your club’s shaft angle at address.
   2. Place your target stick into the SWINGPLANE PERFECTOR.
   3. The Impact Obstacle: Place a soft object—like a golf ball box, towel, or yoga block—just outside the toe of the clubhead.

How it Works: Instant Feedback

The goal is simple: Swing the club without hitting the Perfector or the box.

• • Hit the SWINGPLANE PERFECTOR target stick? You’re coming too far from the inside (under the plane). This causes those dreaded blocks and snap-hooks.
  • Hit the Box? (Tommy uses a box as his impact obstacle) You’re swinging “over the top” or across the line, which is the #1 cause of the amateur slice.
  • Miss Both? You’ve found the “slot.” Your club is on a neutral path, hitting the center of the face with pure compression.

Why Tommy Fleetwood Uses the Swing Plane Perfector

You’ll often see Tommy with the Swing Plane Perfector on the range.

“It basically takes care of the one thing I struggled with early in my career—the shaft angle. It keeps me nice and on plane.” — Tommy Fleetwood

By using the Perfector, Tommy ensures his practice station is identical every single practice. Whether he’s on a grass or a driving range mat.

Start Training Like a Pro

The “Tommy Fleetwood Drill” isn’t just for the pros—it’s the fastest way for any golfer to stop “guessing” where their club is in space. By adding the Swing Plane Perfector to your bag, you can bring Tommy’s tour-level precision to your home range or simulator.
