Pete’s Axe Drill strips the golf swing back to something your body already understands: a simple vertical chop.

When you lift a club like an axe, your wrists hinge, your elbow folds, and your shoulder stacks — all naturally.

The genius is this:
Pete simply turns that chop onto the swing plane, giving you:

• A naturally achieved wrist set
• A correct elbow fold
• A natural coil (not forced rotation)
• The “toe down” delivery that allows for natural ball pressure to become an elite ball striker.

It’s the easiest way to feel plane, path, pressure, and sequencing — without thinking positions or mechanics.
A drill so simple, your nervous system “gets it” instantly.

If the Wide Stance and Leg Spiral drills train movement,
the Axe Drill trains delivery — how your arms, wrists, and forearms organise the club on plane with zero manipulation.

Vertical → Diagonal Conversion (The Genius Behind the Axe)

A vertical axe motion already contains perfect biomechanics:

• Wrist hinge

• Elbow fold

• Shoulder lift

• Natural spiral

When Pete “rotates the log” into golf position, he’s not changing the action —
he’s redirecting your natural movement onto your swing plane.

This is why players instantly strike the ball better with this drill.
It uses the body’s innate dynamic patterns — not forced positions.

The Plane Sets Itself (If You Let It)

Pete’s setup teaches the essentials of elite geometry:

• Toe down → not shut

• Elbows soft and inward → not pinned

• Wrists cock → not rolled

• Shoulders coil → not tilt or lift

The club reaches its correct plane through fold + coil, not manipulation.

Forearm Rotation — The Part 99.9% Get Wrong

Most amateurs roll their forearms “outside,” instantly losing pressure.

The Axe Drill removes that fault because:

• The forearms unspiral down the line, not across it

• Pressure stays loaded through hand → elbow → shoulder

• The path stays on plane on a natural spiral

• The face remains stable under load

This is how elite players stabilise the club without “holding it off."

The Power Line (Pete’s Most Misunderstood Concept)

Pete’s pressure line = wrist + elbow + shoulder stacked with weight directed down through the forearm and hand.

That gives you:

• Pressure delivered along the arc

• A stable face even under speed

• Consistent entry and exit paths

Your good shots become brilliant… and your poor ones stay playable.

Final Takeaway

The Axe Drill isn’t about chopping.

It’s about teaching the body to load from the ground, transfer through the engine room, connect via the shoulder structure (the transmission), and deliver power through the arms, hands, and club in one unified spiral.

This is how plane, path, pressure, and rotation work together:

Naturally. With repetition. Without guesswork.
