On Thursday, Tom Watson was officially introduced as the 2014 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain.

Watson’s record as a player speaks for itself, and he has always been considered one of the game’s all-time greatest ball-strikers.

So who better in our Tip of the Week segment to gain a little insight from other than the newly announced Ryder Cup captain, as School of Golf host Martin Hall shows you a great drill that he learned from Watson to help you keep from getting stuck on your downswing.

It’s all about shoulder plane, and if you tend to get too far underneath the ball at impact and hit a lot of blocks, this drill could be just what you’re looking for to fix that problem.
