How to do it
Lay a small towel flat on the ground a few inches beyond the ball on your target line.
Set up normally and hit shots with the goal of moving the towel with your follow-through.
If the towel doesn't move, you likely decelerated into the ball — repeat with more commitment.
Complete 15 balls, resetting the towel as needed.
Goal
Use a visible target beyond the ball to prevent the swing from quitting at impact.
Feel cue
Feel yourself swinging to move the towel, not just to reach the ball.
Mistake to avoid
Don't aim at the ball as your finish line — aim past it, at the towel.
