Most golfers seeking to shallow out their golf swing do so in the interest of increasing their consistency, learning how to draw their shot and experience some of the best rounds of golf of their entire life.
While we can go through a laundry list of how to shallow out a golf swing for more consistent shots, players should first have a firm understanding of why shallowing their angle of attack provides such benefits. Golfers who are unable to shallow out their swings on the downswing will find consistent contact to be impossible during the impact position.
While shallowing out your golf club, you’ll be getting the club to become more horizontally flat during the downswing. Many players suffer from over the top casting motions that ultimately cause their club to travel upon a steep plane during the downswing transition. The resulting shots are typically big misses far right, fat shots and skinny shots. Players using a driver will often experience pop up shots that lead to quite an embarrassing outing. All of these negative shots will completely sink your game in the long run.
Players should aim to get their golf club to split their right forearm ( if you’re right handed) during the downswing transition. Such a movement causes the ideal angle for compressing golf shots during impact, which will lead to great contact overall. Many of the leading players of the PGA Tour use this exact method, and it has become quite popular with me and my golf students as well.
Golfers who are unable to replicate a shallow angle of attack are often coming down very steep during their transition. Players plagued by such inabilities are typically lack the hip rotation needed to properly begin their downswing. During the downswing transition, players should produce a slight downward movement towards the turf which will generate the needed power while utilizing their legs to maintain the golf swing. Such positioning often resembles a miniature squat move, that ultimately activates the power reserves found in a player’s legs.
Get shallow every time. Find a slot every time, I’m playing every time
In this video me and my golf student Curtis demonstrate how to use the elbow joints to his advantage. His right elbow needs to soften in the very beginning Dash at the set up from there the right arm job is to Saufley rotate the palm and forearm to the sky and let the left guard rotate over to the right so that the right elbow will be lower than the left in the middle of the backswing to the top and on the way down to the slot
