It is important that the club goes back on one arc and comes down on a shallow arc.

At the transition point of your swing your body changes direction, shoulders tilt and your arms drop on a shallower plane.

The baseball swing and the forearm motion with a tennis racket both use a shallowing action similar to the golf swing.

  1. Thank you. Replacing a “micro” movement to “macro” concept and let the unconscious brain do the rest…

  2. This works as long as you are a little laid off at the top. You have to shallow the shaft if you’re across the line. It’s all about matchups.

  3. Mr Malaska, is one plane workable? or does the rotation of the body in the downswing automatically drop the plane lower than the backswing plane ? At 66, its' difficult enough just trying to control low point. Thank You

  4. I see what you’re saying, but for those people who are coming in too steep because they’re yanking the handle from the top, don’t you think those people need to FEEL as if the clubhead drops a little bit in transition in order to get the clubhead in the proper spot, so that the clubhead and arms CAN move at the same speed the rest of the way? I think for most people they have very little idea of what a properly shallowed shaft feels like, and just saying “swing it like a baseball bat” might not translate (they already think they are swinging it like a baseball bat. Not to mention many amateurs don’t have the flexibility to externally rotate their shoulder enough to shallow the club with just the arms. Thoughts?

  5. thanks Mike … shallowing like we are told we should is bats**t crazy. it's about time a top teacher (you) said it outloud.
