In this video, we’re looking at Sergio García—one of the best iron players in the world.
And if you’ve followed my channel for a while, this move will look familiar: the hands drop down at the start of the downswing.
Now here’s the important part: Your hands move in two directions during the transition— one vertical (downward), and one horizontal (toward the ball).
And if you’re someone who struggles with slicing the ball, swinging from the outside, or has a bit of that chicken wing at impact— then chances are, your horizontal movement is too dominant, and your vertical movement is too small.
What Sergio does so well—and what you should start feeling—is this: At the beginning of the downswing, his hands first go down. Only after that comes the horizontal part of the motion.
And that’s what makes the golf swing so tricky. It’s a combination of a throwing motion (downward) and a slingshot motion (outward).
That mix—throw first, then sling—is what makes the sequence feel a little strange at first. But once you focus on getting that vertical “drop” at the start, everything else begins to fall into place.
So if you’re working on your downswing pattern— remember: throw it down first… then sling it through.
And if you’re interested in learning how to make this part of your swing—together, in a supportive training group with guidance from experts— just comment “Coaching” below. I’ll send you the link to our coaching program, where LPGA Tour player Sandra Gal and I help you implement moves like this into your game—step by step.
