    Probably one of the greatest explanations, I’m a over the top guy 💯!! And have fought the wrong way most of my life! This is the first time I’ve heard put this way and makes way more since!! Going to range tomorrow to try it, thank you so much from San Diego California!!

  • @Blessed921

    Alex I watched this tip yesterday and as a lifelong slicer I did some of these swings at home and then headed out to my usual course. It was absolutely amazing, finally something that really worked! I was swinging easier and finally coming down in the slot and it changed everything. Drives were actually hitting the fairway and distance increased thus I knocked 7 strokes off of my 9 hole average. What a game changer..Thank you so much!!!

  • @BovineJustice

    Just popped in to say this is the single best, and possibly only, youtube tip I've ever used that's had such a dramatic impact on my swing.
    It started by fixing my over-the-top driver issue. I knew I wasn't shallowing it, I had lessons pointing it out, but this drill is the only thing to actually correct it.
    I then applied it to my 3-wood and 3H which I THOUGHT I hit well but this ramped up the consistency. THEN I applied it down the irons and the consistency and compression improvements have been crazy good. It feels like I unlocked a little secret no one else knew because none of the instructors I tried ever fixed my swing plane issues like this single little drill.
    I was also compounding my issues by doing the elbow in and down thing which just jammed me up and forced me to slow my swing down to compensate. Awesome stuff.

    Awesomeness. There are so many ways to try and explain the same thing in golf. The swing is endlessly complicated yet deceptively simple. This concept really works well for me, especially with the slo mo video of wrong vs. right. I could put a video of myself before and after and it would show the EXACT same thing. Love it!

    Bookmarking this one. I've been trying to get shallower for a few years and struggling. Does it make sense that it's easier to achieve with shorter clubs vs. longer? That's the experience I've had. I feel like the longer clubs are really dragging hard and have trouble hitting solid.

    I recently started doing this with my driver. My primary focus at the top of my swing is to close the club face as much as I have ever closed it. That really sets off a chain reaction where my body rotates through the shot way more. It’s a great feeling and my driving accuracy has increase dramatically. I am having one major problem though. When I do this with my irons, I am not hitting all of my irons off the bottom of the club. I am thinning all my shots. Do you have any recommendations on how to fix this? Any help is appreciated!
