I have to tell you, I was extremely surprised what this video did for me. Let me explain. I have a net with a round target in the middle that I hit into every other day from roughly 12-15 feet away. I normally hit around 100 balls. I am usually able to hit the target with the golf ball approximately 10-12 times. I followed your instructions to the tee and I couldn’t believe what happened. I am not exaggerating, but I was able to hit that bullseyes red target 68 times. I couldn’t believe it. Once again, YOU ARE THE MAN. You made a believer out of me. Thank you so much!
Getting stuck caused my shanks. Once I started working on my hand path and rotational drills, problem solved. Furthermore, I was hitting my shots further and straighter.
These drills fix so many issues.
We need more videos like this and less of the hitting driver 300 yard videos.
I would like to add the split hand grip drill should be in everyone's training arsenal. It was a game changer for me.
Keeping my trail leg "quiet" before and at impact, helped a lot with early extension.
My belief:
"I practice hard so that the game is easy."

This drill was excellent for me and my tendencies! My plane doing this drill was very good. My hips stayed deep without trying. The only additional thing I had to focus on was to keep my elbows together. Sometimes I had a tendency to split the elbows and get steep in an effort to get the hands to miss the head cover. Feeling the elbows stay close to each other while missing the head cover worked really well. When I took away the obstacle my swing thought was to feel like my hands were coming out of my right pocket. You know you are making a change when it feels really different. Video confirmed it for me. Thanks Steve!
Great! Good work.
Great video Steve. I believe this has caused most of my issues for years! Can't wait to get to work using this drill. Have a blessed day. ☝
Great drill - going to work it!
Superb video ,,,,I need to integrate this with your rock skipping video ….i have started playing again after many years and have been straight blocking right ,,,i now know why,,,thank you for this
Glad it helped!
Really great video Steve.
This is GOLD! Thanks 🙏🏼
Well done
Steve ive been stuck for an entire year. Countless UA-cam videos trying all these things none of them clicked for me. No one mentioned trying to keep your hands close to your thighs. I’m a 5.2 HDCP with an average path of about 6 I-O. My first swing trying to keep my hands close to my thighs I immediately got a I-O path of 1.8. That has to be the biggest lightbulb moment over ever had or seen in golf.
I bet the butt back exit low left will be a helpful drill.
Just took the hand path thought process to the range and wow did I hit some of the best shots of my life. And the most exciting part it worked in the weakest part of my game short shots under 50 yards. This video is at the top of my saved list. Thanks!
This 100% correct, Pete Cowen says the same.
Do you feel that you are deliberately moving the left arm in this manner and that the left arm is leading the downswing?
Thanks
I'm certainly not pulling the left arm down. I feel like I'm deliberately letting it drop closer to the right thigh as I pivot and turn.
@@Inmotion70 thanks Steve
Does this also work with fixing a shank
Yes good chance.
I have been stuck to such an extent that shank the ball. Thinking about quitting the game. Will give this a try though.
Usually I see a lot of early extension and big hand spans in those cases. I hope you will report back.
@@Inmotion70 Figured it out. Hands closer to the body club head always out first half of the back swing. Works like a charm. :)
How do you not pop the ball up
If you are popping it up you are swinging too steeply downwards into the ball.
@@Inmotion70 thank you

To be fair….being ‘stuck’ is a sequence of events. Not one. So not as easy to fix as one would believe. It’s a by-product of several things.
This drill fixes all of them. Simply doesn't allow that sequence to occur.
Just show me how your suppose to hit it
Thank you for continuing to make content for those of us too far inside to out/ stuck. I’m convinced there’s just as many of us who struggle with too inside out as there are slicers/over the top swingers
A lot of single digits for sure.
You the man! Going to work on that. Thank you!!!
Jim Furyk used to be 'tight in' as well...that low hands look
Yeah he was a straight hitter also
You are some kind of freaking genius. You gave me my face-to-path back in one swing! I didn’t even watch the video… I just listened to it in the car. Once you mentioned the distance of the hands from the thighs I thought “wait… this guy seems to understand”. Thank you!!!!!!
I had to put my right foot eight inches behind me in my driving stands, to stop my fade or more like my wicked slice. (Loss an avg of 30yrds ) Thank you, I see why I was doing this. I haven't hit a ball yet but I bet this drill and closer swing should work. Thanks Steve
Mr Pratt you have created a gem with this video. I have struggled with "stuck" for a long time and after about 20 swings, concentrating on hand path, I nailed it. So far, I have stuck with the 60 degree to groove this technique but I have no doubt it will work the same. This instruction actually benefits other movements in the swing and I encourage everyone to give this your full attention. Thank you very much.
Yeah keep building up to bigger clubs and bigger swings. It will be a grind for sure.
Thanks for the video. On downswing The hands close to both legs, pulling hips back in combination to upper arm against lead pec on takeaway had helped in my consistency immensely
Very good teaching - an eyeopener for me -thank U so much for this video.
Sir, I am confused about hand span rule vs clearing hips. Which one occurs first? If i clear my hips first then i can not performed the second hand span because hips are already cleared.
This is exactly what I needed. Drove myself crazy trying to figure out what was wrong with my swing. I was flipping the club just to hit it strait ish. Thanks again for the lessons
It is really hard to get unstuck. You might have to go slow and easy with a 9 iron as it will feel like you're going to whiff or bury it in the ground.
@@Inmotion70 I was able to fix it in my garage just by moving my hands closer to my body. It also put me in the correct posture as well.
This is interesting. But I prefer not thinking technically, but by images, like sport scientists Chris Riddoch is recommending. I take the image of the skipping a stone throw out position or the left hand frisbee throwing, not to get stuck.
I think you are referring to Mike Austin saying to maintain the 7 of the left lead shoulder and arm against the chest until post impact from the ball. Correct? Cheers 👍⛳️😃🥂
I was told I may have this problem. Would this still apply to the driver swing?
Hogan
Brilliant!!
Super - great demo Steve - will try today :)
Are you able to throw the clubhead at the ball with this drill?...the throwing motion that you advocate gives me the most distance I've ever had and it's easy
Yes you start throwing long before you get to the headcover.
Works like a dream. Best tip in GOLF!
I have never seen this explained so well. Thanks Mr Pratt. Tried this yesterday (first time out in Canada this spring) with surprisingly good results. Could never understand why my hands were so high on through swing. Did tend to pull a few shots. This should help with over the top as well.
Congratulations on 100k subs, and thanks for your videos!
Can’t wait to try this Steve, thanks a bunch!
This has been my problem. Thanks Steve!
Another excellent video. Thank you!
I'll try the drill - but I have to ask, how can a short club (wedge) have the same hand path as that of a long club (driver)? Essentially, the longer club will automatically require the player to stand farther from the ball - hence, your hands will be farther from your body already.
Hands should be the same distance from the body on all clubs. Feet will be farther though!
Hey Steve does this action not involve any release or is it non manipulation thru impact?
You still want to throw the crap out of the clubhead but you won't have to put any pressure to twist the shaft.
Brilliant
Hope this works. It is a bit crazy how you can get two flavors of stuck. The push or the duckish hook. Just another feature of the insanity of golf. You hit the big push and then hit some duck hooks and think wow I am all over the place. Yet the root cause is the same.
You can start with this drill. You might hit some pull hooks at first but then start releasing the right hand more 'under' with the face open. Keep me updated.
This is your best work. And that's saying something.
Two questions, Does this drill work with a teed up driver? Lastly, where is the head cover in relation to your right hip? Is it pointing at your right hip, or is it outside the hip slightly? Face on view would show it better I think. Anyway, great lesson Steve, I can't wait to practice this move. Thanks so much.
Will cover this drill again in a near future video. I have it even with my right hip bone.
i believe you may be under "blaming" the trail foot and the lifting of said heal. i have fought stuck all my life and always a lift of the heal sets my right hip out of whack. early extending and or getting stuck resulting. oddly, i still get stuck mostly with short irons and wedges all the time
This drill doesn't let you do that.
Beautiful swing! Love this drill. Can you tell us more about your weight transition; any swing thoughts? Thanks again!
Swinging inside the pad really helps define the pivot here. It doesn't allow any extension or bad footwork. Just trying to shift and rotate the hips and chest.
Man Steve, that makes so much sense. I’ve seen some of these ideas mentioned, but never put together from that perspective on getting stuck. I’ve been trying to get my arms out in front of me and it just seems physically impossible. Pretty sure this is why. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Love the hand span rule. So simple to work on doing hip high to hip high swings 👌
To me it feels like scrape the right thigh low, then plant the handle into the inside left thigh and scrape it around the thigh.
Can’t wait to try this! Another check point I can practice at home. Thx!!
Thank you so much for this video! I watched it before my last round and your drill and how you explained tipping really helped my drive out
Great to hear!
Well everything you're saying is true I think it only applies to like the top 2% of the golfers out there most people are not too shallow they're not shallow enough
This drill gets you shallow too. Left arm away makes you steeper and taller.
thankyou steve! very helpful
This makes a lot of sense. I do like the way the club releases, and exits low on follow through. This is the opposite of what I do, but I’ve been looking to do something different for a while.😂. This could be it!! About 20 years ago I was scratch, getting a lesson/month, and hitting 150-200 balls/day. One of the things I remember my instructor telling me was to feel like I was sticking the butt of the club in my right pocket on takeaway, and feel like butt of club went to left pocket through impact. That thought and intention should produce similar activity through impact. This is my swing thought for tomorrow!👍🏻. I’m definitely subscribing!
been waiting for this fix, thank you Steve!
Can you please use 'lead' and 'trail' instead of left and right?
Please Note …. The best way to practice this at the office is when the boss is out 🤣🤣🏌🏻♂️👌🏻 great tips and vid 🇬🇧🇬🇧
