Stop Swinging Steep and Over the Top!

Most of the golfers I work with as private clients aren’t driving the ball as far as they want. They’d love to make the game more fun – and keep it fun as they grow older. I’ve got tons of students in their 70’s!

Almost every one of them, and lots of my online members too, came to me with the same issue. They swing their arms steep and over the top. Here’s an perfect example:

Here’s a strong athletic guy, trying to enjoy this gorgeous lush golf course, and having his day ruined by the angle of his arms coming down into the ball.

I feel for you man…I really do.

So what will likely happen from here? Well he’s going to swing outside-to-in, with a downwards angle of attack. Because the shaft is too vertical, it’s likely that the head falls behind late, keeping the face open and the heel leading into the ball.

He’s going to hit low heely pulls, slices, and may even hit ground balls. Even if the ball gets hit well, the distance won’t be desirable because of the low launch high spin combo.

Now consider where the shaft is in this photo. It’s riding my right forearm. My left arm is just one hand span from my right thigh. I’m going to strike the ball very shallow (think sweeping like a broom rather than chopping), and from inside to out. And because the shaft is laying down so much, the clubhead will react by getting whipped around to square the face for hook spin.

And my rear end is BACK.

This shot will be a high draw. Perfect shape for hitting with maximum distance efficiency on a driver! Here’s another example:

In a couple more frames his shaft will be riding his forearm. Arms are much tighter to his body and on the inside.
