Do you struggle with creating too much lag in your golf swing? I'm Meredith Kirk, LPGA Class A teaching professional, and today I'm going to show you how to shallow out your golf swing.
So, if you're creating too much drag in your golf swing, I want you to learn how to shallow out a little bit. But let me show you what creating too much drag actually looks like. So I'm going to take the club to the top here. Now what happens is when you create too much drag and you have that steep angle of descent, the butt of the club, your hands are taking the butt of the club to the ground and it looks like this. You don't want that. Okay? So what you want to feel is less drag and you want to actually throw the club at the ball. So, you're throwing the club. You are not getting that butt of the club with your hands and driving it down. Okay. So, we need to shallow out your swing a little bit. So, here's a simple drill. As you can see, I have a ball right here. I'm going to go ahead and set up to it, but I'm going to step behind a little bit. I'm actually not going to hit the ball. So, I'm going to take the club to the top here, and all I'm going to think about is throwing the club past the ball. So, it's going to look like this. And I'm going to motion out about five times. throwing the club past the ball, creating that feeling. That's how you shallow out. So, if your angle of descent is way too steep, and a symptom of that is if you're hitting the ground behind the ball. Okay, that's a symptom of a steep angle of descent. That's creating too much drag. So, now I'm going to step up to the ball here. And the only thought that I'm going to have is I'm going to throw the club past the ball while I'm actually hitting the ball. And watch the great contact that I get with the ball doing this. And I'm nice and shallowed out.
That felt really good. So, that is a simple golf drill to help you shallow out your swing. If you like this golf tip, like, subscribe, and go check out our previous golf tip videos. Now, the next one that we have for you is going to be another game changer.
