ckay thank you for this. Gonna find some range time this week and practice just this
played again today and got another video of that similar miss
It’s almost impossible to hit the ball consistently from this position
Jaybananapantsarthur lol I hear that.
is this where I should stop?
This drill, for all its simplicity, is in my opinion the greatest 8 minutes of free advice on the internet. The section between approx 2:32 and 3:06 in particular. But the entire video as a drill with a short iron is great.

Jaybananapantsarthur I've been practicing this in my room with a mirror behind me and holy shit! it simplifies things so much. I cannot wait to get out on the range
Put a towel under both armpits across chest and work on keeping body connected by hitting chip 7-8 irons. Hard to shallow club when you are throwing the arms instead of pivoting.
IToldAlthea 👍 don't give up on it. sometimes I go to the range and 75% of my shots are that drill with 7i through PW .
@Jaybananapantsarthur I guess it’s a little better? It’s so much easier to practice in front of a mirror but when there’s a ball in front of you...
definitely releasing my right elbow isn’t helping. The play is to kind of keep it tucked and rotate through, no?
How do you feel about it more importantly? Really good job with swing not overrunning your turn. Still a little long in the backswing (especially if doing this as a drill). First move down is still a bit over the top versus shallowing but that for another say. But much better IMO but I also know nothing so there is that. 😂
Jaybananapantsarthur I feel pretty good about that one. I guess I want to fix everything in one bout but obviously that isn’t gonna happen.
I was really trying to shorten the backswing but when I flex my wrist it’s hard for it to not go far back. That will be the main focus of next time out
If you’re consistently making contact that solid you’re making awesome progress.
ckay I wish I could tell ya yes. But no it wasn’t consistently like this 😂
IToldAlthea Good. You should feel good about it because going from where it was to the latest video is a huge change, good job!
IToldAlthea Looking good. Keep up the practice. I wish I had your dedication!
Found another vid. This with 8i

TFixer5 man, to be 20 again.
been working
IToldAlthea Looking good, man! One thing I heard Gankas say and helped visualize/feel shallowing out was at the top of the turn, take your R elbow and slide it in front of your chest towards your L elbow as the initiator of the downswing. That may help keeping your first move from being over the top. Keep up the good work!
it’s like he’s speaking to you bro.
aharrelson358 love this! Will report on how it works
