This is great instruction that really worked for me. I’m 81 and the younger guys I play with (they’re in their 70s) are scratching their heads asking what I have been doing? What I particularly like about Adam’s instruction is that he doesn’t tie you up with details like you have to put your fingers here kind of instruction but rather gets you to feel what he is talking about. This really worked with driver for me. Thanks Adam!

Hi from Korea! It still baffles me how this channel's subscription count is not in the millions. Easily the best golf tutorial channel on KZbin! Love the succinct and simple explanations! I also admire Adam for taking the time out of what I presume to be his very busy schedule to reply to all comments! Absolute Legend! Just one quick question. I find that there is a delay in my shoulder rotation after my hip rotation during my downswing, which makes me push/slice the ball on impact. Is it a weak core or is there a way to fix this? Many thanks!
@Scratchgolfacademy
@Scratchgolfacademy 5 жыл бұрын
Aram, Thanks, and glad you like the channel. Regards your swing, there should be a momentary delay after the hips start forward and before the shoulders get going. My guess is you are nut decelerating both near impact, which would cause energy to transfer to the club, which would help club snap closed. Hope this helps. Best, Adam

I changed my backswing via the bucket drill (don’t dump it over) drill from one of your other videos along with tipping my left hand thumb back at the top and that helped me shallow out a lot. Had to roll my left hand down on the follow through (hitting irons) to close the face but it created a ton of consistency for me.

Very good explanation about shallowing the club. I've been practicing shallowing for almost a year now and anytime anyone talks about it I want to know everyones take. All shallowing instructional videos have different way to demonstrate and explain how to get there. When I 1st started to shallow my club I thought it was such a complex swing. But I stuck with it and am slowly getting there quite positively. Thanks for putting this up.

Excellent drills and suggestions. However, there is one consequence of the "shallowing out" that I hope you might address... I've previously worked on both shallowing out my downswing and working to 'come from the inside' (without getting 'stuck'). And just as your driver example was "a little off the heel", I suddenly had a serious bout of the dreaded Sh*nks! (even with short irons!) It was completely unconscious and I had to seriously work on getting my weight back and a variety of helpful drills, but ultimately only 'cured' them (meaning I was again able to swing without fear of clanging the hosel) by 'reverticalizing' my swing. I WANT a shallower swing, but until I can get there without risking the "horrors", I'm hesitant. Do you have any helpful suggestions? [To further explain... in a vertical swing path, the extra momentum of a full swing carries my clubhead downward (bigger divot, ala Parnevik) but I can compensate by ensuring I'm "through the ball" at the bottom; with a flatter swing, that extra momentum carries my clubhead slightly horizontal (across the ball) bringing the hosel into the ball. It feels weird to address the ball at the 'toe'... so, suggestions are welcome!]

I have a question about why the golfer cannot simply use a shallower backswing in the first place, rather then shallowing the club at the beginning of the downswing as you have demonstrated. (I am still a novice golfer, so I hope you don't mind if I ask a question that may be more obvious to experienced players.)

Olaf, As Rory showed in the video, staying basically on one plane can be done. That said, most gofers go too flat early in the backswing, almost always influencing club to steepen coming down. Shallowing the club is pretty natural when the motion is athletic, baseball would be a good example. Hope this helps. Best, Adam

Shallowing requires the ability do drop the club behind you under the plane from the top on the downswing. It requires flexibility and decent range of motion. Those who can’t shallow opt for a flatter takeaway and delivery.

I've never tried swallowing my clubs ever. I hit almost every ball 250 plus yards everytime with a draw with my driver. Will swallowing my swing increase my distance and straighten it out?
