Just popped in to say this is the single best, and possibly only, youtube tip I've ever used that's had such a dramatic impact on my swing. It started by fixing my over-the-top driver issue. I knew I wasn't shallowing it, I had lessons pointing it out, but this drill is the only thing to actually correct it. I then applied it to my 3-wood and 3H which I THOUGHT I hit well but this ramped up the consistency. THEN I applied it down the irons and the consistency and compression improvements have been crazy good. It feels like I unlocked a little secret no one else knew because none of the instructors I tried ever fixed my swing plane issues like this single little drill. I was also compounding my issues by doing the elbow in and down thing which just jammed me up and forced me to slow my swing down to compensate. Awesome stuff.

Alex I watched this tip yesterday and as a lifelong slicer I did some of these swings at home and then headed out to my usual course. It was absolutely amazing, finally something that really worked! I was swinging easier and finally coming down in the slot and it changed everything. Drives were actually hitting the fairway and distance increased thus I knocked 7 strokes off of my 9 hole average. What a game changer..Thank you so much!!!

I do the other thing to shallow that you speak of throwing the club down behind you and it's effective most of the time ... but I just tried this swing feel combined with what I used to do. It actually feels way more natural the way you teach it!! great work brother you are doing an amazing job. I love all of your videos!

I recently started doing this with my driver. My primary focus at the top of my swing is to close the club face as much as I have ever closed it. That really sets off a chain reaction where my body rotates through the shot way more. It’s a great feeling and my driving accuracy has increase dramatically. I am having one major problem though. When I do this with my irons, I am not hitting all of my irons off the bottom of the club. I am thinning all my shots. Do you have any recommendations on how to fix this? Any help is appreciated!
