STOP 🛑 GETTING STUCK: Golf Swing drills to help you get unstuck in your downswing.

If you struggle making solid contact, it might come down to getting 'stuck' in your golf swing. VP of Instruction, Nick Clearwater, defines what 'getting stuck' really means and the different ways this can impact golfers- from the pro-level to amateurs. Nick also shares a couple of drills to improve your downswing which will help you avoid getting stuck and improve your overall contact.

Great definition of getting stuck and different possible solutions (four of them) on how to get unstuck seldom talked about elsewhere. Very helpful for those like myself who had no idea they had a problem of being stuck until I analyzed my swing using the criteria you set out for getting stuck. Certainly has improved my ball striking.

Best video I’ve seen explaining what getting stuck is and how to work on getting unstuck.

Helped me greatly - divots now are at the target - thanks

I just came across your channel. My 14 yr. old son has this problem, he fires his hips, club waaaay behind him, and sometimes bangs balls so far out to the right that we never find them. He's very flexible, and I was told that this is a common issue with youth golfers. Any suggestions for him? Love this video.

Nice, straightforward video. The real problem with most golfers, right here...getting stuck.

So in reviewing the video, I notice that you said "If you keep the lead arm at the same angle to your shoulders" when referring to the arm close to the chest issue. So with regard to Champ as mentioned previously he is obviously changing that angle by dropping the lead shoulder and dropping the chest early and therefore I agree with what you said completely. I had already noticed the weird release pattern with Walker's swing when I was studying it. I came to the same conclusion, that his arms were too close together with lead arm pinned to his chest on the way down and the club way open. Then you can see his head snap back through impact as he goes into arching his back to close the club face. Good observation!

Is Nick saying you need to pull your lead arm off your chest during the downswing and more out to the right of the target (for a LH golfer) and not keep it connected to your chest?

[smemoli]

So your saying don't clear your hips or shoulders on the downswing? doesn't that go against everything we are being told to do?

[timothypollock]

You've created a bit of a strawman with the arm close to the chest claim. Cameron Champ does hold or possibly decrease that angle for about 30 to 40 percent of the way down to the ball, especially with the driver. He does this by having a large hip turn on the backswing and a very slow rate of the lead arm crossing the chest going back (wide powerful turn). He then drops the the lead shoulder and the chest on the downswing with the clubhead falling behind the rotation of the upper body starting down. If you have rapid chest drop and lead shoulder drop at the very start of the downswing the angle of the lead arm steepens as it moves toward the ball and slides down the torso (arm drop) which means that the arm does not move towards the ball as fast and does not get far enough out to cause a problem especially if the arms started further from the body. After halfway back to the ball the left arm moves extremely rapidly away from the chest through impact and beyond. With the driver Champ starts the swing with the club further from his body which means the the effect described above is increased due to the flatter plane and the consequent greater flattening of the shaft as the clubhead falls behind the upper body producing amazing lag. I have studied this swing and have been able to copy and understand it (among many others) and I believe it is the most efficient swing for power in golf ( it has some drawbacks in other areas ).

I like to feel like I'm slinging a bucket of water down the fairway.

My biggest regret is not being a more passionate golfer.

[williamjenks]

I really didn't take advantage of my coach, dad or local courses. I wonder why I wasn't more serious about privacy because being private helps you as a golfer

[gnarkilleptic]

This video was impossibly complicated for no reason

[michaeldowning]

Way too complicated and contrary to what my Golftec coach has instructed me to do. Thanks, though!

[williamjenks]

Be respectful dont do anything that to other people or things that you don't want to be done.

[williamjenks]

Don't talk to others about golf. Make your own decisions on how you are gonna win games.
