This SECRET Drill FIXED My Downswing!

[SDGolfGuy]

For those of you that struggle with over the top like I did, this drill as the last part of your practice swing on the course helps so much. Adam is amazing.

This is exactly my issue. And it always leads to a slice. Great lesson. I’ll have to put it to practice.

Hey Adam, Happy TGiving! Loving this series with Johnny O. Really good stuff. I recently figured out the pushing the beachball feel by over-relaxing my right hand (not letting it pull the club up at all). The end result is the good deep turn and, because not feeling the right hand pull, the right elbow stays very relaxed and in. From the top letting the right hand join in the ride I finally get the hands turning the body on the way down as opposed to the shoulders dragging my hands. I know you are not a super fan of the impact bags, but I made one out of towels and a bag just to see if it triggered anything in my feeble brain and it did help me with getting my hands going for some reason. I don't even try to hit it very hard, just let that be my mental target for where all my anger :) goes. Simple swing thought is 'push with left shoulder all the way to the top - smash the bag' Somehow that seems to be working for me. Off to Orlando for a week (for work but mixing in as much golf as I can), so will add a video of progress to the Master Class when I get back. Keep up these awesome videos!

I haven't seen my swing on camera so I'm not entirely sure how my sequencing on the downswing actually is, but for me to get clean consistent ball striking I need to feel like my arms are leading the downswing if that makes sense. Again, feel and real are very different so even though this may be my feeling, in reality it may not be the case.

What do you say right before @3:30 before he interrupts? All body arms and hands…..

I tried this at the range and was shocked at how accurate I was, so I took it to the course yesterday and used this drill for all my shots (except for my driver) and shot a 77 (par was 71). I'm 71 and not sure why I wouldn't continue using this drill all the time. Straight is better than crooked and long. I didn't feel like I lost any distance. The trick for me was to fight my brain's urge to punch with the trail shoulder. If nothing else, it's a good drill. For me, I may look silly on the course, but hey, if it works, so what?

I have incorporated some of your stuff into my swing (hip bump, giving blood, skipping a rock) and have straightened out my shots, but honestly, my distance is not getting it done. What could I be missing, you think?

This is like 2 guys coca cola'd up in a back garden

If your game falls apart on the course you can literally just do this and you can hit fairways.

Can you do a video on speed? I am maxxed out turning as fast as I can into the ball, good contact, nice and straight but I feel like I have maxxed out my distances and it's not as far as I'd like.

I got nervous when I heard you say that Hogan’s book got it wrong…felt like lightning was about to strike someone 😬😂

[XX-zuot]

I just swing like this tbh happy to lose distance for more consistent straight shots

The most important part of this is the sentence ‘for someone that …’

[Tothemoonalice]

Jim venetos actually teaches that as a swing.

Love your tutorials Adam. I live in Australia and my dream is to be in a lesson with you. Hope to see you early March. You are amazing. I’ve gone from 22 to 10. Now for some lessons from you to get to scratch 🏌️‍♂️
