Let the Club Fall then Throw that Club

Here is a good way to feel the club working more back in transition and how the body can react to that movement. Great feel, drill, idea for those that get to the top and come down too steep trying to hit the ball.

Once I discovered this feel, my contact improved dramatically. What was a surprise is when I realized how patient I have to be with the downswing to allow for the club to fall behind me. Thanks for describing this motion so clearly.

It took me 3 years of playing to finally experience this feel. It is ABSOLUTELY amazing and effortless. There is no conscious effort after the backswing. The feeling is the club just drops! Yesterday, I hit 300 yard bombs with this feel! Amazing!

I've watched 100's of videos. By far the best explanation of how the golf swing should feel. Thank you

No Joke- I’ve played on and off for ten years and practice all the time when I get into it.. I have had an Over the top move for years that was “unfixable” and it stops me from playing consistent golf. This move changed my entire swing. I found it before I found this video but this move is the best. You do have to be very patient at transition and not fire until you feel the head drop under the plane..

Thank you for this simple explanation. I am struggling with over the top swing so much so I almost wanted to quit trying to play. I came back to golf after an injury and shot 86 then it all went downhill for me.

This video needs to be exponentially more popular. Terrific.

This is the best explanation of this motion that I have ever seen and I have taken several lessons.

Once the basics of setup and takeaway and general balance are learned, this concept of letting the club drop to start the downswing is paramount to getting better at golf.

The best explanation of how the club should behave from the top. Awesome instruction.

The biggest thing that helped my swing was having a light grip pressure. This allows the club to naturally fall and rotate after impact. When I had a tight grip I was manipulating the club causing me to swing the club which created an over the top path. The best advice I think anyone can get to really understand the golf swing is to allow the club to do all of the work. That club is designed to naturally fall and rotate into impact if you allow it.

One of the best drills ever. Thank you!

[LionelMessi-cttu]

Gonna need more that 14 clubs to get round with this training!

[johnfeilmeier]

This is a super underrated part of the golf swing! Great video.

[otiskirkwood]

Just confirmed what I am feeling when I'm hitting it good. Thanks!

[liamtownson]

Im new to golf and ive noticed now after seeing this video that im gripping the club way to tight and trying to throw my arms to the golf ball i dont come over the top but i think this video has made me realise you dont have to grip the club really tight and fire the club at the ball, next time i go out im going to try and let the club fall to the ball see if it helps me out

[Demarini]

The guys at the clubhouse kept getting pissed at me when I threw my clubs out on the range. Are there any ranges that are okay with throwing clubs out there?

[robertcourt]

The reason, I think, why this is so difficult for most people is because it feels so effortless and our subconscious believes to hit it far we need to put effort in.

[bovi]

I've returned to this wonderful video again, though I've yet to be able to execute this. I believe this portion is fundamental, such that it will even help get the proper backswing because it gives the body the goal. Is there any way to expand on this topic? more feels, things to look out for etc? living in the city, no real place I can throw a club, don't even have grass ranges. thanks

[johnt]

My main swing thought it to throw the club down the target line. But I like to throw it from a high position. If I drop the club then throw it I tend to hit the ground too early. So maybe what feels like throwing from a high position is not really happening and I am actually shallowing the club some before I throw it. I hope.

So, I haven't really been able to get this feel on anything other than my wedges.. when I get the feel with wedges, I turn through, divot is straight as in arrow.. would this be the same feel almost through the entire bag?
