Ryan
thank you so much. I'm 62 and have been a self taught golfer for 52 years. I play to about a 4 handicap but this is the first time anyone has ever explained depth with such clarity and logic. This will definitely help my game!
Don't worry about the straight shots. Golf humbles everyone, no exceptions. lol

Well where has this info been my entire life!??? I have probably around 900, 000, 000 hours of YouTube golf videos under my belt but nobody has ever explained depth like this that I have heard before. Self taught single digit handicapper now. Lol I don't try to apply all of those hours into my own swing. Just love learning and having the knowledge. Thanks for this!

Nicely & simply explained - thanks for sharing ! (noted your comment that you wish you knew this 10 years ago - wow! (PS the screen cap showing JT steep and Rory "deep" was what made me click)

[johnpritchard]

I enjoyed that, Ryan. Thanks for the clear explanation.👍

[ChristopherHood-gugl]

Thanks for not editing out the "bad shoots" makes it more... real for us

[peterlegeh]

This was excellent, and very timely for me. My teacher just told me the other day I need more depth, and I now realize I probably misconstrued what he said. This was very clear. And, I love your mishits. Just had a very frustrating day on the range myself yesterday. Perhaps my club might have slipped out of my hand at one point. 😂

[lukewanless]

Great video. Took this to the range and worked great.

[pragmaticman]

Only thing I would say is that depth is based not on where butt of club is ‘pointing’ as much as what foot part it is ‘over’

[tomtom]

Great point.
I am currently struggling with strong draws and, certainly my swing depth is too far behind.

[Junmbolino]

With the driver one shot i came from the inside and the other from the outside. Good turn, and keep the lead arm more to the chest should fix this. Tx!

[CHIVie]

Don’t take this as schadenfreude please, but it is a relief to see that everyone has off days. Your struggles on the range resonated with me! 😂 I’m no strangerto throwing a club on the range out of pure frustration 😬

[michaelogleby]

Or a shank one of the two... That killed me 😂. Brilliant video though mate. Very informative

[WALTERMITTIE]

Can depth be thought of as a function of how parallel the shaft is to the shoulder inclination at the top of the backswing. I notice in your down the line views in your swings, If the club shaft is more vertical at the top of the backswing it tends to be on a plane that ends on the toe line and when flatter ie parallel to the shoulder inclination it is closer to the heel? So would it be applicable to try and feel that the shaft aligns with the shoulder inclination for a draw and more upright for a fade. Then you don't have to think about degree of trunk rotation which I suggest is difficult to quantify. It would happen more subconsciously. I think this would also fit with Pete Cowan's idea of loading the lead shoulder to suit the intended shot. I think he means that the degree of internal rotation of the shoulder at the top of the back swing sets the shaft plane i.e. you have less internal rotation of the lead shoulder for a fade and more for a draw.

[Duane]

Awesome video. Can you explain why it's "bad, " when creating depth, to take the club inside on the takeaway?

[alexdavismittp]

The butt of the club isn’t pointing at the trail heel.. it’s directly over the trail heel.

[flippperboy]

Thanks, I thought depth was absolute to where the butt of the club had to go to the heel at all times

[j.d.]

Shanks happen from hands being thrust towards ball too much. Keep hand path close to toe line to avoid heel strikes.

[rickmiller]

Well they ALL turn a lot... Which led me to think about that further. Wouldn't it possibly be where they are pivoting around? Example Left hip would make more right hip depth.. Centered medium.. Right hip least depth..

[jordanelmquist]

Aren’t you just effectively just changing your plane? For consistency wouldn’t it be more effective to find a consistent “depth” for the individual (we aren’t all equal as you showed examples of different players) and adjust the feet/ path like all the good players do for the shot shape they desire?

[RJ_S_]

nah, turn on its on doesn't affect depth, , , the relationship between turn and lift does.... if you turn less but lift less, you are bellow plane. JT is clearly lifting way more than Rory... the swing is way to dynamic for one piece to affect a precise outcome... how much of that height you burn early in the down will also affect if your under on or over... Just my opinion..
