I'm going to tell you upfront that when I say shallow your downswing in this video, I'm not talking about it in the traditional sense where we talk about a plane shift during the downswing. I’m talking about is shallowing your downswing in terms of your angle of attack - how wide your circle is, how much down you hit on the golf ball, and how the club gets delivered to the ball.

I could deliver the club to the ball in a very vertical fashion, so the club would come from fairly high up and work really down narrow on the golf ball. That would be like If you were to imagine a “v” sort of shape, very up, very down and back up. I could also have more of a u shape, which would be the club head working down into the golf ball on a wider circle, lower to the ground earlier, flatter bottom of the arc.

If we’re looking for better strike and more consistent ball patterns, I want you guys to have more of a wide circle and a shallow angle of attack. When you do this, you’ll have a nice shallow divot vs. a deep divot pattern.

The slower your speed is the more this applies to you. If you have less speed, the more you hit down, you're in trouble because you can't manage that dynamic loft. And even if you have a lot of speed, with a wider circle, you're going to notice your miss patterns being a lot better.

I'm going to show you a couple of my main drills. I'm also going to show you some clips with how I used these drills with my student Nick as an example.

Drill #1:
I’ll use a wood or hybrid head cover because it's not as high. I only have it about an inch off the ground. I put it typically about a grip and a half to two grips in front of the golf ball. Start with sand wedge shots - maybe 50 yard, half swings- and work your way up. The goal here is to get the club head working into the ball on a wider arc, shallower to the ground, clipping the ball off the ground and with tiny little divots. If I get the club head working up past impact higher than normal, it's going to increase my odds of having the club head work down to the ball nice and shallow.

Drill #2:
There is no way you cannot get shallow if you do this and set it up correctly. The purpose of this drill is for you to have an object that's behind you about, let's call it a foot and a half. I use an alignment rod stuck into the ground. I also use an alignment rod and a range bucket to set this up. I need to have the stick positioned low enough to the ground that I have to feel the club head working towards the ground and getting shallow sooner. It’s designed so when I swing the club under the stick, I can get a visual of the club working lower to the ground sooner instead of being more vertical. It’s also designed to get the club head working from low and inside.

Drill #3:
This is one of the best feedback stations for swing direction during the downswing. This is the same drill we’ve used in a lot of other videos – and will continue to use in videos – because it works. You can see the comprehensive set-up of this drill in our How To Hit A Draw Video https://youtu.be/3ADaBG1uQIU

A little bit of a different thought process here - more about the angle of attack, less about the plane shift. These are just three different ways to do the same thing. Figure out which one you like the best and what gives you the best results, and then go with that.

Even if your downswing pattern is not shallow in terms of the plane and even if it's a little bit more in front of you, if get this part right with the the bottom of the circle wide and not so steep you can still hit really solid functional shots.
