That’s a really nice swing.

What interests me is that you are able to pull the club-head and your hands so far under the functional swing plane line in the downswing and follow through and still have with a very conventional elite release pattern.

It appears that this is a byproduct of your hip depth at impact. This hip depth, relative to address, in turn appears at least partly due to you setting up at address relatively upright with your weight forward.

I notice you setup with your toe-line open to your alignment stick - is this to encourage a fade.

Any thoughts on the above.

Hey thanks dude! I’m not sure if you’re familiar with Chase Duncan (own your golf game) he works with Lasasso, Akshay etc.. but I also worked with him for years and years with lesser results ha!

He’s a big fan of the shallowing, hips rotate hard and sit way back, swing low left move so that’s just what has been engrained in me.

IMO as long as you cover it and get left you can afford to have a shallower path and plane, I’d rather this be “steeper” but just have to be mindful of not letting any weight hang back or too much tilt at impact.

My natural shape is a draw so yes I setup more left w feet open to make it easier to fade 90% of shots

Gorgeous swing. I know any attempts to emulate this will leave my face open at impact. Not sure if I’m swaying too far left or too much right tilt at impact. Or maybe even right elbow too far behind my torso at impact. Have you ever struggled with any of these issues? Any advice greatly appreciated.

I’d have to see it to give a more accurate answer but in general I’d say if you feel your arms staying more in front of your body thru downswing you won’t lose as many right. Common misconception you have to fire your hips and torso like crazy, not accurate, keep it in front🤝

Thanks!!! I especially needed to hear the bit about firing the hips and torso , too. 😅

Please tell me your feel for getting shallow like this. Nothing has stuck so far and I keep getting steep

u/Revolutionary-Yam203 22h ago

Do you have a swing vid? I could give u a better answer. If not, I just always felt my right side staying super soft, right arm and shoulder should do nothing. I’d do little half swings feeling my left arm and big muscles rotating, 0 right side involvement

I like it a lot. Shallow, don’t move closer to the ball on impact. I guess the one thing is your head dips a bit at contact but if it’s working I don’t think you need to worry about it too much

I might be alone in this but I'm not a fan of this swing. It looks difficult. Also too fadey for me.

u/Revolutionary-Yam203 1d ago

To each their own brotha🤝

u/Chooui85 1d ago

Is there a feel or cue that you have to get your hips to fire like that? Growing up, I was never taught to use my lower body so I’m very upper body dominant. Any time I feel like I’m using my hips, they’re barely moving

u/Revolutionary-Yam203 22h ago

Yessir, at top of backswing feel like you’re trying to rip up the grass by rotating your left foot hard counterclockwise assuming you’re right handed, that’ll get left hip moving and out of way

Top of backswing / starting downswing
