How to Shallow Your Golf Swing

The #2 teacher in the world joins us today!

Grant, I really appreciate your teaching points. Loved them back when you were with Good Good and glad you’re keeping them going here. You have a knack for teaching 😁

Hi Grant / Chris, had an hour pre round today and even though my lessons have been going really well, this explanation, and the feels re the logo down etc resulted in a really good round of golf, so good off the tee, pretty much scratch golf, and more importantly being a lot longer with all clubs , particularly driver, so thank you so much, amazing stuff ❤

That was a great instructional video for me, I’ve always heard swing to right, but when he said swing to right but allow hands to go left that set of bells in my mind and made so much sense. Where I’ve always swung to right it hit straight right

My coach drilled this into me with the wrists and closing the face by learning to swing the club left handed (im a righty) for a few weeks straight before allowing my right hand to get involved. His point was left hand controls the club face and the swing speed. Right is mostly torque. It was about another month of over drawing the ball before I found the right spot and gained consistency. That lull that you and FP talked about on the BDS podcast is real and this was the change that highlighted that the most.

I like how Chris is very straight forward with his lesson. I love it!

Really good stuff with the wrist angles. That was something that helped me a lot. The sensation I started trying recently with my driver was feeling like my dominant arm was throwing a side arm throw or skipping a rock. Improved my driving so much and I don’t slice the ball nearly as often.

Once I’m able to get in for some lessons and get more of the basics down, I really want to try this out a bit more! Thank you for this Grant

This is the best explanation of this concept I’ve come across so far. I’ve been playing about 1 year. I know I’m swinging outside - in and likely coming over the top. I’m athletic and can square it up most of the time but that’s no way to play long term. I’m early enough in my golf swing where I don’t think I have ingrained bad habits yet.

Your channel is gold Grant! thanks for sharing !

I was at the range tonight trying this very concept, so the feeling I had was the club was shallowing and I was getting much better contact, I'm going to keep working on this through the winter

Your videos have helped my game out so much already

Been working on this lately and it’s helping my game tremendously, this video came at the perfect time. Thanks grant and love the content.

Congrats...you are on a tear with these collabs.

I love the tip about the rolled-off lead wrist position creating the angle in the downswing! While I strike the ball pretty well for an amateur, I am anything but shallow with my swing. Practice tee, here I come! 🙂

I m an almost 50 year young hcp 8 golfer with 2 hips replaced and a lower back full of scars that has never played a round without pain. And still now I want to shallow my club and get a better contact and more distance 😅 If I can't get it going alone, I need some lesson with both of you🎉!

This is great as am usually focused on just shallowing the club but not shutting the face, OR I get too focused on shutting the face from the top and forget to shallow....watch me forget this when I go out on the first tee box haha. Great stuff!

Good nuggets here. A word of caution about lead arm adduction: PGA Tour players, measured on GEARS, do Not, pull their lead arm way across the chest and pin in. They(Tour Players) keep their hands more in front of the chest in the back swing. Excessive hand depth in the backswing will actually cause you to flip and early extend. If the arms drop straight down, while you rotate, the club will shallow without thinking about it.

This is what i have been trying to do for the past few weeks, this was the best timing on a video ever

The piece about the hands going left while the club head works right was an OHHHHH moment for me! I always had in my mind that an in to out swing path was the hands swinging out. Makes total sense now
