Steve, in your opinion, at what point should the right elbow start to break on the backswing? I reckon at about eight o clock position. Any earlier and the club will go on an inside path causing all sorts of problems. Also having watched your clip on the grip I have switched from an interlocking to an overlapping grip. My right hand tended to be dominant causing me to hit at the ball and have no release. Its a difficult change after 7 years of interlock but I can see good results already. Thanks

RdSoxFan618;On the driver, the ball should be aligned with you left heal. As you go to the irons you should be inside the left heal.(2)Your left arm are should naturally bend;right arm relitively straight!(3)The plane of the swing should be just above the shoulder blades..not below or even..somewhere toward the upper part of the shoulders. Remember..keep your head and feet still..in other words-don’t do the up and down and up again motion!! Keep the club head low and square-first few inches!!

This is basically what I have been trying to convey. Don’t get flippy with the hands.Try to take it away in ONE piece and square(to the ball) for the first several inches(about a foot to 16 inches or so. This allows you to get square at the top!!

Hi Steve, great video. I went to the range and tried this out yesterday, and I was very much hitting it straighter. I just have a few questions:

1) I was hitting VERY low trajectory shots. Should I move my stance back (move the ball up?)

2) What happens after the takeaway? I took it as you bend your left arm in? (I’m a lefty, right arm for you I believe)

3) What is the correct plane? You could be bringing the club up at too high or you could be bringing the club up too low.

Thanks

It is imperative that on your driver your swing plane is low and flat on the takeaway. The wrists will naturally hinge on the backswing and this promotes the sweeping motion on the downswing. This lesson does a great job in teaching the first motion to ensure a successful swing. The steeper the swing with the driver on the takeaway the greater chance the golfer will slice the shot. 30 minutes on the range after watching this video my slice is gone and I am hitting the ball 240 again. Thanks!!!

I have had a number of lessons to cure my inside/over the top swing but nothing has got my backswing into the correct path until I found your video! Less is more! you are a very natural, informative teacher, thanks
