30+ Yards MORE! The SLING SHOT Golf Swing

Alex Elliott introduces the 'Slingshot' golf swing, a three-level system designed to add significant distance by improving backswing depth and sequencing. The method focuses on initiating the swing with the rib cage, achieving a high lead-arm position, and maintaining a flat lead wrist for a powerful, effortless draw.

• Initiate the takeaway with rib cage rotation rather than lifting the arms to create a 'core' move.
• Achieve depth by ensuring the lead arm moves above the chest once the hands pass hip height.
• The trail palm should face the sky at the top ('holding a tray') to promote a square-to-closed clubface.
• Use the clock-face visualization (6:00 to 11:30) to master the timing and sequencing of the backswing.
• Fixing backswing depth and structure often resolves downswing path issues automatically.
