The Downswing Move You’ll Wish You Learned Years Ago #golf #golflife #golfinstruction

PGA golf instructor Alex Elliott demonstrates a key downswing movement designed to stop golfers from casting and swinging over-the-top. By focusing on initiating transition with proper lower-body hip movement, golfers can shallow the club and create a consistent inside-out club path.

• Initiate the downswing sequence from the ground up using the hips rather than the hands.
• Clear the lead hip backward to create space for the arms and club to drop into place.
• Allow the club shaft to shallow naturally on the downswing to eliminate an over-the-top path.
• Maintain chest posture behind the ball at transition to encourage powerful impact positioning.
