The RIDICULOUS Easy Way To Stay Down In Your Golf Swing
PGA Fellow Professional Alistair Davies explains how to maintain posture and prevent early extension during the downswing. He breaks down common setup posture flaws, introduces the 'trail ear to the ball' mental image, and demonstrates the Stand-Up Drill and Bowler Drill to train side tilt and impact compression.
Set posture correctly at setup by hinging from the hips with straight legs, flexing knees, bumping hips slightly toward target, and pulling the chin in.
Feel your trail ear turning down toward the golf ball ('head on a pillow') through impact to prevent lifting up early.
Practice the Stand-Up Drill by starting tall and dropping down into side tilt on the downswing.
Use the Bowler Drill by dragging the trail foot back during the downswing to open pelvis space and increase lateral spine tilt.
