Your Downswing Is STEEP Because You Do THIS in the Backswing ❌
Athletic Motion Golf explains why a steep downswing is often a result of poor synchronization during the backswing. By using a simple 'Club on Shoulder' drill, golfers can learn to blend their body turn with the correct amount of arm lift, ensuring the club stays on a shallow, playable path.
A steep downswing path is frequently caused by errors in the backswing rather than the downswing itself.
The 'Club on Shoulder' drill helps synchronize the body's pivot with the arms moving 'up and away.'
Avoid the common amateur mistake of 'late lifting,' where you turn fully before lifting the arms.
Correct arm lift involves the elbow gradually folding and moving away from the torso during the turn.
