LIVE Golf Lesson (& Jack Nicklaus & Barry Sanders stories)!
PGA Teaching Professional Bob Menzies provides a comprehensive live lesson for a student struggling with a steep, outside-in swing path. Menzies introduces the 'Over-Under' drill using a pool noodle to help the student shallow the club and attack from the inside. The video also features unique stories about Jack Nicklaus and NFL legend Barry Sanders' golf game.
The 'Face is King': Path is important, but a square clubface is the highest priority for shot control.
The Over-Under Rule: Aim to take the club back slightly above the shaft plane and bring it down slightly below it to ensure an inside-out path.
Avoid the 'Fan': Keep the leading edge matching your spine angle during the takeaway rather than fanning the face open.
Give yourself breathing room: Ensure you have about a 'softball' sized gap between your hands and body at setup for better arm clearance.
Shallow like a Pro: Imagine your swing making a 'question mark' loop—moving behind you at the transition to prevent the 'steep' over-the-top move.
