PGA Teaching Professional Bob Menzies provides a comprehensive live lesson for a left-handed student named Bill. The session focuses on correcting a steep, over-the-top swing path and fixing consistent thin and fat shots. Key techniques include the 'Over-Under' alignment rod drill, correcting ball position, and using swing donuts to improve backswing depth and speed.
Check your lead-hand knuckles at address; seeing two knuckles ensures a neutral, stable grip.
Avoid excessive forward shaft lean with mid-irons, as it can deloft the club too much and lead to low, smothered shots.
Use your shadow as a reference point to ensure your head doesn't sway laterally out of the 'circle' during the backswing.
The 'Over-Under' drill is highly effective for shallowing the club on the downswing for an inside attack path.
Practice making divots forward of the ball's original position to ensure you are compressing the ball correctly.
