This Easy Stick Trick Fixes Your Golf Swing Fast! feat. @kraftygolf_

Cordie Walker and @kraftygolf_ demonstrate a simple 'stick trick' to fix a flat backswing and improve club shallowing. By using an alignment stick to trace the lead leg during the takeaway, golfers can ensure the club stays on the correct plane for a more effective transition.

• Place an alignment stick on the lead side of the club so it runs down your lead leg at setup.
• During the takeaway, keep the stick in contact with your lead leg and knee as long as possible.
• If the stick moves away from the knee too early, the backswing is likely becoming too flat.
• At the end of the move, the stick should point between the ball line and your toe line.
• Maintaining this path creates the necessary space to shallow the club properly during the transition.
