George Gankas demonstrates how to use the G Slot and Form Rotator training aids to achieve a shallow club path and proper forearm rotation. The video focuses on achieving external shoulder rotation in the downswing and maintaining clubface control through wrist flexion. Johnny Ruiz demonstrates various timing drills to help golfers find their ideal slotting feel during the transition.
External shoulder rotation is key to 'slotting' the club correctly during the downswing.
The 'form roll' (forearm rotation) must be paired with wrist flexion or a strong grip to prevent the clubface from opening.
Shallowing the club means getting the shaft perpendicular to the back line, not getting the club stuck 'under' the plane.
Different players may 'pop' their shoulder into the slot at different times—from P2 to the top of the transition.
Maintain a stable lead shoulder to prevent 'sliding' under the plane which leads to blocks and hooks.
