The Shallow Swing Secret Tour Pros Don't Talk About

PGA Instructor Giles Gill reveals a simple swing thought to shallow the golf club and improve downswing sequencing by letting the arms drop before turning. He explains how increasing early takeaway hand speed creates time in transition, and demonstrates how moving the hands down and across prevents casting and triggers natural hip rotation.

• Increase hand speed early in the takeaway near belly-button height so you can coast into transition.
• Feel the arms drop down vertically before starting active body rotation to prevent an over-the-top path.
• Guide your hands down and across toward the ball line to avoid casting and promote natural shaft lean at impact.
