Shallowing is Killing Your Power | Jimmy Ballard

Golf instructor Jimmy Ballard explains why intentionally shallowing the club in the downswing strips power and consistency from your swing. Ballard demonstrates how keeping the arms connected to body rotation allows the clubhead to naturally spring through impact for maximum power.

• Forcing a shallow downswing disconnects the arms from the body rotation.
• True power comes from the body driving and swinging the arms in full connection.
• When connected, the club shaft springs naturally through impact without hand manipulation or flipping.
