Fix Your Stuck Downswing FAST! (Split Grip Drill for Better Path & Face Control)👍🚀
Matt Baker explains how to fix a 'stuck' downswing where the club drops too far behind the body, leading to pushes and hooks. Using the Split Grip (Hockey) Drill, he demonstrates how to move the lead hand down and in while 'tipping' the clubhead back in front of the hands for superior path and face control.
Getting stuck occurs when the hands work out toward the ball while the clubhead drops behind the body.
The Split Grip Drill forces the lead arm to work down and in, preventing the 'stuck' feeling.
Tipping the shaft is a subtle movement that redirects clubhead momentum back toward the ball rather than behind the golfer.
A proper downswing path reduces the need to 'flip' the hands at impact, leading to a more stable clubface.
The goal is to have the clubhead in line with the hands at impact, not trailing behind them.
