Stuck in the Downswing? Do This Simple Drill

• Getting stuck is often caused by trying to tuck the trail elbow too far in front or driving the hands at the ball.
• The hands should move vertically down and slightly inward while the clubhead works out toward the ball.
• A split-hand grip helps maintain the clubhead outside the hands during the takeaway and transition.
• Tipping the shaft or feeling the clubhead 'pivot' over the hands prevents dragging the handle through impact.
• Proper hand path leads to more efficient compression and a more natural release without flipping.
