PGA instructors from Meandmygolf demonstrate how to shallow the downswing using a simple high tee drill. By teeing the ball at driver height and focusing on centered contact, golfers can eliminate steep, vertical paths and develop a more rounded swing for consistent high draws.
Tee the ball up at driver height even when practicing with irons to get feedback on swing path.
A steep downswing often results in the club going underneath the ball and hitting high on the clubface.
A rounded, shallower downswing is necessary to achieve centered contact from a high tee.
Aim to produce high draws when practicing this drill to confirm the correct swing plane.
Hovering the club slightly at setup can help align the clubhead with the high-teed ball.
