This Downswing Mistake Was Throwing His Entire Swing Out
In this lesson, Meandmygolf's Andy Proudman helps a student named Joon fix a common downswing synchronization issue. By moving the ball position forward and implementing drills like the narrow stance and 'forward and left' finish, Joon learns to stop his lower body from outracing his upper body, resulting in cleaner iron contact and higher trajectory.
Ball position too far back often causes the body to hang back to avoid hitting it too low and right.
Over-aggressive lower body movement can leave the upper body behind, leading to fat shots and inconsistent face angles.
The 'Forward and Left' feeling at the finish ensures the weight has successfully transferred to the lead side.
Narrowing your stance is an effective way to stabilize a lower body that slides or fires too early.
Posing at the finish for 2 seconds provides immediate feedback on your balance and weight distribution.
