My Biggest Golf Swing Discovery in 30+ Years of Coaching!

PGA-certified instructor Steve Pratt shares his #1 swing discovery from over 30 years of coaching: how torso positioning dictates hand path, face angle, and low point control. Pratt explains how proper forward bend and side tilt prevent over-the-top slices and stuck pushes, demonstrating how to align torso angles for effortless speed and consistent contact.

• Torso positioning—combining forward bend, side tilt, and rotation—is the root cause governing hand path and low point control.
• Standing too tall during the downswing forces a vertical hand path or excessive side tilt, leading to over-the-top slices or early divots and hooks.
• Adding forward bow at the hips flattens the hand path and shallow the swing automatically.
• Allowing the handle to curve leftward around the body post-impact generates a slingshot release without forcing wrist rotation.
