This Move Made Me a Long Hitter! #shorts

Steve Pratt demonstrates a critical downswing move involving a lateral shift and side tilt to create a shallow club path. By keeping the head centered and allowing the right hip and shoulder to drop into a low position, golfers can achieve an inside-to-square strike for maximum power.

• Ensure the left hip orbits back (away from a reference chair) while keeping the head centered.
• Initiate the downswing with a 'step down' lateral shift to the lead side.
• Allow the right hip and shoulder to drop into a low position to create side tilt in the spine.
• The side tilt is the key to dropping the club into a 'shallow slot' for an inside-out path.
• Maintain this posture through impact to maximize clubhead speed and ball-striking power.
