Golf Swing Too Steep? Try This Wall Drill

Clay Ballard from Top Speed Golf demonstrates a simple wall drill to help golfers eliminate a steep downswing and stop coming over the top. By positioning yourself one foot from a wall, this feedback drill forces the wrists and elbows to flatten the club path behind the body for a proper inside path.

• Position yourself exactly 1 foot away from a wall in your standard setup position.
• Make a backswing to the top without letting the club contact the wall.
• Start the downswing by feeling the clubhead touch the wall before reaching head height.
• Allow the wrists and elbows to shallow the club behind you to achieve an inside swing path.
