PGA Professional Marcus Edblad demonstrates why the golf swing travels from low to high over the lead shoulder rather than horizontally wrapping around the body. Using a unique front-facing camera angle, Edblad shows how combining vertical low-to-high club direction with torso rotation yields consistent iron contact.
The clubhead travels from low up over your lead shoulder rather than horizontally around your torso.
Swinging up in front of the lead shoulder creates a straight inclined swing circle when combined with rotation.
Swinging too far around the body behind the lead shoulder often leads to excessive hands/arms wrapping and hooking.
Tour pros finish from low to high up over the lead shoulder regardless of whether they hit a draw or a fade.
