Thoughts on Body Rotation Leading to Less Shallowing / Out to in Path


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've been hitting my irons pretty good lately, with a baby draw. I also work with the Dewiz sometimes and with video to see what the club is doing and in general the club path looks okay I think.

However, lately im trying to rotate much to see more of the 2 back pockets at impact. To be fair im probably over-rotating or rotate too early in practice now (hopefully I'll find a good middle-ground eventually).

However, I notice that the club path becomes worse and less shallow, since more rotation just forces the club outwards I think? It might just be a timing issue as well, not sure.

Just wondering if someone knows any instructional video on this topic or has any ideas on this topic,

Not sure about all the things you are mentioning about your swing specifically, but in terms of the general topic of "shallowing," and how it relates to arm movement and body movement, the above link is excellent.

In general, yes, getting open more or sooner can lead to pulling the club out earlier and across the ball (left, for a righty).

    • @jxdama: Same dumb schtick since joining. Yup. Also, it's a par-73.
    • Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.
    • OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?     
    • I wont  comment further except to say maybe we  can get a  -40 winner soon on these tests  of golf  skill     Hideki Matsuyama runs away with The Sentry, breaks scoring record to open new PGA Tour season Hideki Matsuyama picked up his 11th PGA career win on Sunday afternoon in Hawaii.  
    • Day 4 - Had aspirations for range work but a family activity went a lot longer than expected. So 6 minutes of mirror work, feeling good about weight shift back and transition forward.
