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).
