Hello all,

New to the forum from the Melbourne Florida area! 

Just started playing golf last May. Seen some  improvements which is always positive !

Anyways I have a question for you all. I have had trouble with falling back on my driver which has caused me a good amount of distance. I've been working on the step through drill and it has really helped, a little too much. I find my most consistent drives the last week have come using this step drill. Anybody have any tips to transition this drill back into my normal swing?

Thanks, and if anyone in the Melbourne Fl area wants to play let me know!

Welcome!

If you struggle with falling back then you probably struggle with maintaining a steady head in the golf swing. 

I would check out these threads, 

Here is a video on a steady head,

If you are talking about the Gary Player walk-through, I'll let you know "if" I totally eliminate it.

I recently started using this drill because I wasn't in balance on my downswing. I was falling away from the ball, not necessarily a complete lack of weight shift to the left leg, but I had too much weight on my left heel on the back swing and that was throwing me off.

I kinda like the walk through and it is supposed to be easier on the back.

      Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
