Shallow Arm Lift?

+alexsaary Yea, they don't need to know the specifics, but I think it's helpful as a coach to know the details. I mean, in reality, as long as you can fix them, it doesn't even really matter if we know why!

+Tyler F I got an email from another coach about Ulnar Deviation... "One question regarding this with Ulnar deviation in this context. I’ve regarded this a shallowing move. I’m slightly confused. Would it not be a steep move if you did just this at impact, like the pull down with the arms? Like hitting down with a hammer. Unless you see it as the hands moving away ie handle flip drill. Complimentary move. I’m thinking you would need to add more body rotation, a steep move, so that would make it shallow. I’d of thought Ulnar moves it down the plane making it a steep move? Or is the club getting further from the ball that makes it shallow. Just thinking about it with regards to my finesse wedge shots as I need to get more Ulnar in there! Please could you just clarify how The ulnar deviation sits in this method of determining steeps and shallows. Many thanks" I love the thought process. Some of the wrist movements are tricky! Ulnar deviation does meet some steep criteria as well as some shallow criteria. In my experience, the overall effect is usually shallow. But it does make the path go more left (so you have to factor that in for some students). PS - Another tricky one is lead wrist flexion. It moves the club up the swing plane (shallow), but it also narrows the space significantly (steep). It requires more rotation, but also side bend. Overall, I view it as a steep, but I can see the argument that it's a shallow. Thinking through the puzzle is one of the best parts of this exercise :)
