Understanding Shallowing: How to Resist While Transitioning
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Recognize the importance of resisting shallowing during your swing.
- Develop a feel for the subtlety in allowing the club to shallow naturally.
- Learn how to time your release for improved consistency and power.
In this video, you'll learn how to manage the shallowing of your club during the transition phase. Understanding this concept can help you improve your swing mechanics and timing for better ball striking.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.720
this video is shallowing while resisting shallowing so many golfers working on
2
00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:10.800
the shallowing movements and trying to get the club to kind of fall during
3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:15.960
transition do so actively and it can cause some problems let me share kind of a
4
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:20.040
little analogy imagine imagine I'm playing football and I've got a blocker
5
00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:24.480
coming at me just like this so I'm gonna put my hand out and he's gonna come in
6
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:29.760
towards me and I'm pushing against him but he's stronger than me or he's got
7
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:33.640
momentum so for a little while he's gonna push my hand even though I'm
8
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:38.220
pushing that way but then I'm going to overcome hit and be able to continue
9
00:00:38.220 --> 00:00:42.640
pushing that way and get it to move similarly what should happen in
10
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.160
transition is when this club is shallowing it's not that I'm pulling it this
11
00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:52.920
way and then pulling it that way that would take a lot of brain activity I'm
12
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:59.640
feeling like I'm going to be pushing that way but I'm doing so very subtly
13
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:04.800
at first so at a rate less than the weight of the club had falling until I
14
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:09.320
get down into that delivery position and then I can kind of go at it a little
15
00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:14.320
bit more full force so during that early phase when you're getting the club to
16
00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:19.640
shallow it's not that you're actively pulling it down when you're when you're
17
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.680
first learning it and first kind of experiencing the the weight of the club
18
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.880
shallowing you may have to actively help it a little bit but ideally you'll be
19
00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:32.840
resisting it shallowing even though it's shallowing until you get down closer
20
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:33.040
to
21
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:38.800
the release and then you can actively oppose that shallowing force so if you've
22
00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:43.520
struggled with kind of the timing and you feel like it's more of a pull one way
23
00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:49.840
push the other try to feel the subtlety of you resisting the shallowing as you
24
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:49.840
're
25
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.640
doing the shallowing and that'll help it blend into the Zora moves and help you
26
00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:00.120
blend into the release timing so you can do the little pump drills and kind of
27
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:05.200
exaggerate it by standing the club up vertically kind of like so and just get
28
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:11.280
a feel of stopping the club from falling then what you'll do is you'll go up to
29
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.640
the top of your swing you're gonna feel like it's gonna fall and you're just
30
00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:18.960
going to resist that falling so I'm going to feel like it falls and I'm gonna
31
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:23.400
resist that falling I'm gonna feel like it falls and resist and then I can go
32
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.800
ahead and swing through now I didn't actually set up to the golf ball so we'll
33
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:34.160
we'll try one more so if you get up to the top feel like it falls and resist
34
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:34.900
feel
35
00:02:34.900 --> 00:02:39.760
