Club path - steeps and shallows

Club path – steeps and shallows explains how the club travels relative to the target line and swing plane, which controls curve, contact, and the overall path of the clubhead. Mastering shallowing in transition and avoiding a steep, over-the-top move improves face-to-path control for straighter, longer shots. Through anti-slice/anti-hook stations, gate drills, and path training with Swingmate, pool noodles, rope, and lasers, you’ll link arm shallow to body rotation from takeaway to low point and through impact.

• Diagnose path with divot reading, Ball Flight Trident, and video comparisons.
• Transition checkpoints: reverse pump, late shallowing, hands-left finish for width.
• Drills: gate stations, railroad tracks, rope/laser lines, pool noodle, shallow wall slides.
• Cues: leftward hand path, preset unhinge, ulnar deviation down, connect to low point.
• Outcomes: fewer slices/hooks, cleaner contact, consistent start lines, longer drives.
• Strategy: shape a playable fade, manage uneven lies, refine driver path.
