Golf Drill: How To Drop The Club In The Slot
Guys dropping the club into the slot in the downswing has been a mystery for golfers for way too long. The ability to drop the club correctly into the slot depends a couple key moves.
At the top of the backswing in golf you want to drop your arms straight down, keeping your head behind the ball, to start the downswing. This does a few things, it keeps your weight on your trail side as your club comes into impact.
This is very important in the impact golf swing. The right elbow will come down and seal to our right side.
As the arms are dropping the right side begins to speed up during the arm drop picking up club head speed and power.
As your arms drop and come into impact the trail shoulder stays underneath the lead elbow until impact.
This promotes an inside approach swing path to the golf ball.
