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.

Here’s a simple index finger drill for anybody struggling, early releasing, maybe scooping through the impact zone. Club heads sort of in front of your hands. You’re really struggling with contact. When you do contact it well you’ll be getting high weak ball flights. You’ll be losing distance.

Here’s the key. I want you to be really aware of the weight of the club head. How that puts pressure on your index finger of your right hand. So in the transition I want you to feel how the swinging movement of the club head is increasing the pressure on this finger.

Now if you’re doing this, you’ll be creating a little more lag angle. The club head will naturally come down a little more behind your hands, the shaft leaning forward. You’ll get a more penetrating ball flight. You’ll be able to compress the ball a little more, improving your ball contact. So really be aware of the feeling in your index finger of your right hand. And try to feel the pressure increasing on that finger as your making the transition.
