And just as a follow up to earlier, if you get narrow on the way down it can make closing the face difficult, so if you’re trying to hit down it can feel like you have to shift left a lot. That Monte Scheinblum drill feel is pretty good for neutralizing getting too narrow. This is something I personally work on all the time, as I get narrow and my hands drop too fast. I actually TRY to cast it almost like a Max Homa …

If you took the hip and shoulder turn out of the swing your arms would be moving up and down like you're chopping wood.

Your right elbow should be turned more out, like you are giving blood. In your backswing, your shoulders stop turning and you lift your arms too much! Your arm movement across your body should only be a small distance. Check out Athletic Motion Golf on YouTube! ▶ this video
