From here he got moving more laterally versus spinning out with the chest. By keeping the hips in front and chest more closed off, in addition to the backswing changes, he shallowed much better
Don’t “pull down on a chain” to try to create lag, most players who do this end up excessively hinging (radial deviating) the wrists on the down swing.
When this occurs the lead wrist also typically cups (extends). As a result the club gets steep and open, with a very narrow shaft to forearm angle. Many times players lean back to lower the club, stall out, and flip resulting in reverse shaft lean; the exact opposite of what was intended.
Instead, stay wide and lower the arms. This helps the club shallow, keeps the wrists positions neutral, and doesn’t force you to compensate with your pivot and wrist angles. Now that the club is lower you can rotate rather than lean back which will help keep those hands in front. 👌🏼

Walking on the ground for an entire year watching some of the best players in the world play…here are some of my biggest takeaways:
1) AimPoint is here to stay. A majority of the world’s best players are using the system
2) One of the most difficult shots in the game is when the hole is cut on the right side of the green with trouble right and wind blowing right to left. (Also same when hole is cut on left side of green with trouble left and left to right wind). I hardly ever see players riding the wind in that scenario with iron shots. More often than not they are holding shots into crosswinds to make it fly straighter.
3) When laying up with a long iron off of a teebox.. For the most part players stick with their normal trajectory of a 3 iron vs trying to hit the Tiger “stinger”.
4) The best wedge players I watch are able to take more club and bring the flight down. Taking spin off the golf ball and getting the 1 bounce and stop vs full ripped wedges and a ton of spin.
5) Golf is a very frustrating game and even the world’s have trouble containing their tempers. The best players do a great job of resetting on the next shot by verbalizing with their caddie on what they are trying to accomplish.
6) You have to be able to hit it long off the tee but more importantly you have to have a “change up” pitch as well. Even the longest drivers of the ball have a go-to shot whether that is teeing the ball down or aiming up the left and hitting a cut. Very few players hit the same driver shot on every single hole especially for the longer players.
7) You can start a stopwatch with most Tour players from when they start their routines to when they finish and it will be within seconds just about every time.
I’m sure there are others that I will think of but this should spark some thought for any golfer trying to improve their golf game.
