Haha! That’s a good one! Reflecting on my swings, I realize it’s about trusting the process of practice. Sometimes it’s the mishits that teach you the most!

When attempting a shallow swing, many golfers tend to overuse their arms instead of engaging their core. This leads to inconsistent shots. I found that practicing with a focus on my hips has helped me maintain proper form.

That’s so true! Focusing on the lower body can really make a difference. I also like to think about keeping my arms relaxed throughout the swing.
A common error I see is golfers getting too handsy at the top of the swing. This can wreck your angle. Try rehearsing the shallow swing with a towel under your arms—keeps everything connected!
Absolutely! I used to struggle with that too. It’s definitely helped me to think about initiating with my upper body instead of my hands.
Another frequent mistake is not maintaining a steady head position during the swing. A simple drill is to practice your swing while keeping your head behind the ball. It helps solidify your focus.
I just can’t seem to shallow my swing consistently! Any tips for getting over that mental block? I get nervous and revert back to my old habits, and it’s very frustrating.

I feel you! Try visualizing your swing before you hit—it can ease some of that tension. Also, take your time during the setup process. It works wonders for my confidence.

I’ve learned to laugh at my swing as much as possible! It’s all about progress, right? Remember, even the pros have bad days. Embrace the journey!

Exactly! Just the other day, my buddy hit a drive that went more sideways than straight. We couldn’t stop laughing! It’s good to keep a light-hearted attitude.
One drill I’ve found helpful is the ‘pump drill.’ It’s a great way to work on the feel of the shallow swing without hitting a ball. Repeat it slowly and you’ll see results.
