The Power Move That Keeps You From Digging Your Own Grave

Per last weeks discussion on lower ball flight, I have once again included the impact photos below. After implementing last weeks impact position with your lead arm vs. shaft position, several of you discovered that your divots were too deep. Some of you were down far enough to find some lost treasures and the cracked bones of perished golf dreams. This week we will discuss a power move that allows you to get into the tour impact position and create shallow divots.

This weeks power move is created with SEPARATION of lower body and upper body movement. Congrats to Louis Oosthuizen on winning the British Open. You probably noticed that he hit a lot of low shots without taking deep divots. This is the result of the lower body sliding towards the target while the upper body is (separated) and tilted away from the target. This upper body tilt shallows the swing path and allows for clean contact and thin divots.
