If you have now decided that the flatter swing plane is something that you are going to en-devour to work on and improve into your game. Here are a couple of great little exercises that actually encourage you to make that flatter swing plane and encourage to in your golf to using it. One of the 1st things in a flat swing plane is we always see great shoulder rotation so a golfer that sets the ball ahead that rotates the shoulders away from the ball nicely can have a flat swing it's almost impossible to swing in that position without a good shoulder rotation in fact people that don't use the shoulders will often bring the club up very steeply. So from down the line the steep no shoulder rotation all the slots with good shoulder rotation. So working the shoulder in the takeaway great for a flat swing best shoulder rotation exercise and drill I can give you is to stand here with a golf ball out in front. Place the club over the top of the shoulders and hold onto it with your arms crossed till forwards to your good goalpost your position.
Now try and point the hound also pointing at the target currently pointing out the target try and point the handle at the golf pull and as I turn here you can see how I get good shoulder rotation trying to keep my legs relatively stable. So not bouncing around with my legs and my knees but he big goal the rotation and to what we would want to see is getting to the end of a box spring because from here my hands and arms going to have to work too much. So great shoulder rotation is a really good way of creating that nice turn into the back swing. So when you'll out on the driving range practicing and you're setting up the golf ball from here you really want to feel like the left shoulder turns and points down towards the ball rather than just a half a rotation and over using your hands and arms. The 2nd really good exercise I'd like to work on that is to take a move the ball and place to the round about a foot back from the ball you want to be going to hit as I set up to this ball I've got that one in my eye line as well not. So you can try to hit this one and roll it straight back position its around about a foot behind my original ball and if you are a bit on the nominee lifting the club into a steep position and be able to miss the ball quite easily be able to miss it just picking the club up. What we want to encourage you to do is push the left shoulder down and back and hit this ball roll it backwards as you make that flatter shoulder rotation in turn so you can push that one away and then hit this one as well. So spend some time in the driving range with the extra ball a foot back from the original rotate the shoulders swing flotsam then hit the 1st ball takes a bit of practice but the timing but if you work on the shoulder rotation keeping the club blow to the floor in the boxing you'll start to ingrain that flotsam back from position.
