If your aim is to allow your golf club shaft to shallow during the downswing this video is the one for you. Matt and Pete will help you understand how aiming your shoulders in a closed position at set up and allowing more time during the transition phase of your swing can encourage the club shaft too shallow out further behind you and encourage a more inside swing past towards the ball.

So I think one of the key buzz words that we're hearing a lot at the moment on the Internet in the golfing world Pete would be shallowing of the shaft. For those who don't understand what is shallowing of the shaft and why is it such a buzz word at the moment. Why are people trying to achieve this shallowing motion? I think the really important thing about shallowing the shaft Matt is the exact opposite of what a lot of golfers do incorrectly which is deepening the shaft.

Ok so if I understand that the shaft has a plane as it has been swinging it starts off on a plane and on the length of the club higher or lower set up. This then turns into a backswing plane which would ideally pretty closely match the set up in plane. So now we've got a back swing plane a steepening shaft and in general in transition goes this way where the club gets a lot more vertical as it starts the downswing in transition and therefore a shallowing shaft is doing the opposite way dropping more in behind.
