The Downswing Fix For Straighter Drives - Easy Golf Swing Tips

In this video, you will learn a drill that will help you hit straighter tee shots, better golf drives and hit more fairways. This drill will help you correct two common swing faults: the over-the-top and the early extension. These faults can cause you to slice or hook the ball, lose distance and accuracy, and hurt your consistency.

The over-the-top occurs when you start your downswing with your upper body instead of your lower body. This causes your club to move outside the target line and across the ball, resulting in a slice or a pull. The early extension occurs when you thrust your hips towards the ball instead of rotating them. This causes you to lose your posture and your spine angle, resulting in a loss of power and control.

To fix these faults, you must learn how to initiate your downswing with your lower body and keep your club on the correct swing plane. You must also learn how to maintain your posture and spine angle throughout the swing. This will allow you to swing from the inside and hit the ball with a square clubface. You will also generate more speed and compression at impact, increasing your distance and control.

The drill I will show you is simple and will help you achieve this. All you need is a golf club and a ball. You start by swinging back normally, but before you reach the top of your backswing, you step out with your lead foot and start your downswing. This will force you to shift your weight and hips faster, creating a better sequence of motion in your swing.

You can practice this drill with different clubs and ball positions and see how it improves your ball striking and distance control. You will be amazed by how much more consistent and powerful your drives will become. Try this drill today and see how it can help you play better golf.
