Make the Downswing Easier One of the biggest reasons I see golfers steepen the club in transition is what happened in the backswing If you want to fix that listen up When the forearms rotate excessively the club often gets too laid off at the top And from there There may be only one place to go Steeper But when the club is loaded more down the line at the top theres more room for the clubhead to fall behind the hands in transition That can make shallowing feel much more natural Then its turn and burn And as always if youre laid off at the top and flush it Daniel Berger keep it up Follow kraftygolf to shoot lower scores

Getting the club too laid off at the top is one of the most common reasons for golfers coming over the top. Instead of getting the club too laid off, we need to load the club more down the line. This way it has room to shallow and swing from the inside. You can control this by where your thumbs point at the top. Don't let your thumbs point too far behind you. Instead, try to point your thumbs over your head at the top of your backswing. This will load the club more down the line and give it room to shallow.

Summary

To improve your golf swing, avoid excessive forearm rotation and ensure your thumbs point over your head at the top of your backswing. This helps load the club down the line and allows for a more natural shallowing of the club during the downswing.

Key Points

  1. Excessive forearm rotation can lead to a laid-off club at the top.
  2. A laid-off club often results in a steeper downswing.
  3. Loading the club down the line allows for a natural shallowing.
  4. Thumb position at the top affects club loading and swing path.
  5. Point thumbs over your head to improve club positioning.
