Are you tired of hearing about keeping your head down? Wish you could stay down long enough to see the ball fly instead of roll on the ground? Do you wish you could hit a draw vs. a slice?
One simple swing image will help you accomplish this wish list. Most topped shots, fades and slices are induced by a steeper or more up and down swing plane like the image of a Ferris wheel. If you tilt a Ferris wheel on its side at approximately a 45 degree angle, then you have a vision of the proper angle or swing plane to swing along.
Imagine swinging your club along the underneath side of a tilted hula hoop. This type of swing will feel more around your body than your current swing plane. By swinging more around (underneath the hula hoop), you won't be challenged to stand up out of your posture or swing above the desired swing plane. For golfers who have trouble getting the ball in the air on approach shots or usually hit a fade or slice, consider swinging underneath the tilted hula hoop both on the backswing, downswing and through swing.
Remember, it is extremely important to swing underneath the hula hoop on the down and through swing as this will help the club head make a solid first impression on the ball at impact. Let this image be your imaginary guide to swinging the club with greater success and consistency.
