Improve Your Golf - Swing Tips - Drop Into the Slot

[Excaliburxxxxxx]

My game went from BAD to GOOD just by getting into the 'slot'.

All my shots went from fades and slices to straight and slight draws.

Clear, concise and complete.. Excellent. Ever wonder why tour players hit it a mile while appearing to apply no effort? This is why.. Most league players, Saturday hacks etc usually jerk the club down when they initiate the downswing. This drill promotes the smoothness necessary to properly deliver the clubhead. Jim McLean didn't INVENT this idea. Don't kid yourself. Jim is great, but most common golf instruction is the work of Mr. Harvey Pennick.. Get your facts straight..

@Mrdarwinfinch71 The only thing that he doesn't mention is how the right wrist cock will get more pronounced when the club is "dropped" into that position. My estimate is that the initial wrist cock is 75-80 degrees, when in the slot it 90 or a little more, it is caused by the tension created in the motion and that is where the power either is, or is squandered..

did you give Jim McLean credit for stealing his ideas?
