SWING KEY – STAY WIDE

Stay wide to improve your ball striking

Transcript

Hi, Robin here. Here’s a simple key for anybody who feels like they’re out of control in their release. They feel the club is almost flinging in the arms and the release of the club face is out of control. What I want you to do is try to feel that you stay wide throughout your whole swing. To me, a great way to feel that is grip the club with your right arm only, feel like you keep the distance between your chest and your hand equal in the backswing, in the downswing. You feel like the club shaft stays away from your body throughout the movement. If you get the sense of staying wide throughout the entire motion and put your left hand on and try to gain that same feeling of staying wide throughout the whole motion. People who get narrow and right arm get stuck behind them, it’s this movement when the arm suddenly comes out, you lose control of the release; you lose control of the club face. So perhaps before you hit the ball, you make one practice swing. Right arm only, put your left hand on, try to repeat that same key, that same feel, and then strike the ball with the same feeling. Hope it helps.
