Flat Golf Swing

Fix A Flat Golf Swing And Hit The Ball More Consistently

If you are suffering from a flat golf swing, you may want to work on getting your golf swing more on plane correctly. If your swing is too flat, you're swinging the golf club too much around your body and you'll need to get a little more vertical.

I tell my students on their backswing they should swing the golf club over the tip of their right shoulder. This is the key to being on the correct swing plane at the top of the golf swing.

If your golf swing is too flat, sometimes the club can get stuck behind you on the downswing and coming into impact. Thus the tendencies with a golf swing that is too flat is to hit either a push or a hook. If the hands try to compensate for the club coming down too inside, a hook golf shot can result.

The swing plane is important to understand but you don't want to become obsessed with it. A slightly flatter swing won't necessarily be a huge problem. A lot of it will have to do with other mechanics in the swing.
