“Very steep” is one of the most common diagnoses in golf instructions. Players say it, say coaches, your partners are probably telling you. However, like most golf words, it is often misunderstood or, at least, excessive. A steep rhythm is not automatically a bad rhythm. There are times when a steep rhythm is just what you need to pull the blow you want. Here’s what it means “steep”, why it can help (or hurt) and how to show what kind of shaking pattern you are dealing with.
What is a steep rhythm?
A steep landing means that the club is going down on a more vertical road, usually outside the ideal swing plane. It often happens when the club club moves over their hands instead of standing behind them in transition.
If you are a player who sliced, rotates a little early or you like to go tightly to the ball from the top of your swing, you may have a steep golf rhythm. Steep oscillation usually puts pressure in a timely manner and leads to compensation as extensionprolonged chicken or sight strokes.
When do your sloping swing damage your game?
If your swing is LOT Steep, your most common losses will be:
- Pull that start left and stand left
- Attraction or slices
- Contact issues like finger strike and thin shots
- Feeling like you have to “save” any of the late hand -acting strokes
Most steep oscillations are the result of some common patterns: rotation very early, wings to the chest or Attempting to produce delay Pulling the handle down. Everyone throws the club in front of your hands. The result: a steep oscillation route.
Some players say he feels like they are “coming up” or even “tearing it”.
When steep oscillations actually help
Here is the good news: steep oscillations are not all bad. There are times when a slightly steep rhythm can actually help you. I have a shallow rhythm and when hitting the bunker shots, I have to consciously feel as if I am taking a faster way to be able to get the ball out of the bunker.
Here are some situations when a faster pace will actually help:
- Out of bunkers – You need a sharp background to draw the ball and create rotation and control.
- Tall players – Straight posture often creates naturally steep oscillations that match the body structure.
- Players who have a lot of extinguishing – Some players slide too far or remove the club too far away. They grip, block the shooting straight or double with hooks.
The usual steep causes (and what to do about it)
If you find that the list of ordinary losses for a steep rate sounds a lot like a golf round for you, it may be time to work a little in the shake. Here are some of the common causes of a steep oscillation and some quick adjustments.
Rolling too early from above
This is one of the most common steep movements. If your first move from above is to roll the hips and shoulders together, the club is thrown in front of your hands. This is called “comes up”.
Fix: Delay of the upper rotation of your body just a little. One way to feel this is to let your arms start falling while your chest stays calm for a beat. You’re not stopping, you’re ranking. Some players think about holding the backpack on the target just one second longer.
The hanging wings that do not fall
If your wings stay locked in your chest in transition, there is nowhere to go but steep. Only rotation will not fix this.
Fix: Let your arms fall naturally under the shoulder plane before rotating. Think of “wings down, then rotate”. Justin Rose makes this well; His arms fall under before he returns.
Wing movement
If your trail shoulder in the country rotates too early (as if you are starting a wing match), the shaft becomes steep. Golfists do this in their shaking because they think they create power. The problem is that you put you in a position where you should try to save the shake at the end.
Fix: Try this simple exercise to get a better feeling of what should happen in transition. Take your trail hand from the club on top, then repeat the movement with your lead hand only. It helps you feel how the side of the path SUPPORTINGnot prevail.
Some steep steep adjustments
You will notice many of the steep oscillation issues occur in transition. If you do better in that transition, you should be able to shake the shake.
Here are some other simple adjustments that can help:
- Take the wings deeper: If you are rigid or “closed”, try bending more on the hips and swing your arms more across your chest on top. This keeps the club behind you and reduces the possibility of the upper coming.
- Adjust the receipt: If your swing starts too far inside or your hands move early, the club can end up steep. Taking the club in front of your chest early can solve many problems later.
Last thought
Steep oscillations are just a problem when they are out of sequence or exaggerated. If you are someone who slicedAttract or feel like you are “stuck” and trying to save your swing at the end, there is a good chance that you are very steep and it’s time to fix it.
The real key? Don’t be followed alone shallow. Use shallow movements to redistribute your distribution and then learn how to steal when you need it, based on the blow you are playing. The best players can play steeply against shallow as needed.
