Fantastic video. I will start using this immediately. I have been suffering from an across the line position for 20 years. I'm confident this drill will make a dramatic improvement in my game -- after lots of practice.
Hi John, just wanted to say that all your content is awesome, but this video especially helped me immeasurably. If you can believe it, my swing was ok on the takeaway until the club got to parallel, then I swung the club inside, went across the line at the top, started to come down too steep and then managed to find a way to shallow the club again. I struggled MIGHTLY for years with this and this drill has resolved every single issue I had. I cannot thank you enough for this video which has allowed me to enjoy the game again.
I've tried loads of other videos to fix this and this method is the first one that appears to work. Next I will take it out of the garden and onto the range and hit a non imaginary ball! Thanks.
G G 1 second ago I've been fighting the "across the line" thing since day 1. For me , it's the result of a long back swing. And although I have maintained a single digit hdcp, I was NEVER capable of getting below a 5 . My swing is about perfect timing. If my timing is on, I'm pretty good, but if my timing is off, I'm a mess. Thank you.
@@TruGolfAcademy would you say that left forearm rotation helps get into the desired position at the top? It feels like I need excessive forearm rotation to not go across line and to get a flat left wrist at top. I have a slightly strong grip
So I tried it and found that I managed to be in a much better position at the top. It felt like I was way laid off but I saw on video that the club was actually pointing just left of target. The times I made good contact the ball flew wonderfully on a great trajectory. But I also had lots of trouble closing the club face. In fact, I shanked several shots. I felt like I was coming way too much from the inside with an open face. Why would it now be much harder to close the club face from this much better position?
No normally the opposite. You would expect a flatter lead wrist at the top rather than a cupped lead wrist when it gets cross lined. The flatter lead wrist would mean less open. Take a look at the face position on video. Leading edge matching spine is ideal at the top
Excellent video. I will be working on this today.

Wow that’s awesome to hear! Glad to have helped mate
Great info and use of the cane in the grip is excellent idea. Hopefully I can adjust and stop crossing the line.
You can do it! 👍🏻

How’s the garden practice been? Hope it helped

I hope helps, it’s a good drill for you 👍🏼
Awesome lesson. I've never seen the swing plane explained that well. And such a simple way to fix a huge problem
Many thanks Rickie

Really helps my ball striking, thanks Jon
Thanks Paul, glad it’s helped!
Really Awesome video

excellent jon ;)
But to shallow out you need to rotate and not pull on the handle. Right? Like the set up. Always good to references and train with purpose. 🖒
Yes good lower body movement to initiate the downswing while not pulling the handle will definitely shallow
