ARE YOU MISSING LEFT & HITTING IT FAT❓
That’s where Andy was when I met him last week.
He was swaying with no structure in his lead leg, causing the upper body to over rotate and tip to counter this.
His takeaway was very inside, with an open face and he had next to no width at the top ❌
By working on creating a stable left base, we were able to remove now unnecessary counter measures, allowing much better structure and width on top. This facilitated far more space and a far less shallow swing plane, less flipping closed at impact and more forward low point. ✅
In other words: Andy now has a far simpler, more efficient swing that’s easy to replicate and is hitting flushed, soft fades, instead of fat contacts and big left misses 🤝
What’s your killer miss right now 🤔❓

From struggling to get the fairway woods off the floor, seeing no difference between 9wd and 3wd and having issues with long carry shots…
To exactly what you’ll see in the final video 🏌️♂️📈🫱🏼🫲🏽
Do your fairway woods behave themselves?

How To Hit It Right ➡️
And More Importantly… How NOT To ✅
Before: An inside takeaway is one of the most common issues I see on the lesson tee; it often leads to a rolled open face, shallow plane and RIGHT swing direction 👉🏼
After: A neutral takeaway promotes a stronger face angle, steeper plane and In-In club path / swing direction straight at the target 🎯
Before: After impact, the body often tells us where the ball’s gone. If we don’t fully rotate through to face the target, swing direction and the clubface will likely remain open/right… ➡️
After: Instead, lift the right foot anchor and ensure you’re hitting through the ball and aiming to square up your chest, belt buckle and right shoe laces to the target, for instantly straighter shots ⛳️👍🏼

All this achieved with just one small change in philosophy 📈
We changed:
1) A taller, narrower, more athletic posture in setup.
2) Setting the wrists earlier in the swing to get a challenging element done first and eliminate the following compensations >>>
Now the wrists are doing their part, we no longer needed to overuse torso and hip rotation in order to get the club to the top of the swing.
Removing the unwanted consequences of no width, too much depth and a loss of stability in the left pivot ❌
>>>
And in turn we were able to ROTATE through impact as opposed to compensating for the poor top of swing position with hip sway and too many lateral elements and tilts ✅
Here’s to the start of a more efficient, consistent and enjoyable swing move for Josh Ellerby 🫱🏼🫲🏽👏
