Fix Your Ball Flight with the DEEP TO SHALLOW Swing Change
If you’re tired of slicing the ball, ballooning shots, or hitting weak fades, it’s time to take a serious look at your swing path. One of the most powerful fixes in modern golf is learning the DEEP TO SHALLOW swing change β a move that can totally transform your ball flight.

π What Is a DEEP TO SHALLOW Swing?
The DEEP TO SHALLOW swing means your club works more around your body on the backswing (deep), and shallows out as it transitions into the downswing. This motion promotes:
- An inside-out path
- Lower, more compressed ball flight
- Less slice, more draw
- More distance and better contact
π§ Why This Change Works
A steep downswing causes the club to come over the top, leading to slices and weak pulls. Shallowing the club in transition gives you:
β
More time to rotate
β
Better body-sync
β
Clubface control
β
Stronger ball flight
π οΈ How to Make the DEEP TO SHALLOW Swing Change
- Backswing: Get the Club Behind You
Focus on turning your shoulders and letting the club move behind your trail shoulder. Don’t lift it β rotate it. - Transition: Shallow, Donβt Chop
Start the downswing with your hips, and let the club drop behind you. Feel like the shaft “lays down” instead of chopping down steeply. - Impact: Rotate, Donβt Slide
Keep your chest turning through impact. No flipping β rotate and extend through the shot.
