Let’s take a closer look at the different levels of golfers, the various handicaps, and observe how their swings progressively break down—it’s truly fascinating. We’ll start by analysing Adam Scott, representing a handicap of zero. You can see the fantastic angles formed during the downswing, with his body moving through the impact zone to achieve sharper compression and clean contact. It’s impressive, but it doesn’t take long to notice how quickly players’ swings start to deteriorate. There are subtle variations happening at impact—the shoulder doesn’t move through the zone, affecting the compression. For a player with a handicap of six, they’re unable to create the dynamic angles needed during the downswing, and their swing breaks down quite rapidly. This is unfortunate, especially because we have the knowledge to help golfers reach the next level. 

When observing golfers at higher handicaps, you’ll notice they tend to add artificial loft and are nowhere near the correct angles. Major swing issues become more apparent as the handicap increases. In this video, we’ll explore some interesting concepts that will help you understand how to create better angles, develop lag, and achieve shaft lean in your swing. These elements will make your swing more dynamic, no matter your skill level. I work with players from all over the world, providing swing analysis through videos—just like on YouTube—but with your personal swing reviewed at WorldClassGolf.com. Let’s dive into this fascinating video, packed with valuable drills. We’ll start with two important drills: one of the best for improving your hand and wrist movement to increase lag and shaft lean, and the other to help you understand how your body should move. 

By getting on the correct side of the wall, you’ll be able to hit the ball more solidly and develop great angles. If you’re using an app like V1 or any swing analysis software, it’s essential to film your swing—everyone’s doing it, and no pro plays without analysing their swing. When you see golfers outside the trail foot, you’ll realize that’s where the better players are positioned. I’ll show you this briefly before we move on to the drill. Watch how professional golfers move during the downswing, staying on the inside and on the correct side of the wall. On the other hand, amateurs tend to have a wider gap in their trail arm, which causes them to lose their angles, speed, and control. This leads to fat or thin shots, early extension, and a loss of power. The upcoming drill will help address these issues. 

Now, let’s look at some great swings from the past and see how you can apply these principles to your own game.
