Full Swing · Drill

Push right palm and elbow into left to shallow the shaft

This is a transition feel-drill for shallowing the shaft. Bring the hands and fingers together, and at the top of the swing push the right palm and right elbow against the left palm; from there the lead wrist moves a little more into flexion, creating a big angle. Craig Hanson's stated aim is to shallow the shaft and get the hands moving so you can handle sharp lean coming down.
