*When you get your right elbow moving in the right direction leading the downswing. It can have dramatic positive impacts to your swing plane coming in on line. The right elbow starts the down swing, move it slightly down to start. Then directly in towards your side, the over-the-top effect is effectively eliminated.

The ’slot’ has to do with the optimal swing path on the downswing and helps a player make solid contact with the ball every time. How the Slot Works Renowned golf instructor Jim McLean describes the slot as the ideal channel, or swing path, for the golf club on the way down to impact with the ball.
Do you take the downswing for granted? Many weekend golfers do. That’s a mistake—one you don’t want to make. A poor downswing short-circuits power, costs you distance, and puts tremendous pressure on your short game. So, you want to get your downswing right.
You’re not just dropping the club toward the ball with your downswing. You’re unleashing the power you stored with your backswing. If you’ve made a complete turn, you’ve stored up enormous power in your swing. But you can’t unleash that power without a good downswing.
Below we’ll look at the four ways to start your downswing, gives you some tips on how to slow your downswing down and generate more power and provide a golf drill to ignite your swing.Four Ways to Start your Downswing
Transitioning from the top makes your downswing. Start down well, and you won’t have to make an adjustment to save your swing. Plus, you’ll supercharge your power and generate more distance. Hitting a short pitch to the green beats a long approach shot every time:
*Plant that heel — The key to making a good downswing is to start from the ground up. Stamping your front heel helps you do that. It ignites a sound, ground-up sequence that moves you to the downswing. It also smooths out a too-quick transition. It’s a good approach if you tend to shift forward during your swing.
*Fire your hips — Many savvy golfers—weekend or otherwise—make this move. It overrides a lack of power, loss of balance, and “handsey” release. It also prevents falling back on the downswing and sliding laterally instead of unwinding. More importantly, it lets you compress the ball. The move is good for backs, too.
*Drop your arms — Some golfers call this the magic move. Whether it’s magic or not, you decide. But it goes this way: Start by moving your arms in front of your chest, tuck your back elbow into your side, then take an inside track to the ball.
The move helps you achieve an in-to-out swing path, increase swing speed, and stops you from throwing your right shoulder toward the ball—a key cause of coming over the top. If you hit slices, pulls, popups, deep divots with your irons, this move helps.
*Bump your knee — In other words, you move your front knee forward slightly. A slightly move laterally with the knee combats an overactive upper body, overcomes static feet and legs, and encourages an in-to-out swing path. It also promotes good rhythm and cures slices and steep downswings. The move is Ideal for tall players with thin torsos.
Try all these four moves out. See which one works best for you. Give each a good run at the range. Then, pick the one that works best for you and try it on the course.
Slow Your Downswing, Boost Your DistanceSlowing Down Your Downswing
Speeding up your downswing throws your center of gravity off. That’s a mistake that causes all sorts of problems. But you can use gravity to slow down your downswing, Here’s how:
*When you address the ball, the point midway between your shoulders—your sternum—becomes your swing center. When you tilt your head behind the ball, you shift your weight back and move the swing center back slightly.
*At this point, some golfers shift their heads forward to try to recapture their original swing centers. That change moves your swing center too far forward, forcing you to speed up your hands to compensate. Needless to say, that move leads to mishits.
*Instead, let gravity do the work. Take your normal address position, shift your head slightly back, make your takeaway to the top, then let gravity pull your club down into the ball. That move keeps your center of gravity right where it should be.
Letting gravity do the work means you don’t have to get handsey or quick with your swing. Instead, you’ll have a nice smooth swing with plenty of power.

Slowing down your downswing adds power and control to your swing. But if you want to add power AND control, slowing down your entire swing does the trick. It sounds counterintuitive. But it’s true.
Here’s a drill that helps you slow down your swing and retain control. It’s a modification of a Jim Flick golf drill that he learned from Davis Love:
Go to the range. Take your address with your driver. Then pick out a spot about 100 yards away. Let the club do the work. Do this first part a few times to create harmony within your swing. Try to remember the feel of this swing.
Tee up the ball again, pick out a target about 150 yards away, and try to hit that using the same swing speed you used on the first shot. Just widen your swing arc. Now do everything the same for 200 yards. Then 250 yards.
With practice, this golf drill not only helps boost your power but also teaches you control and consistency. Having a swing like that can help you pump out more distances, take pressure off your short game, and cut strokes from your scores and your golf handicap.Don’t Let This Power Killer Cost You Distance
Rushing your downswing with your driver short-circuits power. It creates a cramped, narrow downswing and forces you to swing down on top of the ball. That costs you power and direction. Rushing your downswing also forces you to make on-the-fly adjustments during the swing, which often causes mishits.
Here’s how you tame your downswing:
*Complete the backswing
*Find the “slot.”
*Locate the inside track and stay there.
*Flex the back knee and keep it flexed.
*Shift your weight “down the line.”
If you’re like many weekend golfers, you fail to complete your backswing to start your downswing. Rushing the transition like this drains power from your swing and leads to mishits. Instead, finish your backswing first.
Having completed your backswing, you now need to find the “slot.” That’s the halfway point in the downswing where you’re coming from the inside track with your right elbow close to your right hip.
To find the slot, you need to rotate your shoulder a complete 90-degrees (or as close to that as you can get). That move takes the club naturally into the slot on the downswing with power.
Dropping your back elbow down to your side as you come down also delivers the clubface squarely to the ball.
Two more moves boost your power to the next level. One is flexing your back knee slightly and keeping it flexed as you start down creates the resistance you need to power the ball long and straight.
Second, you need to shift your weight forward gradually. Don’t rush this move. Keep it nice and smooth. And keep your knees braced to support your body’s full unwinding.
Here’s a great golf drill to practice getting into the slot on the downswing.
Go to the top of your swing and stop. Then, bring the club down to about waist high. As you do this, feel your right elbow come into your side. Make sure you cock keep your wrists. Pump the club two or three times like this. On the fourth pump, go ahead and hit the ball.
Practice this golf drill often to ingrain the feel of a good downswing. Mastering your downswing delivers power you never knew you had.Two Backswing Golf Drills That Cut Strokes
What’s the only point in your swing where the club changes direction? It’s during your backswing. And that’s a crucial point in your swing. Get the backswing wrong and you’ll spray shots all over the course, pumping up your scores.
Below are two golf drills that help cut strokes from your scores:Golf Drill 1: Correcting a Reverse Pivot
Failing to transfer to your weight correctly leads to a deadly swing flaw called the reverse pivot. That’s where you shift your weight to your left during the backswing, then right before you start your downswing.Here’s a drill that corrects this common but deadly swing flaw:
*Assume your normal stance with the driver. If possible, tee up the ball.
*The key to this drill is foot position. Keep your right foot in your usual spot.
Move your left foot right next to it. Keep the clubhead right behind the ball as usual. This way, the ball will be positioned quite far on the left of your body. This move trains you to shift weight properly.
*Perform a backswing, but just as you reach the top of your swing, return the left foot to your usual position.
*Finally, make your downswing. Notice that you will be forced to shift your weight from right to left.
Shifting your weight incorrectly is among the most common swing flaws in the game. If that’s what’s costing you strokes, working on the golf drill discussed above helps eliminate that swing flaw.Golf Drill 2: Eliminate Poor Downswing Transition
Here’s a second golf drill that corrects another common swing flaw: poor downswing transition.
*Get a tee and place it in the hole at the end of the grip. Any length tee will do, but the longer, the better, as long as it won’t disrupt your swing.
*Now, tee up the ball, and draw a straight line behind it. You may use vanishing chalk spray on the grass, as long as it is allowed on the course or driving range. You can use white tape if you’re trying this indoor
*Perform a backswing, and pause when you reach the top of the swing
*Now, look at the tee peg, and as you perform the downswing, aim the tee peg at the straight line you’ve drawn/placed
*Try it slowly at first, and as you get more comfortable with the drill, increase the speed.
Perfect your downswing, and you’ll find yourself hitting the ball longer and straighter than ever.The Key To The Golf Swing: Finding The Slot On The Downswing
The one key that 99% of tour pros seem to share in common is finding the ’slot’ on the downswing. After reading Jim McLean’s book, The Slot Swing, I have come to the conclusion that there is in fact a ’slot’ in the downswing that all pros seem to follow. Check out the professional golf swings on YouTube and you will find evidence.
How To Swing A Golf ClubSo from McLean’s observations there are three different shapes of the slot swing (see below). Finding this slot in all simplicity requires having a clubshaft plane that is ’flatter’/ more horizontal on the 3/4 position in the downswing than at that same position on the backswing. It’s the clubshaft that falls to the lower plane (finding the slot) a move that happens naturally when you trigger your downswing by shifting your lower-body center toward the target (also see Over the Top). For most amateurs who swing over the top, their shaft plane from backswing to downswing becomes more vertical and they have little choice but to swing over the top and hit weak pulls and slices.
The red line is the initial backswing plane (which is in an acceptable position for all these players), but on the downswing when their shaft plane gets more vertical, they miss the slot and come over the top.
It’s important to realize that the act of swinging ’on plane’ doesn’t mean that your hands, left arm, and shaft work in the same plane at the same time. Although there are some points in your swing where everything matches up, it’s incredibly difficult to plane everything perfectly, including the clubhead, the shaft, the hands, and the arms. While it may look good on paper or to a scientist, achieving these perfect positions is incredibly difficult and unnatural. Trying to be perfect usually leads to over thinking, freezing up, and at times, quitting the game. The best thing about the Slot Swing is that it doesn’t care about your exact backswing plane. [McLean] has build several Safety Corridors that simply demand that you get within a range. The only plane of extreme importance is the one you shift your clubshaft onto at the start of your downswing. The Slot Swing is designed to improve the swings of recreational golfers. How To Get In The Slot Golf Swing
*Designed to give you more freedom in your swing (instead of asking you to follow a strict diet of positions and angles.
*Make it easier to approach the ball from inside the target line (the path opposite the one that causes your slice).
*Improve your rhythm and tempo
*Add power to your tee shots and to each of your irons.
*Eliminates the most damaging swing error you can make: coming over the topYou’re not copying the swing of a Tour player, but rather the inside loop. The inside slot move requires the least amount of athleticism and has the greatest margin for error. Plus when you do it correctly, it makes it almost impossible to come over the top. You don’t need perfect backswing positions. You just need to get the shaft more vertical and then one good move at the start of your downswing that causes your clubshaft to flatten out and approach the ball from inside the target line.
The Secret is in the ShiftDrop Golf Club In Slot
Regardless of what your top position looks like, your lower body is the first thing to move from the top, and the principles involved in this motion are the same ones you use in every other athletic throwing or hitting motion. These principles are shifting, rotating your body center, and releasing your right arm. Almost immediately on finishing your backswing, get your lower body moving towards the target. Lee Trevino always said that he liked to ’break my knees toward the target to start his downswing.’ The leading action of your lower body causes a quick separation. Basically, you’re trying to leave your arms and hands - as well as the club - behind. Causing your club to trail and flatten is what positions it in the slot. In addition you must drop your right elbow close to your hip and underneath your right hand. Done correctly, it should feel as if your right elbow is moving toward the ball. If you need something to focus on as you transition from backswing to downswing, key in on your right elbow. Power Slot Golf Swing
There is the standard slot swing, which basically curves the look of an outside-in swing path, a single plane slot swing, which curves the look of an ’one plane’ swing of the clubhead, and the reverse slot swing which curves the look of an ’in to out’ action. All these golf swings can although they may look inside-out, outside-in, or on-plane can all hit a straight shot, a draw, and a fade, depending on what kind of strike you put on it (see Understanding Ball Flight). All golf swings are acceptable and professionals have won with one of these three swing types.

Notice that the red line is the clubhead’s backswing while the blue line is the clubheads downswing. In all three the downswing shaft plane is either flatter than or equal to the shaft plane on the backswing.
