Golf Tips – No Slide on the Downswing
I came across this video about unwinding on the downswing, where there’s no lateral movement toward the target. I’ve heard from other golf teachers that there is “some” lateral movement toward the target on the downswing. How else would golfers end up in the reverse C position if there wasn’t at least a smidge of lateral movement?
What do you think?

Yes there has to be a small lateral slide…..you bump the hips toward the target while allowing you hands to drop.
I think that so many players over do the lateral slide that teachers say things that are not actually true in order to get a student to stop making a bad move. This probably works best for the majority….unfortunately some people actually accomplish the literal advice from the teacher and get messed up by this.
This is where a great teacher shines….knowing how much to reveal to the student and how much to blow smoke.
