Matching downswing to a flat backswing in golf
The downswing should not aim to pull the clubhead out in front on a naturally flat backswing. A flat swing can stay flat if the follow through lowers and moves the hands left and around the body. Focus on ascent angle and posture, matching a vertical spine with a flatter swing, then practice one clear change rather than a full swing overhaul.
