Shallowing the club

How is that.

to shallow you have to externally rotate your right arm at the shoulder, in other words you need more frontal movement of the right elbow relative to the right hand. Thinking about leading the downswing with your right elbow going toward the ball while trying to keep your hands quiet and passive will accomplish that. Conversely if the hands move first you will get steep aka "pulling on the handle"

I had a lesson this past Friday and learned I have a step angle of attack on my down swing.

The other poster is correct about the trail shoulder needing to be in external rotation to shallow the club. There are prerequisites to get into that position. If the club is too flat at the top of the swing it will be nearly impossible to shallow it in the downswing. If you stand up out of posture in the downswing you won’t be able to shallow properly. If your grip is too weak, leading to an open clubface, you won’t be able to shallow. Many reasons you might be steep in the downswing. Did your instructor give you any drills?

No he didn’t. After a couple swings with him helping I was hitting some of my best shots ever and felt like I had it down. Well today playing I sucked it up again! It was strange at the lesson I couldn’t hit a bad shot or my typical fat thin shot. I don’t feel like he got to see how I really play. I don’t know if I was just more relaxed or what.

I think being able to take a swing change to the course successfully after 1 lesson is expecting too much. That's just not how it works though everyone wants it to. Just keep practicing the movement and follow-up with Chris. Have to be process oriented not results oriented with golf if you want to be good

It's gonna take more than two days ingrain any change

Check out the so deep i can't see it video on YouTube. Practice those keys until you are blue in the balls. Then take 2 weeks off then quit.
