Hitting great golf shots that travel accurately and maximum distance isn’t difficult if you can get the golf club into the slot on your downswing. The slot is the optimal pre impact position to deliver the golf club through the ball from. In this video Natalie Adams from Smash Factor golf coaching shows you what the slot is, where it is and how to achieve it with a drill that is easy to set up at home, on the practice ground or the driving range.

Being able to hit a solid but deliberately low trajectory golf shot, when you have got slightly out of position on the golf course, can make a big difference to your score.

Here we look at how to do just that successfully.
