More from Jim McLean About the Slot

Many of you watched The Golf Fix Monday night and heard Michael Breed talking to Jim McLean about "the slot." For those of you who are interested in learning more about it, here's a 15-minute video Jim did a few years back about those 3 ways of "getting in the slot."



I'm not even going to try and summarize this video because there's so much info here and it's likely that only one-third of the info will help any one of you. (After all, if there are 3 ways to hit the slot, you're only going to use one of them.) So I'll let you watch this and sort out the info that will help you on your own.

The one thing I do want to point out is something Jim says in this video about perfection. He says that while the idea of a perfectly slotted swing -- especially the one-plane version -- can be useful when you're teaching the slot, it's actually next to impossible to perform a perfect swing because the downswing never exactly retraces the backswing. What you're looking for is a reasonably consistent swing that you can feel time after time. So keep that in mind if you're interested in exploring this "slot" concept.
