Ever found yourself frozen over the golf ball, your mind buzzing with so many thoughts that your swing becomes stiff and your shot goes wayward? That’s what Jim McLean calls a “death move”, and there are 21 of these moves that can completely wreck your game if you don’t pay attention!

In the second of this 3-part series, Justin Klemballa, who was mentored by McLean himself, discusses the next 7 of these 21 death moves in golf.

We kick things off explaining how folding of the right elbow can result in a narrow backswing, and its opposite yet equally deadly mistake: dropping the club below the right elbow in the downswing. We talk about the importance of flexibility and mobility in golf, likening a good swing to holding a pizza pie.

We go on to discuss the club shaft tip-over in your swing, a death move that typically leads in pulls and slices, improving your balance to avoid sliding past the ball on the downswing, and how to stop yourself from putting your weight on your toes in the backswing.

Another common death move comes about as a result of constantly being told to “keep your head down on the ball” in the backswing: excessively dipping your body. Justin’s goofy drill to keep this from happening is to dangle a glove from your mouth, and try to swing while keeping the glove from moving.

Finally, Justin teaches us how to avoid regripping the club during the swing by imagining the club to be a paintbrush.
