I saw a comment on a Martin Hall tip video thanking Martin for a “wiping up the spilled milk” tip and so I had to go and try to find what this meant.  This is what I found. Martin gives 3 tips for eliminated the slice, and finishes with “wipe up the spilled milk”.

Revolution Golf sends me an e-mail every day.  Sometimes they are trying to get me to sign up for their pay section or sell me some product, but more often than not it is a golf tip.

The tip they sent today was from Martin Hall (of the Golf Channel’s School of Golf), and it was a simple way of thinking about the downswing.  John Jacobs, one of Martin’s greatest influences, had a short six word phrase to teach the downswing: “Out of the way and underneath.”.

“Out of the way” means to get your hips out of the way, and “underneath” is to turn your right shoulder underneath.  Martin explains it much better. If you want to watch the video, you can find it >>HERE<<.

I found this tip in my inbox today from Golf Channel.  Martin Hall says people like imagine pulling a rope, or ringing a bell, when they start their downswing, and this is a huge mistake.  What they feel is that they are pulling with their left arm, but what they are really doing is pulling with their lead side.
