Brian Manzella, Golf Digest's #14-ranked teacher in America, and former touring pro Sam Osborne take apart the most persistent swing trend of the last decade: laying the club down. Where it hatched, who it might actually help, why the physics behind it doesn't hold up, and Brian's flat answer to whether anyone should try to shallow the shaft on the downswing.
Along the way: Hogan's real secret, the Ben Doyle flat left wrist confession, arch wrists jumping from 10% of golfers to 50%, and the 2D camera illusion that fools almost everyone.
