What causes a steep golf swing?
Instead of the club working around your body, it works up to the sky and back down the the ground. The club gets more vertical in the downswing and creates a negative angle of attack, resulting in hitting down on the ball severely and taking bigger divots.

How do I shallow my driver swing?
To shallow the golf club, you need to use the trail arm and wrists to move the club shaft from a steep position to a shallow position, more horizontal to the ground.

What does a flat golf swing cause?
A flat shoulder turn can cause the club to be out of position on the backswing and creates a shift in swing planes on the downswing which reduces the efficiency of the motion. As a result the player will usually have to make compensations on the downswing with the body or hands to square the club face consistently.
Is the driver swing the same as irons?
Iron swings must drive down into the ball so that the loft of the club does the work to get the ball off the ground. Driver swings should approach the ball with a slightly upward attack angle, launching the ball up off the tee for maximum carry and distance.
Is shaft pitch irrelevant?
It’s not that shaft pitch is irrelevant, just that it doesn’t define how steep the club attacks the ball. Again, angle of attack refers to whether the club is approaching the ball on a very downward angle (steep, or negative), level (shallow) or upward (positive) trajectory.
Does a shallow shaft produce a steeper angle of attack?
So, a shallower shaft actually produced a steeper angle of attack and a left swing path. This is not to say a steep shaft at the start of the swing automatically produces this impact (or vice versa), but it is just to say we should be careful when assuming that a steep shaft is producing a steep impact, or vice versa.
