Re: What Is Your Most Troubling Swing Error?

I dont suffer with too much myself - my main fault being maybe swing arc slightly behind the ball resulting in slight thin or fat shots, but no more than human error can account for.

i do coach golf however and the main problmes i see is the shaft leaning back - stemming from casting. Also included in this fault is the reverse weight shift - but all of these things have one commonality.

Often it is just the players concept of impact - either conscious or subconsciously - instinctively. Players try to get under and lift the ball and the body responds accordingly with the above faults. The way to change them all in one go is to change the idea of how to his the ball - hit DOWN onto the ball compressing it between the face and turf (at least the feeling anyway). You find a whole host of swing thoughs go away once this can be acheived. If you try to fix each indicidual fault howver, you are in for a tough and long ride - analogous to shutting one door only for two more to open

I am the same as Bill. If I get off to a bad start or things begin to deteriorate I can normally track it down to tempo, I will be speeding up my backswing and transition in these cases. When I notice this I take a few minutes when possible to make a few swings with my feet together while focusing on a nice smooth takeaway and a pause at the top, it normally gets me back on track.

Block & Push

Great Post.

Mine would be a block or a push. Although saying that if I hit one or two during a round I can usually fix the problem pretty quick now. I tend to become disconnected with the right arm and shoulder which causes an outside to inside swing path.

It doesn't cause a terrible shot but usually at worst a little bit right of the target. But when you are playing off a low handicap it is enough to cause some irritation.

I focus on staying connected with the right arm and shoulder and usually I can produce a nice straight or draw ball flight.

Me too (see Monday's round ), generally when things go wrong its because my backswing is quick (and steep) and my transition rushed.

Sometimes, however, things are going well and out of the blue (often when faced with a tight shot with accuracy at a premium) I just cut across it, - aaargh it's so frustrating.
