I have been struggling mightily since coming back to playing after a 5 year layoff. Shots have been going all over the place. I just got a new digital camera so I took it the range with me and figured out 2 huge things and saw some great results.
1) And most important. I was looking to see my right wrist angle at impact but what I noticed was at impact I could see the entire back of my left hand. I always assumed my grip was good, but I quickly realized this whole time it was too strong. Which was causing me to really flip through and be "handsy" in my swing . I weakened the grip to where my v's pointed to middle of right shoulder and saw IMMEDIATE good results. I mean, I don't think I have ever hit the ball this consistently straight or with a slight controlled fade at the end EVER. I normally would either hit a draw to a snap hook or not bee handsy enough and hit a huge push fade. all sorts of things. I hit over 100 balls with only about 5-10 really bad ones which is a huge improvement for me. I am so excited.
2) If you read my other thread, I had a stiff right leg which someone mentioned might cause me to reverse pivot. I did see a slight reverse pivot at the top, but that is not something I can just fix right away. I don't know if I am rp'ing for sure because I am a big ol strong country bred boy.
I am actually pretty happy with my swing but know I have some faults. I
I am definitely casting the club a bit and do not retain my right wrist angle, but my Secret is on the way
I will try to figure out how to post the video, but I am also going to try to post the pics of the grip.
GRRRRRRRRRRR, evidently I can't figure out how to do either one, and my 22 month old is climbing all over me so I don't have time to figure out right now.
