And I'm hitting the ball better than I ever have.
I've been working on setting my wrists properly and holding the angle through impact. Not fighting to keep the wrists set, but certainly not actively using may hands. This is what I've spent time with my coach learning.
The other thing my coach pointed out was that I fan the face wide open on the backswing. (A little too much AJ, I think). The problem? I never seemed to want to fan it closed again. So I blocked a ton of shots out to the right.
Since working on a good impact position (wrist set), and NOT rolling my forearms open on the backswing, I'm not losing balls right anymore. In fact, I've gotta watch for when my hands DO get active during impact, the ball goes left.
The other thing that my coach mentioned was that I would practice getting 'stuck'. I'd have a tendency to get the club stuck on my hip (rather than in front of my body). Between solving that problem and solving the rolling forearms, I've been hitting the ball well. By well, I mean at my target. I have no idea what my distances are. I think they may be a little shorter than pre-rebuild... but I don't care. I'd rather have a short lazer than a long spraygun (unlike SmashFactor1.55 - who's honesty I appreciate). I'm told that distance will come as I get more and more comfortable swinging the club properly.
Just had to share.
