Bit of a Push...

[ritchieis]

Hey, looking for some free advice please..

Was at the range last night having "adjusted" my swing slightly in order to rid myself of inconsistency - it has worked....I am now consistently pushing the ball stright right!!!

I was with a mate who suggested that I was not keeping my weight on the right handside for long enough at the top of the backswing before transition. I took this into account and it seemed to help. Does this sound feasible??

The annoying thing was I was making good contact and felt the swing was "almost there" just happened to be going straight right!!!

Comments appreciated...

Are you sure you weren't just aiming right?

Thanks,

I felt parralel to target line and used a club on the deck to check position of feet. However I guess my shoulders could still have been poining eastwards?

Is there any easy way to make sure your alignment is spot on?

Get a friend to place a club along your shoulders before you hit to check.

If you are pushing straight right then you're correct.. your swing IS almost there.

My suggestion: you're keeping your weight on the right side for too long
You need to get your swingpath more out-to-in so that the ball draws back in... hanging back on your right side won't achieve that.

Have you heard of the V-Easy?

I'd give anything to push the ball a little every time. From there, I'd either grip it stronger or quicken up my hands through the ball.

f.w.i.w. I say forget all the weight business, learn to get it closer to square and ENJOY!!!
