I also like Mr Scheinblum's video and swing insight.

Since I made the switch, I've only played 18 holes once. The rest have been 9 holes after work (3,5 and 6 over)

Played 18 last weekend for the 1st time and played 9 over. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

the driver is the main thing holding me back. I was 3 over though 14 holes on Sunday. granted it was two thinned bunker shots that cost me a nice cut in the end up.

its ultimately the driver that is causing me most grief! hit it ok on sunday.

I would say it's the same for most amateur golfers Gary.

I drove the ball really well at the weekend, but I know if I don't get keep on top of it, it'll go bad real quick. If I get the set-up correct, I stand a better chance of getting the ball in play than if I don't

I've started looking at my game in a different light of late (... Something Hawkeye said a good while back) and it's been a revelation to me.

I know what I would change.........

Your pro!

Until you sort out your grip it is just going to be a constant battle of trying to compensate for other faults.

Level hips, level shoulders. Classic hallmark of the 1 plane swing.

I am more than likely putting in too much tilt. something I am definitely going to ask the pro about next that. that and grip.

possible, but going from no tilt spine at 90º to too much would be a little ways unusual.

have to find some time on the practice once you're in the right posture to be able to consistently hit it a ways left with the grip you have now, then just ease the right hand back counterclockwise a ways, so it sits more on top, make the same rotational swing that had it going left consistently & still aiming to swing into the inner back quarter of the ball.

easier to fix the posture which will help the swing path direction through into the inside back quarter & give yourself permission on the practice ground to get solid contact to hit everything left first, then move the right hand counterclockwise an 1&1/2" to 2" to straighten out the flight.

than in this case to try to fix the grip first without fixing the posture & path.

solid contact and it going left is what happens!


I more or less had the course to myself this evening. I was hitting multiple drives off a load of holes. I was trying this weakening of the right hand. I actually had the right hand on top and hit two good drives. just a tad of draw. ill keep working at it!
