Phew!!! Though this might be about an accident

I'm sure i saw a video before about this and the tip was to imagine there was a piece of timber about a foot in front of the ball, the aim was to smash the timber hard, this in turn makes you accelerate through the ball. Not sure now but sort of makes sense.

I've had a few close calls trying to exert more power . I'll try your drill next time out . thanks.
ps if you would like a game at b/hill . let me know . we can get hendo back and make a 4 ball , hopefully he can do better:rofl: . cheers

The problem tends to be coming down fast from the top then slowing down through impact. I think the simplest way to fix it is to just think of your downswing as having a start and finish. One over your right shoulder and the second over your left shoulder. Make sure you get to both of them.

I'll give it a try , but my old body is trying to protect itself, by not turning fully . I thought maybe there was some indoor routines i could try . btw Your last two sentences took me back donkeys , if you get my drift. cheers

The old 'hit the imaginary ball 6 inches in front of the real one' helps. Also a deliberately shorter back-swing - fools the brain into thinking it has to swing further.

Flipping/Early Release is the big danger that 'quitting' on it can bring. Thinking 'back over the bowler's head' can be good for cricket swings, though 'cover drive' is not good - as it's the 'quit' - and cricket thoughts are generally bad thoughts for golf.

How many innuendos can you have,

Innuendos? Apart from the obvious one with the thread title, I can't see any.

As for 'swing thoughts'/analogies. It's a case of finding one that works (for you!) and using that one.
