Range again today, as before started with the shanks! Just cannot get my normal swing into position at the top without strain on the shoulder and causing pain that goes right through it and down my right pec, as a result I don’t complete the swing which then causes me to move toward the ball causing massive heel strikes and shanks. Even with the driver it’s causing me to hit it so far near the heel it’s barely on the club face at all!
So went back to wedges hitting them in a more stacked manner, no weight shift to the right and more of a downward turn or “tilt of the left shoulder some lovely crisp strikes and worked up through the bag just continuing that feel and with a more Fleetwood style follow through which wasn’t intentional just how the swing pattern naturally turned out. Must say it definitely needs work and refining but was getting some really good strikes more often than not with a little push draw which is my preference anyway. Worked up to the driver and was a little inconsistent but trying to adjust set up on that is a very different feel, but when I got it right the flight was a nice strong one.
So maybe I need to go down that rabbit hole of a complete change to everything I’m used to of being a feel player with a natural swing and have a mini rebuild with a style I always ridiculed
. Not ideal especially as it’s a new season and first game at the new club this weekend but I want to play pain free and for a long time rather than not playing at all. So down the rabbit hole further tonight on YouTube and range Friday to see what I can do.
