Thanks to fellow forum member down the hatch, I tried out a new swing today, if you youtube it it's Jim Venetos golf.
Basically it's pre setting the impact position and swinging round it.
I struggle with weight transfer being a left playing right I just cant get onto my left side in time and end up casting the club, ball goes straight left.
Well I thought I'd get a bucket of balls and try something new, armed with my 7 iron and wedge I set up as per the instruction. Feels weird, hit a few an nothing too destructive, hit a few more and it's becoming more comfortable, not seeing any real distance gain.
I hit around 40 balls then out of nowhere bang 5 yard draw with 10 yards more distance, then one after the other as it became more comfortable I was able to go after each one, the sound off the club face was something I've not really heard that often.
Yes I hit a few hooky ones but nothing more than normal for me.
The wedge play was also working well with the system, chipping may take a bit of work but it's early days.
Has any one else tried this? though it was worthy of a new thread. Some other people say it's basically stack and tilt but I've never used that before so can't compare.
Next step is to try it in the long irons and woods, here's hoping not for some miracle but just some consistency.
