Yesterday I had a lesson and it would seem the same old faults are back in my set up which is leading to the erratic scores that I have been seeing.
Out of no where it would seem yet again I'm left hand strong (right handed player) I'm set up, this is leading to a closed face at the top meaning I'm coming in and having to fall back from the swing in order get save the shot and keep the ball going straight, it's funny as looking back over the past three months my main misses seem to be hooky so the pro's analysis seems to be correct.
We first tried getting the left hand in a neutral position but what happened next was quite weird, every time we get my hand in a neutral position, my forearm literally tenses up solid meaning it's impossible to grip the club at all. There were other underlying faults which are the same faults as always, too much wrist action in the back swing, straight to the inside on takeaway couple this with a strong grip and being **** at the top means a lot of action in the down swing that wastes power and requires a lot of timing to get the save working, get it right and it's a slight push get it wrong and it's either a snapper or a cut..... :sbox:
The pro has got me working solely on takeaway, getting back to waist height , ensuring its toe up to keep in neutral and assures me that the grip being slightly **** at the top is not going to be an issue if I get the takeaway issues sorted.
My question is I need to look at some pros DTL who play with a strong grip or a shutish face at the top if nothing more than to cement the faith that my pro has me going down a worth while route,
So,,, who else of the tour lads plays with any of the above symptoms , and also anyone else on the forum have these issues and how have they managed them,
