Ryder Cup Winner
So after struggling with a bit of constancy of late I opted for a quick video lesson to see what's going on, good days are great bad days can be shocking, so I gathered now is the right time to get it sorted.
The diagnostics were quick to work out, yet again I'm fanning away flat on take away with a strong grip causing me to get very flat at the top with a closed club face. In the effort to save it I throw it slightly at the top to try and get back on plain then do a lot of rescuing with the hands before impact... This paired with firing of the hips generally gives some majorly inconsistent results as you would expect.
After addressing the grip issues the pro suggested taking away outside the line or as steep as possible, then allowing the club to drop in at the top of the swing so that I can power from the inside. Within 10/20 balls this was working well and we also looked at getting the shoulders through the ball at impact (covering the ball) instead of falling off it.
We worked on a few drips to get this feeling one being placing a ball in line with the ball you want to strike but around 18 inches behind it, going back outside of that ball then dropping in and striking from the inside of it.
It's works well and I suppose to a degree is a more extreme version of bobs head cover drill, but my question is does anyone else have any drills that maybe worth ago.
Lucky enough when doing these with the 3 bays I can see instantly if what we are doing is working or not, but yet again I seem to be battling the same issues that I do at the end of every season. Granted the difference being that I normally fix it over November and December, get a bit lax and then it creeps in slowly over the course of the season resulting in always finishing the season in poor form....
Any help appreciated,
