Re: Nothing over 200 yards

Hi Pal
A common swing flaw, but one that is easy to cure, is CASTING. when we cast ,what we are doing in effect is releasing the cluhead too early in the downswing this causes DECELLERATION through impact which leads to a loss of distance.
Try this pump drill.
from the top of the backswing, slowly bring your arms down as you normally would towards impact while maintaining the angles in your wrists(wristcock). Try to maintain these angles until the clubshaft is paralell to the floor. Now , slowly, take your arms back up to the top of your backswingand repeat 3 or 4 times, then swing through to a finish .Repeat this drill until you get a real good feel for maintianing your angles and delaying your release through impact.
I hope this is of help to you. you will soon notice a big improvement in your overall distance

Good luck
Aft
