I felt like I could turn REALLY hard and DOWN into the ball. Also noticed that by driving the inside of my left foot hard into the ground, my spine angle stayed constant. I focused on rotating my hips/core, and the arms just came along for the ride. No flipping, no thin/lifted shots. Just solid compression.
Hit the artifical green with my 8i 10 times in a row, all carry. So that 152-154 yard 8i's, all carry. Once I got used to the motion, it felt almost effortless. If you rotate/turn hard enough to start the swing, AND KEEP TURNING, the arms/hands will "lag." They have to. If you keep turning, they just can't physically "catch up." The only way they will "catch up" is if you stop turning. You will "flip" your arms & hands through the ball. The results are pulls, fat shots, and other ugly things we don't like  |
Effortless Power. Feels great doesnt it
.. if only we could bottle it !
When I was learning it felt like I was swinging way to the left .. but I wasnt .. I was turning all the way through. Before (like you) I turned and then flipped my hands. I decided that I had to keep turning ( all the low handicappers I play with bascially all said the same thing). I started down that road and still had my a flip which equalled huge pulls. I kept at it and just turned even harder and focused on keeping the hands passive and the left wrist flat. I didnt care about OTT or in the slot or whatever .. just 'always be turning'. After a while it started to click and when I was hitting 8i 155 yards with no hands just a turn the light really came on for me
