I go back and forth because I want a more consistent swing, doesn't everybody, but mainly because I'm a shorter player - 5"7 - so a rotational swing is supposed to give us little guys a bit more power - I just can't seem to find an instructor in my area who teaches this swing and that is why I go away from it - because I can't figure out my own mistakes. |
Matt, what I would say is dont go the whole Hardy route. If you look at someone like Quinton who peddles this stuff his setup/swing is nothing like Hardys. He has a swing more like Tiger or Vijay .. quite conventional actually .. just teaches a body pivot on the downswing. In his world rotation=hit the ball wth your pivot
Just take a normal swing where you turn your shoulders level but feel left arm connection. You will/should lift the arms a little (momentum takes them up a bit) so you end on the shoulder plane (i.e left arm level with shoulder) and a flat left wrist
Then turn through the ball - really turn. Dont slide. Play about to see how best you feel it. Off the right foot, turn the hips, chest to the target whatever, just keep turning. Now see where you ball is going. If its going left check your grip and your clubface at the top. If thats all good then its a flip at release just work hard on keeping the hands passive at impact - drag the flat left wrist through to the left
This is my advice based on what I did .. might not work but maybe worth a try? You have to stick with it too .. be prepared to go left for a while if youve been a caster/flipper
What do you feel your mistakes are? What are your bad shots going this route?
