Re: Having trouble dropping into the slot.

Thats what I try and do on transition (i.e pull the club down without turning the shoulders) but the absolute key for me is to do this slowly and feel like I am accelarating the club into impact. The hit from the top impulse is something I have to fight constantly

Im learning to simply concentrate only on retaining my wrist angle at the start. This means theres no pulling or forcing but gravity and the hip movment will get he club started downwards. From there I kind of just catch it up and then have a full release of my hands and right side. If you do it right you can release as hard as you want. The other thing I really have to counter is letting the left hip move turn into a slide thus tilting me too far backwards wherby I block the ball. Again this is something I have to constantly fight against
