Re: full swing

Alex,


Try and get some width in your swing, take the club away low and slow and have a very conscious feeling of getting the hands away from the body and cocking the wrists once you get the club shaft to the horizontal.

Dont rush things just let the swing go back naturally to the top, taking care not to let the clubhead fall over the left shoulder (overswing and loss of clubhead control usually leading to a huge push slice) On the way back down have the feeling of hitting through the ball with your right hand, this should hopefully bring everything back to the ball.

The most important thing to remember is to fully complete the follow through. A lot of people who worry about the backswing totally ignore the follow through because they beleive that not to be the problem.

Bear in mind that the follow through influences the downswing, if you have the intent to complete a full follow through, wrapping the club round yourself at the end, then you will attack the ball much better on the way down.
