I've always struggled with a push shot. I've worked forever trying to understand why. I concluded it was because I was hitting the ball with an open clubface but whatever I did, I couldn't correct it. It was all very frustrating.

As an experiment I tried moving my hands back about 6 inches at setup. It looks crazy and a few people are saying stuff like - "I don't know how you
can hit the ball ?" - It's like an opposite to a forward press.

The results have been amazing !

My whole swing feels 100% better !
I'm in the correct position at the top, the club isn't open anymore. I feel more balanced and my shots are powerfull and straight. I've started hitting a controlled fade, a shot I could never do.

I've hit 37 fairways on the trot over the last few rounds and a gross 72 on Sunday in the Medal. My Dad who is an expert on my swing says my new setup looks strange but I don't "twist my hands" like I used to.

I hope it lasts !
