Good Connection???

Howdy

A lot of what I read about on the site deals with mechanics of the swing.

My question deals with drills or concepts that produce consist connection with the ball at impact. I know the question may seem a little naive, as solid swing mechanics & practice play such a big part

Recently I started working on tempo and timming with practicing a count through back and throughswing. It helped. If you have something simple to try for connection I'd love to give it a whirl.

Thanks......Sparky

Hi Sparky,

I have a drill that might help you. Bring the grip of the club up to your chest and grip down on the shaft. Take a slow backswing and through swing. You will feel and see the club in front of you. This will help you get connected.

The connection check point I use is if the left arm gets ahead of the chest on the through swing it can cause this to happen. Another way to check, (this may sound funny but it works), Take a left hand grip on the club no right hand, take a few easy swings. Then put your right index finger in your navel. Take a few swings and check to see if your navel is stopped anywhere in the swing. If it stops, check that location for the disconnected feeling.

I just need to confirm a few details with this drill. When you talk about bringing the club up to your chest are you refering to having the club at right angles to your body (out front) or a normal back swing stopping with the arms crossing the chest?

Also the left hand drill finger on the navel, I'm not sure of?

Maybe a simple sketching tool would prove handy incorporated in the reply section?
