Originally Posted by Mitchdoc Well Winter in Canada is coming to an end and my course might open in a few weeks so it is time to try to get my swing into shape. I am a 6 hcp who fights pushed and hooks but is generally a pretty good ball striker with a mediocre short game. I have been videoing my swing and there are things I don't like: I feel like I might have a bit of a flat shoulder turn and often a too long swing which crosses the line at the top. I also collapse my arms and lose my width. I have heard about extensor action a zillion times but when doing it I feel so tight and unnatural that my ballstriking suffers tremendously in terms of contact and distance. My goals aren't to have a picture perfect swing but to tighten it up and become more consistent. I am providing a link to some video I shot today to illustrate my problems. I only was able to shoot down the line. I would appreciate feedback (both positive & Negative ) and drillls. I consider myself more of a swinger though have dabbled in hitting but fee I lose distance with the longer clubs. Mitch Check if you have "chicken wings" through impact on a face-on shot. A regular hacker "steers" the shot to the target and creates all kinds of problems. A highly talented hacker still "steers" the shot to the target, but creates not so much problems, clubface (open for pushes and close for hooks) mainly in your case. To solve the problem, swing, don't hack!!! __________________ Yani Tseng, Go! Go! Go! Yani Tseng Did It Again! YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact. "Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一). The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command". "Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life. Think as a golfer, execute like a robot. Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft. bts View Public Profile Send a private message to bts Find all posts by bts
