[O.B.Left]

4) No pivot through impact - allows hands to move through first and the clubface to close (shots go right) - you've offset that with the trail wrist scooping through - shouldn't be facing that much skyward after impact (however that makes the ball go more left offsetting the pivot stopping that creates the right shot. So you get a straight shot - sometimes.

This is a great diagnosis in my opinion, of whats going on right at the moment of truth. With the reason for it mechanically . Cause and effect followed by a compensation. Namely a Pivot stall causing the face to close which is compensated for by Steering a little scoopy Vertical Hinge. Which when timed right will get you a straight shot but with a loss of compression due to the layback of Vertical Hinging/Steering. When not timed correctly you'll miss it both ways ......the tell tale sign of a compensated motion. Something that happens to us all. But knowing the root cause will help you cause you'll tend to revisit this same business over and over. Believe me.

Maybe I got Mike O. wrong I dont know but thats the way it looks to my eyes anyways. The correction being the effort to try to hit shots that start (for you) left and then draw back to the middle. That will fix your Path and your Hinge Action. Inside out approach (as opposed to an inside stroke, cross line stroke) with Horizontal Hinging.


You will find easy power this way. Total compression. Or your money back from Mike. O.
