Basic Motion questions
Thanks in advance to all. A little about my swing. I have been playing for over 20years and have always been a flipper and thus consistency has suffered. I can't remember if ever I got true compression. I know I did sometimes with punches under tress out of the rough etc..But I never realized then that to fix the flip I must have flat left wrist and bent right wrist. Impact alignment is so crucial.
I am on all the major forums and have all of Brian Manzella's videos but just can't get past the flip in my full swing, although I am getting better. I have the Tour Stiker and Jeff Evan's pure ball striker to help me out.
I have my degree in Exercise Physiology , so I really enjoy all the TGM talk and theory. I have watched nearly all the videos on here and have watched Lynn's lesson with Collin also.

So on to my question. I went at lunch today and probably did about 100 basic motion shots with 8, PW, 60'. I got in exaggerated impact fix and tried to only go 2 back and 2 through.
Tried to freeze that bent right wrist and really feel PP3 and PP1. At first it was difficult I was hitting some squirters off to the right, then I realized that I was getting into impact I was actually opening my clubface so I fixed that and the squirters stopped.

I still at times hit behind the ball but the last half of the session got much better as I felt like I was heel punching with my right hand, keeping the PP's all there and trying to keep that flying wedge in tact. It felt like I was more aggressive down to the ball. I started hearing these click sounds off the clubface, I assume that's right? Hitting the ball first? Almost all the shots were vertical hinging as that just seemed natural for basic motion. I can tell you that my right elbow and arm are sore right now. I didn't see any major divots , am I supposed to in basic motion? However , I did have grass up to say the 4th groove on the face.

Does this all sound good? And what could be the cause of those occasional squirters to the right? I know that when I hit behind the ball I was probably losing my angles. Any help is greatly appreciated as I begin my journey to actually start hitting the ball the correct way.

thanks
Joe
