[QUOTE name="iacas" url="/t/73759/need-help-hitting-behind-the-ball/18#post_978413"] A) they're not specifically ordered. B) key 3 affects 4 more than the opposite. ;-) Plus 3 is easier than 4. :-D [/QUOTE] Haha, okay. You're just saying that because of your A4.15. :-P "B" is surprising to me, but maybe it shouldn't be. I'll think about it.

As you start to lose the flat left wrist, and the handle backs up, this can send the path left................................... ...............or so I have read. I sounded pretty good for a minute there.

Yea it can, and usually does. Sadly for me, when I lose it, the face tends to close prematurely and my start lines get yanked left but still with draw curve.

I guess anything can happen really. If I get tired of starting it too far left, I tend to compensate by just cupping more and leaving the face open, so the push shows up too.

Bottomline, losing the flat left wrist ain't no fun. :-D

Bottom line for me, and also sadly, I don't think I ever had the flat left wrist....

Key 3 is Inline Impact. Stay with the times, guys. We changed it several months ago. :-)

Why couldn't you have a flat left wrist with a outside in path? Or am I confusing the meaning of key 4?

You could, there are definitely PGA Tour players that swing a little left but still achieve Key #3. That's a different discussion though. Generally achieving the first three Keys tends to produce an OUTward path, which is tends to be a beneficial swing direction for most golfers. There are some players that fade the ball but still swing "out", like Ryan Moore, Fred Couples. They just aim a good amount left at A1.

    • Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
