When I forget about everything and just go use my old self made swing, I use to be able to usually hit my wedges through my 7 about where I want them to go. My 6-driver all sliced right. But at least I was hitting the ball in the right direction. My natural original swing hit the ball with my left arm and I was told I never "fired through" which got me a ton of easy power.
The different swings I've been shown all do similar things with the body, but all at different times. Some had the body shifting/turning before impact like in this video and some had the body still using the hands for power and letting the follow through shift the weight. The grips, release, and hand of control were all different. Only two swings of the 4-5 had me firing through powering the ball with my right hand with sort of a sweeping motion. One guy referred to it as swinging a big knife through the ground and slicing some grass in the direction you want the ball to go. Also talked about as pushing the ball with your right hand. Both somewhat using the ball on my right hand below my index finger as the power point in the right hand.
I know something screwing me up is the angle of my club head. I just don't want to go to a fitter without having any idea of what my swing I want to stick with should look like. But, I know I need the angle adjusted.
I appreciate you veteran golfers taking the time to read this stuff and respond, as I'm sure it seems pretty stupid and novice to the majority of the people here. It's the only place I have to ask a good golfer these types of questions.
Here's a couple of other questions that might fit in there:
Do you swing the same with your high and low number irons, as well as your driver?
Do you set up with the ball in the same place every time, or different places. Meaning the high # irons have the ball further towards your back foot and the lower the # on the iron, the ball moves forward. I know you are supposed to have it on your front heel with the driver, but one swing coach told me to have the ball right in the middle all of the time.
thanks again
