      He stepped there intentionally. He didn't trip, fall, and accidentally flatten the grass. Just like taking your stance in a bush or a tree… you take your stance in such places gingerly. You do not affect the CATS more than you have to in order to take a stance.

      My Swing (Nail)

      By Nail · Posted

      I've been Playing Golf for: 9 years My current handicap index or average score is: 8.3 My typical ball flight is: not sure tbh The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pull with irons, push fade driver Videos:  [Delete this, Embed Videos Here - https://thesandtrap.com/how-to/embed-videos/]   Hi guys, not sure if I did his correctly but I uploaded two photos, both at the top of the backswing. I am trying to reduce my overswing and open face pattern and I had a lesson a couple of years ago and these photos are from that lesson. The feel is a straight right arm and I have some good results when I stick with it, feels slightly slower and measures slower with no ball on a swing speed monitor in my yard, however on course irons go just as far, driver is probably more accurate when I stick with it but doesn’t always go as far even though I have hit 300 plus with it at times.    My question is do you think it looks better? Has enough wrist set/hinge at the top? Should I stick with it?
