Thoughts on Body Rotation Leading to Less Shallowing / Out to in Path


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've been hitting my irons pretty good lately, with a baby draw. I also work with the Dewiz sometimes and with video to see what the club is doing and in general the club path looks okay I think.

However, lately im trying to rotate much to see more of the 2 back pockets at impact. To be fair im probably over-rotating or rotate too early in practice now (hopefully I'll find a good middle-ground eventually).

However, I notice that the club path becomes worse and less shallow, since more rotation just forces the club outwards I think? It might just be a timing issue as well, not sure.

Just wondering if someone knows any instructional video on this topic or has any ideas on this topic,

Not sure about all the things you are mentioning about your swing specifically, but in terms of the general topic of "shallowing," and how it relates to arm movement and body movement, the above link is excellent.

In general, yes, getting open more or sooner can lead to pulling the club out earlier and across the ball (left, for a righty).

    • We do not buy extended warranties. We will use one of our credit cards for the purchase that extends the warranty "x 2". Our thoughts are: a. if the item is a lemon, it will likely break right away and we can attempt to apply the original warranty or credit card extension. b. over the long haul, we will probably save more money by not purchasing the extended warranty and fixing/junking broken items out of our own pocket. The important thing is to keep some records of purchases so one may make a claim under the manufacturer's warranty. I recently sent back some Footjoy shoes for leaking and Footjoy did a reat job of making the claim process work very well. I had the original receipt, warrant info and box. Easy peasy.

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.
