My swing keys

[Leftie_power]

I don't know about other golfers, but i work on all of my swing, but I try and work on these things the most, Get the club in the slot, impact and then releasing the heck out of it.

I have three common flaws, and when I get in a slump it's usually one of these things.

1. Hand position at the top. I've written about it here several times, but I sometimes get "lazy" - my hands are practically resting on my shoulders at the top of the backswing. BAD, very bad.

2. Grip, ball position, posture - I consider the fundamentals important and I think they should be on everyone's list because everyone gets out of touch with the fundamentals at one time or another.

3. Weight shift - sometimes I don't start behind the ball. If I focus on starting behind the ball and just turning, this gets better.

I can play good golf with one of these things out of sync sometimes, which makes detecting the true problem a week or two later difficult sometimes, but when something is wrong, it's almost always one of those three things, and checking them (usually I go to video tape if I can't feel which one is out of sync) is the fastest way to get me back on track.

We're gonna have a new column soon where you can send us your video tape (.mov files or something) and we can analyze it. We have two ready to go... if you're interested in sending it to us before we run the first one, let me know.
