Swing Issues

Ok guys,

Here is the break down. I am a straight range rat. I shoot 81-85's all day at the course, but never break 80...Also, my left wrist usually hurts at times. Doctors say tendinitis, I say a bad impact zone.

I will try to get another good video made when I can. We have a tornado watch so I prefer not to be outside...

My ball striking is very inconsistent on the course and a lot of times on the range also...The less loft there is, the more I normally hit solid shots (assuming from the flat back swing), but the more likely I will hit a snap hook

My Misses are :
- A high weak fade
- A LOT of thin shots. A few blades, and rarely chunks.
- As the loft decreases, my misses are basically banana hooks
- Also, I have a very flop like ball flight

Here is what i concluded from my video I made quickly(battery died, will post the video as soon as it charges.)
- Too far of a back swing
- Over the top (divots point straight left a lot)
- Left wrist cups at impact (hence the high flop like trajectory) Easily losing 5-10yrds on my clubs.
- VERY flat mid-way through the back swing


Now here is what I've done in the last 15mins:
- More wrist cock instead of just rolling my arms over each other. This so far has shortened my back swing and made it a lot more on plane. So I will keep practicing that.
- In regards to the over the top down swing, I've been working on starting the swing with hips instead of shoulders/arms. That's a working progress.
- Too far of a back swing, like I said the wrist cock is helping me limit that and actually looks really good at the top.
- Left wrist cups at impact . Here is where I never really practiced or tried to learn... What is a good way to practice keeping that left arm straight at the target instead of cupping it? Recommend techniques or even devices I can buy.
- Thin shots, I didn't really have a lot of knee flex, when means if I would stand up just a little at impact, I'd thin it. Well I've been bending the knees just a little more and it's been helping with better contact on the club.


Sorry for the long post. Basically I am looking at how to keep that left wrist straight at impact. That's my main goal right now.

Video would help, but this drill will help a lot of people:
