My swing feels tight, not loose a free swinging like a practice swing or range. Its like I am hitting AT the ball and not swinging THRU the ball. I feel tense and tend to pull my arms across my body to the left because I am trying to keep my armpits connected through the swing to prevent slice, etc. I am rotating toward the target, so I feel good about that. My finish has my chest facing my target.

Is there a drill or swing thought to prevent this alligator arm syndrome? I tried imagining swinging to first base, to prevent the cutting across my body and try to swing more toward the target and let momentum bring me around to finish, but just doesn't seem to work.

Thanks

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 2 (4 Apr 25) - played in the weekly men’s group shootout.  Decent day off the tee and most longer approaches.  Wedges from 70-80 out were off, but green side work was good. Overall a fun day with the crew.

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By xrayvizhen ·

      $50??? You're not serious, I'm sure. The only thing a $50 driver will be good for is to whip your horse  as you're rounding the far turn heading into the home stretch. Seriously, go to a big box store. They all have used clubs up the wazoo and you should be able to find clubs at a reasonable price. Also, talk to the guys there. You'll be able to tell just by conversing with them which ones are interested in helping you and will provide good advise. Those companies are usually pretty good about weeding out the bad apples who are only interested in making a quick sale. The commission the big box stores pay is so miniscucle anyway that sales guys are usually brand agnostic.

      At What Point Should I Begin Looking to Upgrade My Clubs?

      By xrayvizhen ·

      Strata are decent clubs for newbies, usually furnished in a complete boxed set, with putter and bag. They're an excellent way to get going in the game and to see if you want to stick with it. If you don't, you're not out too much money but if you want to progress, you should get fit and buy better clubs with newer technology that will help you out. Most places I know of (ie: Golf Galaxy / PGA Store) charge you for the fitting which is then credited back to you when you buy the clubs, so it's essentially free. (I know GG does that...not sure about PGA.) Once you have clubs that fit you rather than you having to maybe contort yourself to fit the clubs (depending on your height/arm length/swing characteristics) you can progress and get better. Ultimately though, as the saying goes, "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian."
