My Swing (Williamevanl)

[Williamevanl]

After struggling for many weeks in every way imaginable everything seemed to just click recently. I hit a lot of partial wedges early spring in my yard and I got really comfortable with the ball up in my stance, a fuller slow back swing and swinging flatter and keeping my head behind the ball.

It's always hard to describe how a swing feels but the best I can is I went from trying to work down the target line to feeling like I was trying to slide the club horizontally under the ball (like you would with a 60 degree wedge that you are trying to hit soft) (I know you aren't supposed to try to get 'under' the ball but that's the feel)

I've also got hell bent on keeping my head behind the ball although I've always felt like there was no way from me to hit 'down' on the ball unless my head was in front of the ball. Knowing that my intuition was wrong I just played through how strange it felt and found that I really started to get the club bottoming out in front of the ball without to much conscious effort.

Soooo, after hitting the ball like crap I thought to myself to just keep the ball up in my stance and hit everything like I"m hitting a wedge and BAM! :P I feel like I'm striping everything with a long, high push draw and it's awfully consistent (for now :)

I'm still having issues with a follow through I'm happy with, I don't understand how that 'smooth club working left and up follow through' works. I also have some issue keeping my spine angle and will occasionally pull back just enough to toe shots.

Any helpful criticism is appreciated, thanks!
