Yo, back again after much work syncing arms and body with the long sticks. Yesterdays 9 hole round was the best I have played this year (4 pars, 9 over with still 2 balls lost!).

Thanks for your offer, Adam, but I am quite happy with my in-to-out swing path. It is more about club face control. Forgot which of the 5SKs that was.

Last round saw just a couple of 10yard pushes plus one bigger push slice.

My push-slice fix for the round for the tee shot:

A practice swing with the focus of ...

  • keeping the arms and body in sync,
  • holding the right (back) hand wrist hinge throughout impact,
  • straightening the right (back) arm throughout impact, not before.

The 3W flies like a charm with around 200 yard carry now, the D turned from a big push slice to low hooks. Video shows that I am currently rotating my hands/arms and closing the club face doing so. Don't know why, back to hitting punch shots.

The other day I hit punch shots with the driver off the mat. After 10mins full shots off the mat flew straight with some draws and got up to 35 feet high. Taking a 8i lead to notable length. Looks like that is my drill to get the driver going.

Huh, am still bad at extending thru impact - but thats another matter.

      Yes.  Did he not hit the range before the round? When my first few pre-round drives aren't what I expect, the first thing I check is my driver settings, in case they changed.  I am on my second adjustable driver and I am still not trusting that golf gremlins don't change it between rounds. The second thing I check is my alignment and setup, and that is far more often the culprit than my settings. In any case, there are some simple things that I imagine should be on a professional player's pre-round checklist that I am surprised when they aren't.  One of those is the settings for any adjustable clubs.

      It was also set at B1 at a previous event, and… so there's dubiousness around whether he's telling the truth (again).
