Whiffed today

[xmanhockey7]

Been working hard on my swing and it's been getting better. My problem has been I have a lot of "vertical movement" in my swing. It allows me to hit the ball high but I have inconsistencies and have trouble hitting the ball low. Well today the guy I've been working with my swing on is having me make a pretty big change to my swing. To keep it simple I'm changing my sequence in my swing and working on getting my wrists into a better position coming into the ball to allow me to make a more "horizontal movement". While working on this I hit many thin shots, one I completely topped about 10 feet, and another I actually missed completely.

What I'm trying to get at here is that sometimes it gets worse before it gets better (sadly). I realize this change is going to take me awhile to get down but I know if I practice it enough it's going to allow me to hit the ball more consistently and further.

ETA: I'm not a horrible player. Like my "handicap index" says I'm a 4-5. I'm in the 70s fairly consistently.

I am not doing exacly what you are doing, but I made a pretty big change that did not feel right at all. first couple rounds were not the best but after swinging like that for a while it felt more natural and was able to get my club on the right swing path.
