I'll follow your advice and swing naturally, which is pretty aggressive from the top and fix my flaws as much as I can.

Oh, I don't know what "geometry at A4" mean... but I'll google it.

My swing is naturally steeper. Trackman says : Out to in 1*  and in to out 1* . I honestly don't know what the ideal degree is supposed to be.

Your swing thread: http://thesandtrap.com/t/48196/my-swing-sai-jin#post_754777

Read up on the 'D-Plane'.  Or simply watch this really solid video:

Based on the Ball Flight Law's and understanding the D-Plane.... Then on Trackman you'll understand the numbers that they are giving you.

For instance...

Driver - if you want to hit it straight.  Path will be slightly positive.

And you should have a a slightly positive angle of attack to hit it further.

- If you want to hit a Draw - then the path should be further to the right (positive).

- If you want to hit a Fade - ten the path should be further to the left (negative or zero).

Irons - pretty much the same with regard to path as the driver which I highlighted above.

But on an iron - it is better to hit down and have a negative angle of attack.

A4 is the top of the back swing.  Use this for reference...

At A4 - learn how to get a square clubface.  Then monitor pressure point #3 and you should be able to keep the club on plane and hit some solid shots.

Thank you for the post, Beach.

I'll study it.

to be clear, A4 is the wrist or the entire thing? I was told that my backswing is pretty much perfect according to multiple Pros.

Hey Beach ... where can I get irons like that?  Are those the new Callaways?  I think they are called "Gigantic Gertrude's??"

A4 isn't referring to a specific body part, just a specific moment in time.

    • I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...  
    • Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target. 
    • Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver. 
    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
