Been ages since I last posted but I've been busy working on my impact position.

I took someones advice on here (I think it was JetFan, (thanks JetFan)) and looked up Evolvr. With the help from Stephan at Evolvr we have been trying to get my hands further foward at impact and consequently a flatter left wrist.

I have to say this has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to work on in my swing. I think it's been 3 months of work now but I am really starting to see some benefit in my ball striking.

Here is my latest video from a face on angle.

It is easier to see the improvements in these comparison pictures.

As you can see some definite improvements.

The only thing is, I want to improve this even more. Ideally I want my hands to be more infront of my right thigh in the first picture and more in front of my left thigh in the second pictue.

I don't know if any of you guys have ever had problems working on this position and if so what drills, swing thoughts you used to achieve a better impact position?

I would love to hear any advice/feedback.

Thanks.

Dan.

Nice swing...your p6 looks like you are strangling a chicken...but I like it You have some strong hands..I definitely won't meet you in a dark alley

Like working on the swing,,score means nothing to me. Might just go to the range and give up playing... ( might happen)

Thanks the compliments, I think lol. My hands are a sore point (literally) at the moment. I've been suffering from 'trigger finger' tendonitis in both of them. I'm supposed to rest them but sod that wen there is golf to play :-)

Been doing some great work with Stephan from Evolvr.

We're working on trying to reduce the rate of closure and extension in my downswing and follow through as I tend to flip the club over too quickly casuing all manner of horrors.

This is my latest video, it's a drill I've been working on to slow down the 'roc' and increase my extension after impact.

Really getting the hang of the drill just need to put it into practice with my full swing now. I have already noticed an improvement in my shot dispersion, none of those nasty snap hooks for a while now :-) .

    • I'll say again… you have a different definition of "temporary" and "speed" than I do. For your handicap to go up FOUR shots means you were through the soft cap and approaching the hard cap. If you did it over 15 rounds (leaving five potentially lower scores), then you played REALLY bad golf over that stretch because it's likely that only three or four of the best of those 15 rounds were actually counted, so if the three or four best scores RAISED your handicap five shots (three at 100%, 2 at 50% once you hit the soft cap), then that's some BAD golf over an extended (not temporary) period of time. And here's the thing… play 15 good rounds, or even just EIGHT, and it'll DROP again, even faster. Handicaps still drop faster than they rise, not only because of the way we calculate it (best 😎 but because of the caps. Right… it's not like you're not needing the shots. You're playing really badly, and your handicap is still lagging behind your play.
