[QUOTE name="iacas" url="/t/73759/need-help-hitting-behind-the-ball/18#post_978413"] A) they're not specifically ordered. B) key 3 affects 4 more than the opposite. ;-) Plus 3 is easier than 4. :-D [/QUOTE] Haha, okay. You're just saying that because of your A4.15. :-P "B" is surprising to me, but maybe it shouldn't be. I'll think about it.

As you start to lose the flat left wrist, and the handle backs up, this can send the path left................................... ...............or so I have read. I sounded pretty good for a minute there.

Yea it can, and usually does. Sadly for me, when I lose it, the face tends to close prematurely and my start lines get yanked left but still with draw curve.

I guess anything can happen really. If I get tired of starting it too far left, I tend to compensate by just cupping more and leaving the face open, so the push shows up too.

Bottomline, losing the flat left wrist ain't no fun. :-D

Key 3 is Inline Impact. Stay with the times, guys. We changed it several months ago. :-)

Why couldn't you have a flat left wrist with a outside in path? Or am I confusing the meaning of key 4?

You could, there are definitely PGA Tour players that swing a little left but still achieve Key #3. That's a different discussion though. Generally achieving the first three Keys tends to produce an OUTward path, which is tends to be a beneficial swing direction for most golfers. There are some players that fade the ball but still swing "out", like Ryan Moore, Fred Couples. They just aim a good amount left at A1.

(Haha, thanks for editing that... I was really confused when it said "A3" instead of "Key 3")

Thanks.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
