Stuck in Downswing

[lhagsjr]

Im sure this question has been asked many of times but Im doing pretty well the last couple of weeks with my practice sessions. My issue currently is I feel like Im getting a little stuck in the downswing which is causing some blocks to the right. Not crazy/awful blocks but blocks nonetheless. What is the root cause of "getting stuck" in downswing in most cases?

There are a few reasons a player can feel stuck. Looking at your handicap, I would suggest you work on this drill or post a swing video.

this makes sense. My instructor has narrowed me down to 2 issues:

1.) Sometimes I get to handsy and throw my hands at the ball too quickly

2.) HE states I don't turn all the way through the ball, like I stop...

#2 seems to be the big issue which also would make sense as to why the ball is going right at time because im not finishing. The issue is Im not sure how to make that last move getting all the way through the ball....

Yes that drill should be a good one for you.

To me those two issues are symptoms and not the cause.

FWIW, every time I've attributed a miss with getting stuck or stalling my pivot Erik, Mike or one of the 5sk/Evolvr guys have diagnosed something earlier in the swing and they've been right every time.
