hey there thanks for any input you may have to my problems... First off I've been implementing new swing trying to get the club on plane more cocking the wrists during the backswing and was really seeing improvements in ball striking and flight.. Then these past few days I have resorted back to inconsistent ball flight blocked swings hitting the ball off the toe and I can't hit a SW or LW full to save my life.. I'm assuming that my lower body is causing a lot of these bad swings if anyone has any suggestions Im hitting it all over the course left right thin fat you name it

Hello! Whenever you make a swing change, such as the one you have described, your body is going to need some time to adjust. You are manipulating then club in a manner that is different then what you were doing before. As a result you have likely lost the club's sweet spot. I recommend you go back to the basics. Focus on stance, grip, good takeaway, proper weight shift and body turn. A good golf swing is an athletic, full body movement, not just a wrist hinge or cock. As a result of your focus on your one small adjustment, you may find that you have stopped doing something else in the golf swing that is causing your problems. Hence, the return to the fundamentals. Good luck!

Welcome to the forum @RKOaBUS Swing changes do take time, but also need to keep the fundamentals, I.e., weight forward at impact, etc. we have a Members Swings section that may help. Post a video of you wedge shots and instructors plus other members who've delt with the same issue can help.

Take it slow. You need build a swing slowly.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
