I'd stop rolling the forearms so much on the backswing. Your hands gain no depth and then you're forced to roll late on the downswing (second image) - the club is rolling hard over the top between those frames and swinging well left. That shuts the face so when you shut it a little you get pulls, and when you shut it a lot you get pull-draws.

Thanks for the input! Pulls/pull-draws is exactly what I'm fighting right now, it's more with my driver and slightly with my 3w.

 

Are there any drills that you recommend to help reduce rolling the forearms? When I attempt to do so I feel as if my hands are higher on my backswing, I should video it just to see if I'm doing it correctly

    • Day 50 - 2024-11-19 Hit about 20 balls focusing mostly on the backswing. That's going to be my November and December.
    • They need to do something to speed  up play. They could randomly  time  players. One  idea would  be  if a group gets  out  of  position they are disqualified. If its a group of  3 and  its  1 player playing like  molasses i can imagine an exciting interaction, lol
    • I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
