Hi guys,

Will try and upload a video ASAP but looking for some initial thoughts if possible.

Having real issues with my driver that are very destructive. Hitting quite a lot of low snap hooks (no more than 100 yards). I think I know what I am doing but can’t figure out how to fix it.

Got a lesson a while back and he showed me that at top of swing I throw the club out (towards the ball) and totally off plane. This results in a out to in swing and contact off the heel of the club regularly. I have tried setting up in toe of club and even outside of toe but very limited success.

Was really looking for drills to help keep me on plane at top of downswing. Pro said I should “just drop my hands” but not sure how.

Any advice welcome.

 

Thanks

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
    • Day 264 5-24 Worked on getting chest through and arms down infront of chest. Contact isn't great yet but on video looking better.
