I need to think about some of this and try it out on the range some more, but I managed to play the last 3 holes quite well today, with no bad shots.
I'm excited about this and wanted to write some of it down.
- there was the feeling of turning back to cock the wrists and then just turning back to affect the shot. That seemed to lag the club well and kept me from getting outside
- taking the club back on a line that felt wildly outside, but I think it was closer to being n plane. The arms were off the chest and there was a lot of room to swing.
I hit some very nice irons and nice drives on the last few holes.
The twist back to the ball seemed to be a key as it slowed me down, but didn't slow swing speed. Might have increased it a bit actually.
I hit some very nice irons, long and creamy feeling as one gets when the center of the club is actually used to contact the ball.
This path seemed to be better on my hands. I was tearing up my left thumb a bit, which can't be good.
It's been a couple of days since I wrote the above. What has occurred to me is that I am not sure my wood swing matches my iron swng. The iron swing is reliable and quite good especially for the shorter irons.
What I've expected for some time, and I may not be alone on this, is that as the expected length of a shot increases, the swing also changes in an attempt to "help" the ball go further.
I'm off to the range in a few minutes. It's too wet to play, I'm sure the course is closed. I looked at it yesterday and is more a river than a place to play. I'm guessing it will be a week and that may require a lot of sun and wind.
I'll add a post when I get back.
