Well, I started getting crispier contact and was feeling a bit more confident. In fact, I started thinking, "oh thats what its like!" Well I was not videoing myself for a little while and decided I had better have a look. I've had a relapse and I'm chopping again... I'm so ashamed... On a serious note though... it is a bit deflating... So I'm back again, back to the 2.8 drill I suppose is the order of the day. I was seeing some club head speeds in the 90 and a carry in the 180s and a couple in the low 190s with a 4 iron. I figured I must have had something going... Well if I can get those results doing something wrong, what will it be like when I finally get it all right?!
From what I can see, my backswing looks great! Right on the club line from setup. Then I get to the top, my lead arm is just slightly below my shoulder, but I seem to be keeping my relationship to the ball. Maybe slightly flattening. But then, I don't get back to that club line, from setup, in the down swing.
I'm trying to exaggerate lowering the hands to start the downswing as a drill. My contact is suffering from the adjustment but, I guess thats to be expected. I'm also moving my hips forward, toward the impact position, the way Buford demonstrated.
Oh well...
