When I’m doing the drills and practicing, I can make a good swing. Everything looks good and I make good contact.
However, when I play I‘m still standing up on the downswing. I believe I have my weight in the correct position. And I think that my top of the backswing position it correct. But, I can’t overcome standing up when I swing down.
Has anybody else had this problem and do you have a key or move that lets you make the proper bend / bump / turn?
I’m looking for the one thing that I can do that will assure that I bend / bump / turn instead of standing up. More than anything else I want to fix this. It is what has plauged me my entire golfing life.
Thanks!
Fellow Saguto golfers,
I’m making progress. I was having trouble with my downswing and follow-thru. I was still standing up and flipping. But, I have found the following is helping.
Tom recently sent an email with a link to his YouTube video “The Best Ball Striking Drill - This Simple Golf Swing Move Works Like Magic”. https://youtu.be/nD-z0ovm62o Tom teaches this “move” throughout his program, but the video really reinforced how important it is. And I had not really given it the focus it deserves. I had not mastered it like he says we should.
So, I’m doing the drills and it has really helped. It helps with the correct club downswing path. It helps with keeping the weight forward during the downswing. It helps with eliminating the flip or scoop. And it helps with consistency, contact and distance.
I still need to keep practicing to build consistency. But I played 9 holes on Thursday and 18 holes yesterday and my full swing shots are improving.
Thanks Tom.
Mike
