I have a power package golf aid. I am trying to correct across the line and a cupped left wrist. It is a very good training aid, however it is hard to switch it from one club to another. I put it on an old 8 iron. I have taken many many swings by swinging the old 8 iron and then hitting a practice ball with an iron (P, 9, 8,7 and 6). My swing feels very weird but I am hitting my irons crispy and amazing. I also practice with foot spray on my clubfaces and am hitting the club face in the sweet spot! I am hitting my irons very consistent and even hitting them 5-10 yards more. I use an PRGR portable launch monitor at the driving range to see the distance.
Occasionally I hit a good hybrid, wood off the fairway and drive. I know it is the same swing but a longer club. A lot of my balls hook left or I top the ball. I watched some of Tom Saguto's videos again - The Most Important Wrist Hinge Lesson, Problem #7 - Too much cupped wrist, Problem #8 - Lack of Wrist Hinge, Don't Hinge Your Wrists in the Golf Swing, Backswing 5 (Driver section) Take Driver around enough, and Backswing 6 (Driver section) Shoulder Down. I now know it is an arm fold, not a wrist hinge. I moved the power package golf aid to an old 3 wood, and have been hitting practice balls off grass and off a tee. (Right now I tee off with a 3 wood due to a left shoulder issue). I just need to get much more consistent with my longer clubs. The more I practice, the more fun hitting golf balls is. One of my favorite drills is 2 parts, the takeaway and then arm fold. However, it does get a little frustrating on the golf course with my longer clubs since I don't have the muscle memory yet. Hopefully, it will come soon.
@Jan McAnulty Mitro - As your practice performance becomes more and more consistent, then it's just a function of time in terms of when/how that will translate itself to the pressures and challenges of actual play. As confidence in your swing grows you should find more and more that you are playing "golf" instead of "golf swing" on the course, at which point your mechanical thoughts will be reduced to one or two at the most, and you will be nearly entirely focused on your target and not your swing.
(By the way, an excellent book that may help you with this is "Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game" by Dr. Gio Valiante. Another book that I like is "Play Your Best Golf Now" by Lynn Marriott & Pia Nilsson.)
