I'm struggling . Played at golf on and off starting in my 50s nothing serious. Got serious last year with your course. I'm always on plane but mostly thin or slightly fat. Don't care alot about score right now just want to be a good ball striker. I'm left handed in every thing but golf right and also have a limit on my right wrist of about 30 to 35 degrees flex. You and other greats seem to be at 90% wrist flex at the top of the back swing. What are your thoughts on switching to left handed golf. Played hockey and baseball up to 9th grade lefty. I'm slightly above average athletically. I'm 75 but dominant left and have more wrist flexibility in my left wrist, close to 90 degrees. I'll do anything to strike the ball better. I have plenty of time on my hands. My best 7 iron is around 150 yrs to 160 if it's perfect contact but on average with all the tops and fats probably 135. It's Sad. Should I try lefty?

Aren't I embarrassed. Guess what? I thought I was forward enough but I wasn't. That took care of half the problem. I to have to train my right wrist. With my limitation their there is 0 margin for error. That's the other half and will take some time. The butt episode was also very helpful. Starting small again but still going to do the lesson. I want to film at the range so I can see the ball flight. I'll be in your Que as soon as I can get to the range. Man those tips were so uplifting. All this KFC for just 10 bucks a month. Only my leaf blower is dollar for dollar more valuable( I gotta deal with a lot of leaves)
Thanks Tom, I purchased a swing analysis. just my ugly face in there now. Did a test to see if I got the process right. Ill have some swings in there for you in two days
@tedpuryear - The fats and thins both tend to share the same cause - a low point that is behind the ball. This can occur from not having enough weight moving forward in the downswing. The 90% Weight Forward/Arms Straight Drill and/or this week's KFC Club Member episode may help in this regard. Or, as you suggest, it may be a matter of wrist action, in which case the Flying Wedge Drill may be of assistance.
Only you can determine if you have a sufficient comfort level swinging from the other side. The fact that you played hockey and baseball lefty suggests that you might, but I would recommend getting your hands on a left-handed club or two to give it a try before taking the plunge.
