Guys.. let me just start by saying I've been pretty frustrated the last few weeks since I started learning this swing. I'm not just new to this swing but new to golf entirely.. so this has definitely been a process. However, you might think I have an advantage since I don't have a whole lot of bad habits to break.
I have been practicing every day consistently, and a lot of times I take my lunch break at work to come home and hit 20-30 balls. Well.. on today's lunchbreak right towards the last few shots I had a breakthrough. I discovered the amazing power that get's added to your swing effortlessly with a proper trail forearm and wrist hinge. And not just power, but somehow it just puts the club on the proper path and just works out a lot of problems in the swing. EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT performing the rest of the downswing perfectly (which you will see in the video that I need a lot of improvement with that) it makes up for so many issues despite that...
You can see me in the first part of the video ensuring a proper grip, and then getting the feel of the proper trail forearm and wrist hinge. What prompted me to correct this was I noticed my left wrist was not flat, and then it clicked in my head that it's because I don't have proper trail forearm and wrist hinge.. it was causing my left wrist to cup I think. Which was leading to all sorts of ball striking issues and lack of power even if I did manage to get the club face square. also almost all my shots would go right.
I absolutely sent this ball and I barely swung. I did it multiple times over too, it was not a fluke.
Again.. you will notice that I don't get a good backwards k and my back foot looks like it wants to rotate on to the toe way to early.. etc. But because I got this sweet, sweet trail forearm right I know I was hitting these balls straight like 150+ yards with minimal effort.
I might just need to go get myself a Krispy KFC spicy chicken sandwich after this one....
also sorry for the grungy tank.. I just took my work shirt off quickly so I could practice.
Are you pointing me toward a video or something? I tried looking up what you put here and I didn't find a video with that title.
Thanks!
