Hamfist
I promise not to murder Canadan.
So, a while ago, I did a fitting to make sure my irons weren't too long for me. Did the dynamic fitting with the black plate on the floor to check lie, face tape to show the ball mark, etc.
The fitter, a GG employee, said that everything seemed OK.
Fast forward a few months, and I have 3 lessons under my belt. Good information, got drills, etc., quite pleased with the lessons.
Also, got a couple of swing videos to look over.
Now, here's where I have my issue/question/theory. In my video, during my downswing, I pull the butt end of the club towards my body, bending both elbows, and pulling my shoulders up. I am theorizing this is the result of playing too many years with clubs that are too long form my short stature. If I keep my left arm straight, I'll hit it fat, so, to compensate, I do this funky "hara kiri" move.
Noticing this from my video, I have been watching lots of PGA, LPGA, and Champions broadcasts, looking at specifically how long the clubs are in relation to their bodies. Most of them have clubs that only reach about halfway up their thigh, whereas my clubs are almost at my navel.
So, in my usual reactionary way, I'm half tempted to drive over to GG and have 3-4" chopped off all my irons.
Anyone else out there of my height who has addressed this? (all 5' 4 1/2" of towering menace that I am.)
