Just finished Day 3 of the protocols, I like where this train is heading. So far still only using the short band, but added some wrist hinge, I am doing all the band training with my PW so far.
From what I am gathering so far:
Day 1 gets you focused on getting your body (not really your arms) turning and into the right finish position. I know I don't turn as much normally on a full swing as I am on 20-40 yard pitch shots right now.
Day 2 gets you turning back and through for a chipping/punch motion.
Day 3 gets you breaking the wrist and shallowing out the club on shorter (half swing or so shots).
This gets you squaring up the club with your body instead of hands/arms. I think this progression is working great.
Today I started off with some very light stretching, did a few rotations through then maybe 10 of the chipping motion before getting to the actual day 3 protocol (30 half swing shots off of tee). I finished with 3 full swings with a PW without a tee, 2 5W off a tee, 1 slicing out to the right (pretty standard) and one drilled right down the center. Grabbed driver and hit 2, 1st was a little fade, 2nd one was a mid flight missile dead nuts center of the club face. Had to get back to the office so didn't hit anymore, but looking forward to day 4 tomorrow.
