I had an irons lesson two weeks ago and the instructor identified an issue with my head dipping lower than he would have liked. He said I could relieve the head dip by lifting up my front heel a bit on the backswing. Not only would this keep my head a bit more level but he explained that this would also help me in my set up (I squat down a bit and he would like to see me more upright). We worked on it and went back to the video where he pointed out how much better the setup and swing looked. I tried to bring this to the course/range with me last weekend but I ended up topping, chunking, and spraying the ball all over until I moved back to my more comfortable position (+5 on the first two holes using the new setup; +11 the rest of the way with my swing). I know these things take time, but I am really questioning his advice on this one because of how comfortable and consistent I have become hitting my irons a certain way. We had one lesson previous to this one and it helped me tremendously (it was a driver lesson).
Do you ever ignore swing changes suggested by your instructor or do you stick it out until it begins to work (or pick and choose what advice to incorporate to your swing)?
