Thanks buddy!! The hard work will pay off!
Here's my swing at the top which Brian says is a really good position at the top.
Here's the start of my down swing which is where I need to start the bowing to flatten the shaft. Sometimes I'll actually cup at this position which is no good, but I've worked hard on not cupping it, even before going to Brian.
This picture shows where I'm at and where Brian wants me. The yellow is obvious my arm, orange is currently where I deliver the shaft from and red is where he'd like to see me deliver it into the ball from. He said once the left wrist starts to bow the shaft will drop into the slot of the red and actually give me more power into the ball.
This picture here is kind of hard to see but the club face in this position is a bit open. The bowing of the left wrist and dropping the shaft line into the red of the previous picture will square the club face early in the swing causing me to only have to rotate through the swing.
And here is where my swing will benefit the most. I've always been a handsy player. Meaning I used my hands to square the face in the past and got away with it and played some damn good golf doing so, but if the time is a fraction off at this position is what causes me to suck at times. When the hand timing is exactly on the club face is all over the place causing sometimes a fade or sometimes a hook which is why I wanted to get lessons in the first place. To get more consistent and the work I'm putting it will get me there.
Thanks brother. It's such a little move really but it feels so foreign. I think once I get comfortable with it it will click and I shouldn't really have a problem working the ball left or right. I'm excited to keep digging.
Wardy nailed it. It didn't take more than one to stop doing what I was doing.
You pretty much nailed my game to a tee. When my hands were on with timing I had no issues. When the hands were a fraction off I was really bad. Taking out the hands is exactly what he's doing. Thanks for encouraging words bud!
