OT
golf
dang, E, I know I told you this before -----
you said ----> but the way I go outside to in on the downswing, it really cuts off the power, and I have tried alot of different things but not to any real success..
LOL and here is some help -----
Ok, one more time and I promise no more ------
some of this might be new info so maybe it is not all a repeat, but try it or don't try it --- it will work ......
use a 5 iron
place your feet TOGETHER with no space between them as in side by side and the right sole touching the left sole
do not raise your right heel (should you be left hand swinging, read this left heel) from contact with the ground in the backswing
when starting the backswing, drag the clubhead backwards --- in contact with the grass ---- for as far as you can and still maintain your balance
take the club back in the backswing as far as you can, maintaining a straight left arm, but not so far as to loose your balance
make a distinct effort to shift your weight from your right side, where it have normally located itself in the backswing , FIRMLY to your left side and at the same time rotate your hips in a circular motion (as in a pivot point from your pelvic region) from the right to the left and make a dedicated effort to "throw" the clubhead out to the right of the intended target ......
now if you will do this
1) you aren't gonna slice that ball
2) you will NOT go outside in on the downswing
3) you will NOT kill the power in the natural swing
4) in this practice session you are NOT to worry about the distance you hit the dang ball
5) in my opinion, that is the first thing wrong (#4) with your described swing now ------ Don't worry about how far the dang ball is going
way back in the olden days of yore and in the time of the gutta percha and hickory shafts --- when I first started playing the game ----- I had an oldtimer teach me these very few lessons .......
and to prove it to me ..... he took a 5 iron ONLY (no other stick) and beat the pants off me....
then he had me do the drill of the 4 steps above and hit a bucket every day for a week
then he had me play a round every day for a week with a 5 iron
then he turned me loose to use the entire sack of sticks and swing as hard and do what ever I wanted //////
the dang restricted 5 iron, with the footsies together, and not able to hit the dang ball 150 yards was still within 5 strokes of the best round I played for the entire next week ............
TRY IT -----
