2. maintain good tempo
3. maintaining the flex in my right knee
4. easy grip pressure (this helps my tempo)
5. line up the V;s in my grip
is my impact position ok ? are the hips clear ? am i releasing well ? what should be my primary swing thought ? whats wrong here
also look at my wrist at the top ? something off ?
There are two problems that are the biggest issues in your swing.
1. Your club crosses the line at the top, which is cupping your wrists. Watch some slow motion pictures of pros to see the difference. You want to feel like you lay the club off at the top of the backswing to fix this. Just make sure you don’t bring the club too far inside initially when trying to do this.
Drill1: The best way to get this move down is to swing with a mirror so you can watch your club go back and make sure it is on the right plane. You can even do this at home during commercials, etc…
2. Your wrists are overactive, they are already released by time you reach the ball. Try to feel your shoulders and hips move ahead of the hands and clubhead so your hands can maintain that angle longer.
Drill2: Do practice swings of half shots with a wedge, just feeling your hands lagging behind and your chest leading the shot. When you get on the range hit as many half shot wedges as you can stand, that is where you are really going to feel that move working properly.
Another piece of advice which I have learned and was a central teaching of great teachers such as Harvey Penick…
One thing at a time. When you swing you should have only 1 single focus. If you are working on problems, pick one and work on it for 2-3 weeks until its fixed, then move on to the next. By working on more than one thing it poses a real danger of doing more harm to your swing and makes the muscle memory take longer to engrain.
That being said, I would work on the club position at the top of the swing first, then the impact position.
Hope this helps, and good luck!!
The Simple Golf Swing Training System Video Review
My dad started using it, so I tried it as well. It really seems overly sticky to me, somewhat of an over kill. One thing for sure it holds the grip tight, but somewhat harder to uses because of the stickyness. What other tapes are out there that will provide the same holding power as stukontapes tiger grip????
Sorry, I’ve never seen or heard of Tiger Grip. Looked for it on the internet, no find.
I use “standard” grip tape from Golfsmith. It’s easy to use, inexpensive and works great.
