Last weekend, I tried a swing thought of getting my hands to the left shoulder as quickly as I can in my downswing. I got immediate distance rewards and started carrying the ball about 20-30 yards extra. Is this a bad idea? I did feel a lack of control mentally, and with this thought with irons, hit some fat shots. any thoughts?

Hi Leek,
I did the same move some time ago.
As you said, instant improvement, but the bad shots are fats.....
Came to the conclusion that the arm/hands-finish "thought" was making me release the arms down the chest too soon (or too early in the pivot), thus the fats...
Perhaps a practice combination thought of "pivot-first, THEN hands-shoulder" would be productive, but the weather has been too crap here lately to hit any balls...
