Ok. Doggie is on to Step 3 of recovery. I went to AI John Savage about an hour from my home. John is a great guy and I think I will be going back regularly.
Ragman: you nailed it. Club was too far up my left palm. Moved it more into fingers (which I thought I was doing already...doh!) and voila....straight shots.
John said I generally have a good swing plane but:
- I am WAY to "armsy" with my swing no left hip pulling through impact (I sorta stop/slow pivoting at impact).
- I am taking club back too much inside on takeaway (John said swing "back & up", not "in & up")
We worked on setup, grip, alignments, shoulder motion, hit lots of balls, covered everything I could handle in the hour.
I feel like I made the poor guy in the Doyle video look like a fast-learning genius. John probably showed me 5 very small adjustments to make. Even though they are small they FEEL HUGE. Hard to adjust during the lesson with someone watching. Can't wait to practice things the next couple weeks and go back.
