Thought this might be an interesting topic.
Had a lesson yesterday. 40 year old, good athlete. Single digit, scrambler...less than 9 GIRs a round. Above shoulder plane backswing, little wristcock. Some carry, gets under it late. Shallow undercuts and rolled hooks are the result with the irons.
Great session. We get a little right wrist bend, lays the club down a little earlier, works the handle into the body and gets the club on top of the ball. Undercuts are gone, couple of pulls. Easily a 9.5 out of 10 grade.
Takes out his driver and says, "Now watch this, I feel I can do this all day." Aims right and hits kind of a round house draw with a lot of out hand path. Actually a good looking shot. He says he hits a lot of fairways. Well I say, "if you feel you can do that all day, why change it"? He says great.
10 minutes left, still with the feel of his driver, he starts shanking it as he goes back to the irons. Isn't doing anything like we were working on.
Teachers.....what do you do?
