I am not actually after audio answer as i'm on dialup if that's ok. About me - i am built not much different to yourself and my swing isn't really much longer than yours in your avatar if that's the term. My grip is as per your rec and i pretty much use your twistaway. I've been back into golf long enough now to start hitting some shots ok. I played for a few years and got down to 12. At the moment i'm having driver troubles. My short to mid irons are like a laser at present, last round i was hitting small greens from 160 and in with regularity. Off the tee however i am all over the place and hitting crap distance. The length of the club can't be 100% of it because my shorter irons really are hammering straight as a die, and i do mean straight. No curve, no pulls, no pushes. I have a flattish swing and don't pick the club up steep. The other day at the range i concentrated on getting the right shoulder downplane at the ball and really started to bomb drives with a lil draw. Out on the course a few days later it turned to duck hooks straight away. I'm dying to get back on the course as yesterday at the range i concetrated on getting my hands brushing close to my right thigh as my downswing move and started hitting screaming draws again. Great distance and solid contact. I've never been a slicer or OTTer. I've tried messing with axis tilt and left hip bump thoughts but to no avail. My hands must be just jutting out a little with the long clubs i am thinking and unless i concentrate on them my shots are inconsistent. My ball position is good i think. Any idea's mate?


Glad to see you on the medn and congrats on your student going so well up till now in the Open. I hope he wins.


Regards

John

That's ok Brian i'm in Australia unfortunately or we would surely have met before now. I'm going to buy some of your Dvd's soon but am waiting for the bunker/pitching one to be converted. I know it's nigh well impossible helping someone via descriptions without seeing them but you have a pretty good record. I'm hitting the ball not bad apart from the driver and it's peeving me lol. Putt to win yeah but one needs to get off the tee before anything. When i do hit the fairway i'm fine but i'm not hitting it often. I used to be straight off the tee before my break.


Regards
John

I think i fixed it Brian. The END flaw i think was being offplane in the takeaway. Played a round Monday and while concentrating on swinging down from the inside i noticed i automatically starting taking the club away more inside to accomodate this. I already had a flat position at the top but i think i got there while still taking the club a bit outside the line on the backswing. I kept with the inside takeaway thought then and hammered heaps of drives, high draws. I traced my takeaway when i got home and the new inside move was spot on plane. From now on i'll try to look at the swingplane a lot earlier.
