Hitting "the box" with the hosel.

[jbrunk]

I have a problem with twisting away on the downswing too much to put the club on the box and angle hinging enough to hit it straight or even fade it. I have a powerful pivot and that causes the face to open on the transition/downswing, and if I do not twist down to the ball I hit it on the heel, when I do twist down I hit a pull/ pull draw.

I am planning to come see Brian in the next 2 months, so in the interim, how do figure out how much twist goes with how much hinge to hit it solid and straight or left to right? How do I hit the box without lagging el hosel to some extent?

Bump.

Anyone?

I think you have answered your own question. I'm certainly no expert but when I get too aggressive with the lower body on the downswing my clubface is usually left open. I think that's also some of the problem that Tiger is having. Best of luck.
