Holding Twistaway

[jlgenson]

I am having a real hard time holding the the twistaway on the downsing and keeping my right wrist bent and left wrist flat at impact. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Have you watched NSA?

 

[jlgenson]

Yes, I have watched NSA. I am just having trouble actually holding it to the ball. I am thinking it is probably b/c I come OTT.

For some people who REALLLLLLLY have open clubface issues you will have trouble because you so want to let that face open. I promise it will get better, but in the mean time you might actually have to feel like you have some tension while holding it. Eventually it will become natural, you are just fighting your subconscious which wants to open it.

Thank You

Thank you for that response. I will continue to work on it. That helps.

For me, 'holding the twist' only works if you are also making a good hard pivot through the ball. If you're trying to 'hold the twist' only with your hands and arms, then you'll be swatting at the ball. But if you just make the twist on the backswing and then 'wallop the ball with your pivot' then holding the twist will take are of itself, in a way.

The "Soft Draw" Pattern

For those who can't employ the "twistaway" and the pattern of "Never Slice Again 2.0," I suggest trying the "Soft Draw" pattern.

(I know, I know, the video isn't out yet)...

In the meantime, focus on POINTING the BUTT of the club at the target, just before the finish, with your left thumb under the shaft.

It often helps folks to try to point the butt to the right first.

(that's just one of the principles of the pattern)...

Just a thought/question for those who study NSA and "twistaway" - is it more effective with a "one-plane" swing? Or to put it another way, does a one-plane swing tend to re-inforce NSA and vice versa?

FYI, the "one plane" swing theory has little to no merit round these parts.

i'd say no merits

I say total myth
