I have been de-hooked!

[jbrunk]

I am a "soft fader" in the matrix and I have played 4 rounds in the last 2-3 weeks. I have not hit a draw/hook in any of those rounds nor the last 6 trips to the range, and my soft fade is turning into more of a hard fade and some slices. I am hitting it great, couldn't happier with contact.

What would be the next step to get me to "do it right" and allow me to start hitting the ball straight?

Glad you are doing well! If you decide to move more to the generic pattern a bit more axis tilt on downswing and more of a palm up swivel would be a good starting point....

 

[Jared Willerson]

Which palm?

 

[Michael Jacobs]

left palm (assuming he or she is righty)

 

[Jared Willerson]

Alright, how can I do that without swiveling too early. I really get "on top" with my right arm, which results in smother hooks and pulls...I do this everytime I consciously try to swivel. At what point does my right palm need to quit facing the plane line and start swiveling over the left palm to get my left palm up?

Thanks Michael. My original intent in going to see Brian was to have a traditional pattern and change the hooks to straight shots. I will probably start with axis tilt, as the swivel changes are a little more difficult for me.

Sorry Your post prompted a lot of questions

Member the drill i gave you to de-hook ya?

Do the same thing but angle that board 4-5* TO RIGHT FIELD. This will get you going a bit more "in" and a bit more "out" which should help you get the ball going a bit less right.

REMEMBER THOUGH, only a few degrees, not much.
