Never really formally made a first post, but hi. I've been playing the game for less then a year but I've worked my way down to about a 13 handicap with a habitually open face (lots of practice). Dunno where it opens up, but it's not the grip. Usually I take toe deep divots and hit it a bit off the toe with my irons (helps me straighten it out a bit 
) and my tee shots can really go haywire. My pivot had recently just started feeling like caca and I figured out I was just a poorly fixed slicer.
Anyway, today I worked on employing Brian's NSA pattern and it has really worked like a charm. The twistaway and holding it down really helped me, for the first time today, feel what keeping my hands ahead of the clubhead and having a flat left wrist into the ball is like. I actually started hitting shots off the center towards the heel, and that NEVER happens for me. I would like to thank you for such an awesome instructional video. Took me 10 minutes to get the hang of it, really really.
I have a question, though. Is it normal for me to have a feeling of slight strain in my left wrist from holding the twist? It doesn't hurt right now, and I just hit 250 balls trying to ingrain it, but I felt definite pressure while practicing. It felt nothing like I have ever done before! I remember seeing the video Brian made about twisting the club in your hand to develop a flat left wrist, but I was wondering if this is along the same lines of just getting all the muscles in my hand to work right. Thanks again!
