First time at the range since Golf Tip Hindenburg last Friday. No permanent harm done on the power front. Lots of pulls however, and vicious hooks with the driver. Love the distance, but being 30 yds off target to the left can't be good, even if predictable.
I do detect the blur of my clubhead on an outside in path. Major swingthought on the DS is get weight on left heel asap. Also in back of my mind , I try to maintain left knee bend and not straighten up too soon or at all. I think my hips might be rotating out of sync with my arms and upper body, or stop rotating altogether at impact. Pivot not trained to slide hips laterally while arms and hands go down and out. I am very used to my hips sliding cross-laterally .Better lateral hip slide seems to promote a more outside in path. Or could be I am still not sliding correctly.
Also detect bawk bawk bawk on followthrough.
I can correct the problem by opening the clubface at address. However, I use an adjusted hands address where both wrists are bent, clubshaft is leaning forward, and hands are ahead of the ball. Clubface being open 30 degrees seems like one big old Band Aid, like the one Richard Gere used to cover up his tattoo in an Officer and a Gentleman. Also, #3ACC is pretty much zeroed out. Helps eliminate that dreaded cocked right wrist.
I have a decent swivel, the Manzellavel, which is my finish position, where my right palm faces the target, left palm faces mostly towards me, right arm more or less straight pointing leftwards, and the clubshaft is perpendicular to the target line with the butt end pointing at the target line.
On BS, I just let the unstressed right wrist and the right forearm wedge float up plane, then lift my left arm with my right arm the rest of the way. Slackless.
