I have always been a fairweather poster. I usually only post when I have had a golf epithany and I lie dormant when my game sucks. Perhaps it should be the other way around. In any event, I was listening to Ian B. Finch talk about how Sergio returns his hands back at impact back to the way they were at address.
So I looked at what I do. I invariably return with HIGHER hands at impact. Perhaps this is because I uncock them to soon, I don't know. This is also why I lose my posture- my hands want to be higher with a more upright shaft and if I don't raise out of my posture, I would just hit the ground.
So I tried to return my hands to the same position or slightly lower at impact than address. First, it made me retain left wrist cock longer. Second, it made me hit lower knock down shots at first. I took it to the course and parred the first 12 holes (shot 77 with 32 putts). But I started to faulter the next day but was saved when I realized I was zeroing my hip turn out after watching Jim Furyk here:

So now I am trying to return my hands to the lower address position whilst carrying them to that position on my turning right hip. I was hitting so well today, I brought my 2-iron out. I figured if I could do it with a 2-iron, I could do it with anything. The result-- hard low boring stingers that carried 185-ish and rolled out to 230-ish on flat fairway.
So once again I am excited about golf. Not sure I have a question, but looking for comments or validation.
