Wallop

[jlgenson]

I am trying hard to "wallop with my pivot", but keep hitting the ground first. I have watched the video over and over but still having a hard time. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You're having more "drop" than "turn".

Also, try to create a full shoulder turn at the top without your hands going above your right shoulder.

Thanks for the response. Do you mean that I am using my arms too much to drop the club on the way down? What exactly do I need to do to get more turn and less drop?

Without seeing your swing, yes. The best thing to do is to post your swing up. I don't want to screw up your swing...maybe other members here can chip in. There are many things you could focus on...one being getting the left shoulder (and left hip) turning away from the ball asap at the top.

I will try to work on getting my swing posted. In the mean time I will work on keeping my hands below my right shoulder at the top of my swing.

You may want to check your backswing pivot as well. If you're swaying during the backswing, it will make it harder to get "back to the ball."

I would also look at "flipper" Does wonders for impact.
