What has "clicked" for me

My swing today has no resemblance of what it was 2 years ago. I was the poster child of the hacker. Athletic yet clueless on what a good golf swing should feel or look like. The thing that has made the biggest difference for me is the understanding of the swing plane and how CF works. Previously, I was always slapping at the ball from OTT with severe "flippage". I could rarely break a 100 (legally).

Today I went out to a local par 3 course (its empty most of the time this time of year). I usually practice on this 125 yard hole hitting about 10 balls from the deck (somewhat hard pan). The hole has an elongated 2 tier green with traps on both sides and the wind was blowing in my face. Out of ten balls with a PW I put one in the hole, 1 2-inches from the hole, and 5 within 15 feet. the other 3 were on the fringe.

I don't write this to brag; I only write it to say WOW. In the past getting 2-3 balls out of ten on the green would have been an accomplishment for me. I am so excited about the game of golf now. I feel like I have uncovered the "secret".

I want to thank all the TGM folks on Brian's and Lynn's site who have shared their "secrets" of the golf swing. If only the rest of the PGA world could relate these principles to the masses....

I don't have real loftly goals - I want to break 80 - for me that would be so satisfying. I know it'll happen regularly this year (provdied I can get the driver working :>)

What has "clicked" for you?
 
I'm reading this and it's like my same story except I want to break 72. I go to my local par 3 and hit a bunch of balls almost every night. I've also been hitting the ball like never before and can't thank this forum enough. The one thing that"clicked" was the right forearm on plane which I think helped me drop my right shoulder. Another thing that is helping is to get the hands to impact position ahead of the ball. My bad swings are hooks which I need to figure out now. Good luck on the seventies!

Good work guys and thanks a bunch!

Impact Fix AND FOLOW-THROUGH FIX with a HANDS PULL THE PIVOT BACK TAKEAWAY(Not a Right Forearm takeaway OR a Shoulder Turn takeaway) and a hitting procedure.

What clicked for me was wearing a tac-tic and swinging without clicking.

Yup...brian made me learn how to do that without ever letting it "tic." Flat left wrist throughout the ENTIRE SWING.

I can STILL DO IT if i want too. Because i can do that, on command, i know i don't have a problem with a flat left wrist pretty much anywhere in my swing :)

Brian:

Do you sell the wrist tic tac? In another thread, you stated you would be selling swing aids. Instead of buying one from Amazon, I would be willing to purchase one from you.
