Nathan, When I look at a swing- I look for the area that is most out of line. What "I" see is that from halfway down to impact and beyond- you are coming over the top of the swing - hugely. As a result - what you see at times is both feet flat on the ground at impact- since you don't need much if any hip slide for clearing. With that- the right foot doesn't roll in- but you get up on the toe and it lifts up- kind of like an after thought. By looking at the two swings 8:16 and 8:33 where you are aware of "uncocking" versus the two swing 9:07 and 0:25 where you focus on the hands forward etc. - it seems to me that by having that thought in 9:07 and 9:33 that it changes your entire swing including your backswing. To me the backswing is shorter on those two swings as opposed to the earlier ones. That changes the total dynamics of the motion and you pull the ball more. Personally, I don't think that the uncocking is something that you should be concentrated on for a change and certainly not something you should be aware of when you are swinging a golf club without working on any particular thing in your swing- normal procedure. If you were to decide to change the halfway down over the top move- with the right shoulder way out - as opposed to more back and down- it won't be easy uncovering the other changes that you'll need to incorporate to make the "new" move work efficiently. Issues like trying to keep you head still and the orientation of your eyes on the ball - could be a few of many reasons why you swing the way you do. Just realize that it is just not one change but finding what other changes you'll need to make in order to coordinate the better downswing won't be so easy. Here is one way that I would think of this- if you are coming way over the top of the ball halfway down AND still hitting a lot of straight shots and some slight pulls- then you have additional items in your swing that are "push" factors that are offsetting the "pull"move. So when you don't make the pull move coming down and make no additional changes in your swing- the ball should go way right i.e. block or push. From there you need to applaud yourself and then figure what other items are in your swing that have subconsciously or consciously been overcoming the pull swing fault. One such area you might look to is when you pass impact and move towards the finish- from down the target line now - you will sometimes see the arms move quite vertical- that's one push move to over come the pull downswing. Not sure you are laid off at the top - but I'm guessing you are slightly- might take a look at that- some additional head or shoulder rotation should allow that or just a more inside takeaway with the hands- will create it. Food for thought. __________________ Life Goal- Developing a new theory of movement based on Brain Science Interests - Dabbling with insanity Hobbies- Creating Quality Last edited by Mike O : 05-28-2008 at 05:49 PM.
