I had a lesson last week, and got some valuable feedback from my Pro.
I'm currently off 13 and on the way out......
After a few practice swings, he asked me if I knew where the top of my
swing was? I responded that I had no idea. When I looked at hte video
I understook why. He had taken some footage of my swing, and I was
concentrating on a nice full swing, but the footage showed me swing
way past horizontal with the ground. due to a bent left elbow and a
cupped wrist.
Very ugly.
He got me to start hinging my wrist against my arm (if that makes
sense) So that there is no cupping motion. result is a much more solid
swing, I still have to stop myself bending the left elbow, but this is
something that I can control a little more.
Question is - do any of you work on something to help you with a
position at the top of the swing, or do you just do it natuturally?
