For those interested in the golf swing technique I thought it would be good to have a thread where we can post tips, advice that has worked for you, swing thoughts, where and when you have a lesson and as a result what you need to work on. Also video your swing and post it (I have know idea how to do that btw), for those in the know to make comment on good/bad and the ugly!
Over the last 20 years I must have seen at least 10 different pros. I see Rohan Dummett at MGA at the moment, but not that often.
My biggest problems over the years is that adrenaline rush through my body when I hit the ball. I can make a decent practice swing....video it and it looks good...but when I hit a ball it is different (especially wanting to smash the ball with Driver in hand). I tend to make a too long backswing....with a cupped (not flat) left wrist at the top. And it is hard to come back from there. Right now I have shortened the backswing (to parallel or just short of it), flattened my left wrist. I am making a move from there where I literally put my right elbow onto my right hip to start the down swing. It seems to be working. I am doing it at home very regularly into my hitting net and will be very interested to see if it translates to on course. It feels good. I can see with driver that I am finding the centre of the club nearly every time.
