Swing 1.11: Another lesson

Went with Ryo to get a lesson at Rina's. Worked on new things:

1. Stance. Need to relax arms. Narrower stance to let body rotate properly. Bend arms around neck. Backswing starts with left shoulder pushing backwards
2. Visualisation drill. Need to develop more feels because I'm too analytical and perfectionist. So practice swings visualizing where I want the ball to go until I feel like I can do it. Then hit the ball.
3. Clubface position. Have got a slight fade so need to speed up my hands. The drill for this was with hands apart try to have the toe of the club facing straight up after release when pointing towards target. Do a couple of practice swings then when comfortable hit the ball.
For a fade when hitting the ball keep clubface open.
Do exercise of hitting fades and draws.

Oh yeah while Ryo was having his lesson I was hitting balls and was looking at my clubhead speed. The fastest I could get it was when I did the full "Remax" longdrive swing and I got the clubhead to 100 mph at impact. The distance driven was 229 yards.
