Watched Julian the local golf pro swing during practice. Well it must have inspired me somehow to shorten my backswing so I'll have more control. I've gotten more power thanks to my lag now but it's going all over the place. I also forgot to do some of the basic things that I just learned two lessons ago!!!
1. Grip. The club somehow got back in the palm of my left hand over the last month or so instead of in my fingers. I don't know how but I remembered this and put the club back in my fingers and all of a sudden I got the whip back and gained in distance with less effort. Need a drill to remember this!
2. Shorter backswing. In order to try and get rid of my reverse pivot I tried shortening my backswing and then letting the club whip. Usually this resulted in a slice since my hand were usually late. I don't know why but this wasn't happening today. Maybe because...
3. Keep head down. I've been forgetting to watch the club contact the ball and have been either fat or thin. So I really tried to watch the club contact the ball. Then look up to see where the ball went. This really helped as well.
I felt like I wasn't swinging that hard and the ball would just fly with just a slight fade and straight almost every time. I hit my 6 iron about 10 balls in a row that all went nice and far with a great sound at impact. Haven't done that in ages. Tried it out with the hybrid and driver and it worked as well. At least it seemed like I was more like the pros that can just send the ball flying. Once again another feeling like "this is finally it!". This is how it should feel like. Will try to test again tomorrow. I hate how the swing just keeps moving and it's just trying to fight bad habits instead of improving!!
As usual got home and had my son film for reference.
