I always read about swinging the club and not hitting the ball. You're supposed to make pretend the ball isn't there and just swing the club and the ball just happens to get in the way. Well that's actually a really hard thing to do because sub-consciously your body adjusts to hitting the ball. That's why practice swings always look good and then when you hit a ball it's hard to reproduce. Your body naturally corrects to hit the ball. Well I had one of those break through moments that last about 10 or 20 balls where all of a sudden you try something new and then it works and then you almost can't do anything wrong. All the balls are perfect. You try to groove the feeling before it goes away and you forget what to do. Well I had one of those moments recently while practicing. For some reason I just turned my body on the backswing and then just turned my body back on the downswing. I let my arms just really hang loose and I really tried to just let them be like spaghetti. When I was swinging I felt like when I hit the ball my head was tilted sidewards and looking up to the sky. So wasn't even looking at the ball at impact. The balls were all of a sudden flying straight, far, and high. I also felt a strange sensation in my lower back like for the first time ever I was actually using the gears in there. My son filmed me. To date this the best swing I've ever done. Notice left side is aligned at impact. Have never done that before and always wondered how to get in that position.
Here's the proof.
