So I tried the hands close to the body thing again and tried exploring it more and looked at tape and what it does is it conserves my spine angle after impact, but at impact I'm still loosing spine angle and goat humping. Also my neck hurt after the session so that's how I know I'm jumping up at impact. So I was pretty bummed because it was back to the drawing board. So I looked at Adam Scott's driver swing from DTL and compared it to mine and once again just saw how fundamentally different they were. At impact his hips are so much more turned toward the target and right elbow nice and bent.
So I was playing around with this and went to the range today even though it was freezing out! I trying to find a swing thought to help me get in the right positions. I was working on keeping my left arm across my body as long as possible while keeping my right elbow infront of my right hip. It was kinda working.
In the end what seems to be the right swing thought is to turn and think about having my chest and hips facing the target at impact. All the while having my right elbow dug into my belly.This gets me in the most correct positions and seems simple enough to do.I was also pushing the ball so I added a little more flexion of the left wrist and that got the ball going straight down the target line. I had to feel like I was hitting backhand with the first two knuckles of my left hand. I was also swinging about 60%. which is way easier to work on breaking old muscle firing patterns when installing new ones.
The balls were going pretty straight and I at least had some control over them, the swing looked correct on video, and my neck doesn't hurt. So I'm going to explore this for now and see if it lasts but it looks promising. What a change from the last post which I guess was a false lead, but who knows maybe it was correct and I'll come back to it later at some point and see how in fact I can use it. I've done it many times before. Well I'm glad I went to the range today despite the freezing conditions!
