Even though I got my handicap down into the mid-single digits by the end of last year, video of my swing indicated that I have some serious flaws: an extremely bowed left wrist, a huge over-the-top move, and a blocking-like non-release of the club. With Yoda & Co. a bit far away, I decided to do the next best thing and enlist the help of my local PGA professional.
What he's having me do:
Basically, he has me doing a "pump" drill, where I pump the club once with wrists cocked behind my body and then swing down the same line. He emphasizes having me violently "flip" my right forearm over my left on the downswing release.
I can do this drill in practice, but even after a couple thousand reps, this move isn't translating into my actual swing, and my scores, and quality of shots, are going in the wrong direction.
This pro, by the way, is considered one of the best in San Diego, and has competed in a couple majors and PGA events, so he has game. However, I have the feeling that his approach is to teach his method to one and all, and I'm not sure that his is working for me.
So, I have the following questions:
In TGM terms, what is he teaching me to do?
Should I stick with it, or run like hell as far away as I can
TIA for any advice.
