My shot start straight for a good distance and then at the end they fade about 15 yards (I guess a slice). I get good distance with my irons and woods but it just fades more then I would like. If it does not fade I push it straight to the right. When I try to do the swivel I end up hooking the ball badly. Lynn can you give me any kind of drill to help correct this issue. Welcome aboard, Timm. And thanks for this first post. The Finish Swivel is not a 'thing apart' and can only be as good as the Downstroke that preceded it. For example, if your Right Forearm is coming into Impact high -- Off Plane -- you will find it difficult to properly Follow Through and Finish. The cure is to learn a proper Downstroke. First, make sure your Start Down is On Plane. Do many Start Down Waggles to assure that you are pulling the butt-end of the Club directly toward the Plane Line. Then, take this motion through the Downstroke and into the Release area, making sure you Uncock and Roll while still driving toward -- not down -- the Plane Line. Finally, complete your Total Motion by Swiveling out of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position) and into the Finish. Make sure the butt-end of the Club points toward the Plane Line as you Finish Swivel. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
