Thanks Chances are good that those left shots are the result of a breakdown of the left wrist. The swivel does two important things - it helps force your pivot to move through and it helps keep that left wrist flat. Unless you use a strong left hand grip, a swivel should not send the ball left. Either way, experiment with a swivel that is aggressive until you can 'hear' your shots. If at that point the ball is going left, check that your left hand grip isn't too strong. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
