Is float loading the answer to chronic throwaway?

Chronic? No. Learn what the Flying Wedges do, how they are assembled and how they are bought to the aiming point. Learn Lag and lose the impulse to hit the ball with the clubhead before reaching the aiming point. Float Loading is not a band- aid.

You were right, float loading is not band aid!! It did not last.

I am now making sure my pivot starts my downswing and am hitting the ball very well with drag loading and am trying to train myself to lose the impulse to hit as you described above

Float Loading is addictive. Who doesn’t like that feel? It is like an insurance policy (not cure) against pp3 throw-away. I feel the float on pp1 and pp2.

Don't let the clubhead direct or command impact. Hit the ball with the Hands- let the club be an extension of your pressure points.

This thought along with making sure my hand action lags my Pivot is proving to be a much more reliable way of preventing throw away.

I found that when I was over doing float loading there was too much going on in my swing to be reliable when I have a card and pencil in my pocket.

However I think it is an excellent drill on the practise tee and I do use still use it for trouble shots when I have a restriced backswing
