My experience is in line with rwh's and I hope it continues. Have been playing for 12 years, even outdriving most of my friends although with a pretty soggy swing but feltt pretty good.
Until that day (last autumn):
It was all visual. A pro shot a video of my swing and saw the most embarrassingly ugly wrist flip at impact. Combining that experience with some TGM stuff I read I decided to go flat left.
So off I went. Seeing a bunch of videos, reading & trying to figure out just "how the h**l" the pros managed to keep that left wrist flat through impact.
This Saturday I felt my mind was saturated from reading and I had entered a bunch of drills as notes in my mobile phone. It was the first day of the season that I stepped up on the launchpad excited to see if I could produce some results.
Started tinkering. Stepped through the various notes in my phone. Halfshots at first. After some time I could feel it. I could FINALLY feel it!!!! The pressure point got some serious load and the smack as I hit the ball was like never before. THIS IS COMPRESSION!
I'd say I hit 10 buckets. Of those I guess I managed to hit some 30 half shots and 3-4 full swings with the left wrist dead flat. Still those few really good shots gave me a completely different feeling & I just loved it. A lot of positives came out. I managed to hit really long half shots, I managed to hit it a lot straighter than before and most important: I know what the pros do.
Went back home & looked at the Shell Houston. Noticed I now had a completely different view on the lag action when the pros hit it. I felt I could see and feel what they were doing.
I still have some serious work left to do, but I think it will pay off big time. Can't wait to get to the range again and see how this season evolves.
