Almost three years ago I was a 4 handicap and struggling with slicing the ball. Whilst searching for a solution I stumbled upon the "Never Slice Again" video by Brian Manzella. This served as my introduction to "The Golfing Machine" and I decided to purchase the book in an effort to better understand my golf swing and (hopefully) improve it. However, I didn't get too far into learning "The Golfing Machine" as at the time golfing related frustrations came to a head and I went on a golfing hiatus.
The golfing hiatus lasted until just over two weeks ago. Inspired by the U.S open, I decided to hit some golf balls. Since then I have just been focusing on trying to get my wrists releasing correctly and that's about it. Surprisingly, the contact has been consistently in the middle of the club face and my primary misses have gone from being slices/push-slices (before the golfing hiatus) to hooks/pull-hooks (if I forget to swing slightly in-to-out).
As you've probably worked out, I am not really familiar with "The Golfing Machine" terminology. However, I do want to learn. I would really appreciate some guidance on the following two issues.
First, what are the main areas I should be working on currently?
Note: I apologise for the low quality video. I will get high quality video uploaded once I purchase a new camera.
Second, what is the most effective way to learn the fundamentals mentioned in "The Golfing Machine"? As I've learnt, it's not really a book you can read cover to cover.
This time around I want to ensure that I am working on the right things and although I would love to see a TGM instructor, there are none in my state (I am located in NSW, Australia).
Any help regarding the above would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
