[Michael Jacobs]

Air,

I took a look at the videos..
Couple of things before I offer some tips:

Tell me your typical flight of ball?

A lot of shots right?

Are shanks a problem?

Do you dig into the ground a lot?

Typical Score?

Thanks for your interest.

1: often a slice or a straight pull
2. yes
3. a little of those as well - maybe once per round, but sometimes a problem on the drivingrange with several in a row.
4 YES - a real problem.
5. 90-110, mostly 94 -100.

Air,

A quick synopsis of the adjustments I would recommend for you:

Left hand / Club face relationship - the club face slightly closed off to the back of the left hand

Serious club face adjustment on the backswing and into downswing with the club face turned toward the ground more instead of turned toward you

AFter those adjustments:

Body movement sequence - lowering the club head relative to the ground {the vertical swing plane angle} on both back and forward swing

Trying to be a so called hitter which we know doesn't exist on full powered strokes and attempting things of those nature will be a disaster. Let me know if you need clarifications

Thx,
A little complicated to grasp.
With respect to the hitter aspect: Is it a disaster to have a right arm push/thrust tendency in the downswing (with a flat left wrist)?

Air,

Sorry I missed this question --

More right arm push from the angle your are on with respect to the club head relative to the ground will cause more issues for you. The first place to look is to fix the club face and then more of a standard body pivot - especially trunk movement.

I recommend the Takeaway tip & close up of hand action tip to get you started.

Sorry for the delay on the response
