For the last few months I’ve been working on a bunch of different swing things: hip turn, shoulder turn, more stability, wrist hinge and lag, etc, etc., etc. One area that I was really struggling with was dropping the club I the slot on the downswing. I was very steep, over the top and I really didn’t want that to be my swing. Obviously that made me slice it at worse and “fade” it at best, but let’s call it what it was, not a great move.

I tried a drill. A drill I’ve seen done before and a drill I know works. But tonight a tried it. Bump and pump. So I bump hips left, which drops the arms (pump the arms)’ this puts the club inside delivering the club in-straight-in. Guess what…. I’ve got a draw now.

Have to work on it this weekend and on the course but it’s a great sign. I’ve never had a more consistently powerful, accurate, and pure ball striking range day yet. Center contact, ball first, nice draw and just a great feeling. Driver is still a mess, but that’s ok, one thing at a time.

Keys today:

Shoulder turn without bending the shoulders backward. Keep everything tight and over the right leg.

At the top, bump the left hip forward, drop the club inside and hold onto the hinge.

Turn thru it with a full release.
