My game shows that I need some improvement to get to where I want to be. My swing is outside to in, not by a ton, but by enough that I can miss with either a pull or a slice. I am also very inconsistent with my irons right now. During a round I will slap some band aids on my driver and be able to pretty much guess what I am tending to do and work with it.
This is not how I want to be...
I want to shorten my swing. Right now, every iron goes to at least parallel, if not further with my driver going past parallel by just a little. Ideally, My driver will be the only club getting to parallel, everything else will stop short of that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k0rfuNyXBM is a great video that shows what I am trying to do.
When I can get the motion down, I am planning to add power and consistency.
Right now I am using the Medicus dual hinge swing trainer to help me accomplish this.
My goal is to be able to hit a hook that starts out to the right of my target and ends up to the left. I just am not able to do this yet, but I feel that I am getting closer.
I have begun to try swinging more on plane by taking my hands and club out an exagerated amount to the outside, and then bringing the club in from the inside. The scary thing about this drill is that when I look at it on camera in the PGA superstore, even though it feels exagerated, it really is not. I also notice that my swing automatically is shorter when I do this, and I also notice that I get anywhere from 3-8 mph of clubhead speed faster when I make swings like this. I think this is because I am not casting any longer.
I will keep swinging the medicus every day this week and hit up the cameras at the Superstore in a few days.
