| Ball position
I had a moment of clarity last night. One of those rare times where you just stand up and say F-it, if it aint broke, I aint fixin it.
I play the ball back in my stance with my irons. My 3 iron starts in the middle and every following club progresses back a bit. I play my PW just inside my back foot. I have tried for nearly three years to fix this, to try and play the ball in a more normal position. The results have been regression instead of progression. The minute I put the ball back again, I hit it solid with a nice soft draw.
This had me thinking about a few things, number one being the bottom of my swing. With my natural swing the bottom of my arc is dead middle of stance and moves backs as bend over more with the shorter clubs. Thats when it dawned on me. You cant fix this problem because it isnt a problem. It is what it is. This is the spot your club hits the turf, so logically its the best spot for the ball to be . Seems pretty obvious.
So in short I am done reading tips, done with drills that try to change what is natural. I am doing what feels right and produces the best results for me.
It might not be text book, but it works.  |
