First week at work and I managed to get to the range at lunch twice so far, (my new job is less than 10 mins drive!) :laugh:.
I am working on implementing two moves.
Move 1: By SLOWLY dropping the left shoulder down instead of around and by extending my backswing (really feeling the stretch and resistance in the left shoulder blade), I feel that I am getting into a much more powerful trigger position.
Move 2: This one is going to take some work. One of my weaknesses is not driving my legs through quickly enough. At impact my hips are square to the ball. I would like my hips to be past impact and already starting to face towards the target at impact to create lag. I am trying to whip my hips through by focusing on sliding my left butt check back and round away from the target. Again I feel that there is some level of success here.
Good news, I have virtually eliminated a hook. And I KILLED the ball this weekend, probably one of my best ball striking games ever. I know I am onto something. HOWEVER. My weak shot is now a block. Still getting good distance but blocking maybe 20-30 yards, more consistently than I would like.
I know it could be alignment, could be getting ahead of the ball (instead of keeping my head behind the ball) but I am open to other suggestions. Thanks.
