Hi there fellow golfers. I have been using a hitting stroke for my short shots - chips and pitches with reasonable success. I thought since it was a simpler stroke I would become a pure hitter and hit all my shots. In the past I had been taught a "classical" swing. Not having any great level of consistency with it and always felt I was more naturaly a hitter. (once I learned what hitting is and realising that what instructors in the past were trying to correct were components of a "natural" hitting action). So I have seen a TGM instructor and gone through the basics of the hitting action. I have downloaded every Ted Fort video from this site and watched them over and over...
I have a few questions to you experienced hitters out there:
1. If hitting should my ball flight always be a fade?
Hitting best done with angle hinge - angle hinge = fade. is that right?
2. When I practice hitting and also when playing a round of golf hitting I end up with very sore muscles. Neck, back shoulders, left hip, just about everything. Is this normal? I can't practice or play two consecutive days Will my body adapt eventually? Has anyone else experienced this?
3. Is there a pause at the top of a hitting action before the start down?
4. How much of a wrist hinge/cock is there in a hitting stroke? Ted F mentions "frozen" alignments of the left and right wrists throughout the stroke in one of the videos.
and watched them over and over...
