Inner city,i couldnt get the link to work?
For those purists,please dont concern yourselves in thinking that i will lose whatewver swing i may have if i work on austins swing for a bit,as it is what i love doing,trying anything and everything.
DAY 1.
began swinging ala austin slowly using 7 ir,i found i just wasnt quite understanding mikes description properly,i was simply using a form of vertical hinging and not much else,the shots were very high,yet still getting some good distance,but the 1 thing it was lacking was compression,i think the distance was just because the height.
Now,my way of learning is most likely different to most,not happy with the 7ir learning process,I went straight into driver,now,without me waffling on too long,i will cut to the chase!
After hitting a few drives very high and VERY right,I started to use homers and Lynns self examination process...LOOK...LOOK...LOOK,the main things I discovered was that in order to get compression and accuracy,I began concentrating on 1. R/forearm alighnment,a frozen R/bent wrist,and the MAIN thing for me was the(from Top backswing)down into release area,I would turn R/levers in a clockwise direction about a 1/4 turn simultaneously with the downswing and this was assisting my "underhanded" delivery into impact ,the results were amazing,very long but still a bit on the high side,but I have never hit driver that long before....
I will hope to have more info on this in the coming days,the interesting thing that has come out of this so far,is the fact that I am still using so many of Homers teachings along the way, ie: lever alighnments,frozen wrist, or better put,flying wedges,the pivot is pretty standard,being able to dismantle componants and work on them seperatly is a real bonus .
Now,if some here feels Im doing something incorrect with the swing,by all means chip in........BM
