Ted had me really rolling my left wrist through impact but (and this for me was key) not rolling my wrists and moving the club AROUND my body (which I always mistook to be the proper way to "roll") but rather rolling my left wrist over UP THE LINE! When I do this, it feels like I'm abreviating my finish, but of course I'm doing nothing of the kind, I'm merely staying more on plane than I was used to. It feels more like a tennis swing finish than my old "wrappy" golf swing finish. But, again- it works a lot easier with an 8 iron than with a driver, so something's really not right. I'm dying to have a decent driver swing- to me, a nice, tight, 220yd draw would be a godsend. Yes, I said 220, which would be better than my 240yd push slice or my 80yd pop up. If you have any physical thought(s) you can share with me about the driver, fire away.
One advice. Mental Approach. One step at a time. Learn one thing and move on to the next, then another and another. A lot of small steps lead to the top of the mountain. Ask Ted to teach you how to practice. It's not about hitting balls. As you improve it may feel like you take a step back wards once in a while. Stick with it. Ted's great.
