There’s no pressure on the range, but on the course it’s totally different. I drove the ball 200 yards on the range, but I got on the first tee and drove it like 100.. I know the feeling. You’re not alone.

I also notice a 2 key power moves here: i think about keeping the angle between your shoulder and your left arm during the initial downswing, and retaining the L shape in the wrists. These moves store power ready for release at impact. I’m not saying it’ll work for everyone but it’s doing wonders for my iron play and improving my driving.

well ,he is right …
well ,he is right about maintaing the angle between the shaft and the left arm,but the hips dont spin or turn on the downswing,that will get the shoulders to come down from the ouside ,hence causing an over the top move,Try to move the hips laterally and dont worry about the turn,they will automatically turn .Try it at home,shift your weight laterally then hips will automatically turn.,
Happy Golfing People

For me, the key phrase here was to keep the right palm up duriing the initial downswing. For an habitual slicer this has really paid dividends, and I’m getting more distance and snap in both driver and iron shots. Thank you expert village.

I have tried …
I have tried everything for more than 20 years. You name it: Hogan’s Supination, Sam Snead’s pull down the butt of the club, Moe Norman’s one plane, Swing the Handle system, A.J. Bonar’s little home run, David Leadbetter, etc.. Some of them worked well for a little while and then went awry.
The most consistent, for me at least, is swingmachinegolf by Paul Wilson.
Try it: Powerless arms and wet spaghetti wrists.
