I’ve said that if you don’t implement all parts of a working model, it is bound to fall apart, but I’ve just discovered something in reverse – fix the issue and everything first unravels but then can be rearranged correctly.
You’ll note that, time and time again, I made changes to my setup and mechanics, only to say that while it was an improvement, there was still something off with the motion.
I got home and looked at some of the video I shot today, and I can’t believe how weak my grip felt today versus how it looks – it’s weaker than last week but still on the strong side, I’d say.
While it may not look much weaker, it definitely made a difference in my setup and swing action and I believe I’m not there yet but nearly.
Since I noticed that I had not stayed with the neutral grip that I mentioned having fixed, I have been looking extensively into the grip and why it’s not just recommended but required – and I discovered something else.
What that was, was that I really never “fixed” my grip to make it neutral, and that was the problem causing certain things to go off-script in my golf swing.
Let’s have some fun with technical analysis in this posting, shall we?
Instead of being enraged by something I noticed wrong with my swing yesterday, it gave me a delayed (after the annoyance phase) sense of satisfaction that I’m actually proving my theory in real time.
