Grundy10 10 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Roll your wrists. More than likely when you coming down with your swing your opening your club face. Roll the club face around a little bit and then get your grip until you start rolling your wrists correctly. That way when you dont roll them, the head of the club will still be straight. You might also be coming inside out on your downswing. Thats what I used to do. When I would reach the top of my swing instead of following the same path back down I would bring it down and and strike the ball with the club going from the inside out. Just a few thoughts..haha...

bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I may be able to hit it 150-200 yards on a good day. Almost hit eric mcclanahan in his head. Hit it with my 7 and it boucned off a tree and came like 1 foot away from his head. I also think i sat a new record. I hit 4 trees with 2 swings of the club..lol In other words, i suck at golf, but would like to improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Yeh, go ahead and roll those wrists...if your timing isn't exact, one of two things will happen - big slice or snap hook. Its funny...when you are a beginner, you are taught to use your hands more in the swing...once you become a better player, you are taught to take your hands out of the swing. Some people never reach that next level... If he's slicing the ball, his swing CAN'T be going from inside to out...just the opposite, its coming from the outside to in, cutting across the ball, putting clockwise spin (for a righty) on the ball, starting out left of target and ending up way right of target.

Grundy10 10 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Your right GMan...The whole time I read the post I was reading slice but thinking hook for some reason...On most golf courses a slight slice is usually a good thing. and if your are hooking to the right (assuming he is a righty)(also, this was my problem for a long time) most of the time it is a timing issue as well as not getting your hands across quick enough, therefore the rolling of the wrists is necessary if your gonna get your club facing square with the ball on impact. Unless you akwardly dont move your wrists at all in your back swing which I have never saw anybody do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
