Hi everyone,
I've been trying S&T for the last while (about 6 or 7 months) and haven't been having a lot of success. My main problems are that my lower centre moves forward too fast and that I can't hold the wedge through impact. I'm still giving this swing a shot, but I've been considering going to a more traditional swing. My main reason is that there are no instructors in my area that understand S&T and learning it by myself from a forum is proving to be VERY difficult (although I must say thanks to N. Clearwater and all the guys who have helped me so far...my swing is better than it used to be for sure).
In the videos below, I'm still doing my S&T swing....well sort of. I was working on a suggestion on keeping my weight back to help slow down the movement of my lower centre. Pretty much I tried to keep my weight on the outside of my right foot to help control the movement of the lower centre. The other things I was working on was a better hinging of my left wrist and trying to direct my hands at a forward aiming point (I'm reading the Impact Zone right now). Because I was working on all these things a few things are a little out of whack (like how loose my arms are at the top of the swing).
I'm using a 9 iron in the video and there are 2 shots. The first is a 3/4 swing that went about 130 yards with a slight draw and the second is a full swing that went about 150 yards and was a push draw.
My misses today were an over draw and a slight push with shorter clubs, and a BIG push or push cut with longer clubs.
Any tips on slowing down my lower body would be awesome!
