It's in the head
 

People tend to "steer" less (or even don't) when there is no ball to be hacked.

As long as it's hacking, it's still gonna be an "inside-out-cutting hack shot".

Find the "cause", which is in the head, and fix it.

What does "hacking" mean?

Had to change doctors Micheal . . . You keep chopping all my doctor's heads off. Can you please stop so I that I may re-calibrate. Thank you very much!

Thats a very concise and really helpful note. I will print them and hangit on my wall next to my wife !:laughing9

What really really helped me to practice is to rehearse the impact alignments against an impact bag, to rid of common "ilusions", cut shot theraphy , also to get rid of ilusions, look look feel look, and monitoring of the pressure points. From Slicer to Hooker ... !

Besides this, what are good practice Drills for say a Swinger? Save me some monies for lessons :happy3:

Hacking the Ball
 

'Hacking' means hitting at the Ball (rather than swinging through the Ball). It is characterized by swinging from the Wrists, Over-Acceleration and Quitting. In other words, Clubhead Throwaway with its Bent Left Wrist and Flat Right Wrist Syndrome.

The Action is commonplace and may be seen daily on Golf Courses and Practice Tees throughout the world.

It produces only Hackers.

You Hacker!!!!!!!!
 

I teach a guy with the last name Hacker! :laughing1
Boy, does he catch he77! Try calling for a tee time, calling to schedule a lesson, etc., with that last name.

A kid with the last name shanks was one of the best junior golfers in the state, go figure!

Thank you very much, Yoda.

Nose in Book
 

Boss . . . back to the book that be yellow . . . would we be talking the 2nd Snare?

Quitting -- Steering's Enabling Henchman
 

Yes. Quitting (3-F-7-B) is the enabling action of Steering, the First Snare (3-F-7-A). It diverts the Clubhead from its true, Down Plane Orbit -- across the Impact Plane Line and toward the parallel Low Point Plane Line -- and Steers it down the Target Line instead. The result -- geometric disaster with its real-world consequences -- belies its innocent origin, i.e., the logical and well-meaning advice to "swing the clubhead toward the Target".

The cure is to swing the Club all the way Down Plane through Impact to Low Point (3-F-7-E). And this requires taking the Clubhead and the Hands into Impact (7-3). It is axiomatic that you cannot do this if the Hands Quit. Even after Low Point, the Thrust continues Down Plane as the Bent Right Arm straightens toward the Plane Line --not toward the Target! -- and into the Full Extension of Both Arms in the Follow-Through (1-L-#15).
