So here is the deal, off and on for the last 7 months I have been fighting a pull, and sometimes a pull draw. I just kept tracing with some dowels and never saw much success.
So yesterday I finally got it on film. My swing was very upright, My forearms had a lot of turn on the backstroke, and my arms just lifted up. From the frontview my shoulders had turned very little and my hands had already reached right shoulder high.
So then I looked at John Rigger's swing in slow motion. wow totally different than mine. His shoulders look to be turning as the club was moving up and in. The clubface doesn't appear to have much fanning either.
So now I am feeling that my shoulders, hands and arms are all turning back, and I am trying to feel like my left arm moves much more across my chest, just trying to be flatter, so I can actually swing down, forward, and out.
Could my tracing practice have thrown me off this much. My swing has never been so upright, to the point that it is almost impossible for my downswing, to be down, forward, and out.
For almost a year my only focus has been my hands, is it time to start thinking about my shoulders, arms, hips?
You are probably not tracing the plane line or are way too upright.The illusion of the plane line from above is sometimes confusing -for me anyway .A flat backstroke shoulder turn helps me,together with lots of practice with dowels along the base of the plane line and the angle of approach.Although i am a swinger and actually use an arc of approach procedure the angled dowel gives a good idea of tracing the plane line.
