I was wondering if any one has any suggestion on how to take a swing to the course. I read TGM when I have free time. I also watch my videos of my swing that I took with my AI. I practice my swing with my impact bag. I am also educating my hands by swing with each arm separtedly and I LOOK! LOOK! LOOK! at my wrist position's When I am at the range. ( FLat left wrist/bend right wrist) I can hit some awesome shots. I make sure that I am in balance and bringing the hole club to the ball.
My problem is when I take it to the course I lose my rhytem. I get to fast and I think I really have too smack it. Which, I know is not correct. I really hit some poor shots, shot that I know won't hit the fairway or the attend target. DOWN SWING BLACKOUT!
I went to the range this afternoon and worked on light grip preasure. So, I could feel , The loading of the sweet spot against PP # 3 and sustaining it. Work pretty good at the end of my session.
In reading through this thread, I would agree that Patrick came the closest to the root cause of DSBO....clubhead awareness. There was also a comment, I think from 6b, about the natural defense mechanism of the body.
All the suggestions for the cures of DSBO are perfect but I think they will work better with a more solid definition of the problem.
I'm seeing DSBO as a natural reaction of the body's defense mechanism when the clubhead is coming toward you, even in the slightest amount, during the swing. The eyes blink and the head moves away from that force. A natural reaction.
There is also the desire to move the club forward too soon and this causes the balance problem. Because, at some point we realise that we have to stop to let the clubhead catch up or redirected. When that happens it feels like it is a tempo problem because of the out of alignment and the feeling that everything is out of control. Again, the body then responds defensively by trying to get out of the way of that force.
I'd say then that the above suggestions will help keep the clubhead away from your head during the crucial moments of the "down/out to low point" concept. The rock at the end of a string kinda thing.
Downstroke blackout = Losing awareness of all that is involved in clearing the right hip (clear as in slide or move out of the way to avoid right hip/elbow interference).
Like almost all involved in golf, you can do a better job of promoting hip clearance on the range than you can when actually playing. During practice, you don't feel as much desire to steer the ball to the hole, or to over-accelerate. I'd say certainly know this when you play.
Maintain clubhead feel until after impact (A lot easier said than done, when you feel you must make the ball go X yards). That's almost a sure bet that your body will have done what is necessary to avoid right hip/elbow interference, as if the interference occurred, throw away would have resulted, which, in turn, would have made you lose clubhead feel.
Also, let the brain know how you'd like the body to respond to the hands per 8-1 and by practicing downstroke waggles.
