    Well, I wasn't rotating my torso through the ball.....basically, I was swinging through the ball with my arms and my upper body was stuck behind. At least that's what it felt like. I mean, I have been playing 'decent' but I used to hit the ball pretty high and VERY straight. I couldn't miss with the driver.

    Well, about 2-3 years ago, I started duck hooking.....and I couldn't stop it. Well, I finally got it to where I could keep it on the lot...but I couldn't hit fairways with any regularity, I'd lost some distance and I was hitting the ball much lower.

    Well, I was practicing my short game friday and I was hitting some lob shots over a bunker....well, anyway, long story short...I had an 'aha' moment...I went to the range, hit a bucket and there I was. I just pictured rotating my chest and arms through the shot together.....what it actually looks like may be different, but that's what I'm envisioning.

    Yeah, gotta think of your arms as a pendulum. If you drag them through your swing, you'll slice it 'cause the face is open and away from you. If you bend at your wrists, you'll hook it 'cause the club face is closed and pitched inwards, towards you.

    The only bending allowed is in the elbows. Your wrists should rotate through the swing not bend. The rotation should be natural too, not forced. Like the same rotation you would have swinging a baseball bat or hockey stick. Just the natural flow of your wrists. Anything more and you'll get your arms out of alignment and screw up your swing. The only reason you bend your elbows is because that's how your store the energy of the swing in your arms. When your arms are close to your body, they spin fast and as you extend through the swing, you straighten your elbows and transfer that energy in to the club head. It's torque transference.

    But you don't swing your arms. You twist at the waist. Not in the hips, or legs, in the waist. You use your hips to transfer your weight through the swing as a counter balance. I'm sitting at my desk right now but if I had one of my clubs in my hands I could be sure. But the way I was taught by Ed (pro who taught us in high school...yes, we had a golf team) when I learned to play was to keep the leading arm parallel with the club through the whole swing and you'll have proper head placement and facing every time. We practiced that over and over again. Now, when I grab a club, any club, that's just how I hold it. No slice, no hook, just straight down the fairway. Nice, smooth swing, just like I described above. That's how Ed taught me and it's still how I do it today. Oh and all that stuff above is what he explained to me, not my personal analysis.

    I wish I had more time to keep up with golf. Helps if I had someone to go with too. It's a fun sport and you really only play against yourself. Ah, maybe when I retire I can spend more time on the links.
