I have noticed the same thing in my golf swing. Sometimes it is fine, but sometimes I am not even aware of the downswing. It just seems to happen so quickly that I have no control over it. This may one of the reasons that I can shoot 73 one round and 93 the next. I have been aware of this problem for some time, but have never heard it mentioned until I read the term "downswing blackout" in another post in this forum.

I would be interested in others comments and/or personal experiences on this plus drills, solutions etc.

Thanks.

Hi Heat!

First, I commend you for being honest and being upfront. I too, have been (and at times continue to be) a victim of downstroke blackout.

First - lets make sure we are on the same page. To me, 'downstroke blackout', is simply losing clubhead feel - and clubhead awareness on the downstroke. Is that your take?

Now, again for me, it is usually a result of overacceleration and obviously, a loss of lag pressure feel.

And, the answer to me lies in 3-F-5, last paragraph. The downstroke waggle (which, coincidentally, is the only place I remember the term downstroke blackout - it may be in other places, but I onlt recall it in 3-F-5).

Watcha think? Take the clubhead back - verify alignments - and drive the heavy clubhead through the impact zone to both arms straight! I love it!
