Hello. I've been into TGM since early fall last year. It has done wonders to my game. I have learned alot reading here. But I've hit a brick wall in a couple of parts in my swing..

Here's my sequences.





The problems:
-Arched left wrist. I just can't seem to hit the ball well with a flat left wrist. It seems like my left wrist is so arched at the top, that I have to flip a little bit in the downswing, so that my primary lever radius isn't too short.
-Slight overswivel.

Any help with these problems would be greatly appreciated. Other advice on increasing the precision in my stroke also welcome.
Thanks.

Get off the mat and on to some grass (preferably the good stuff that Bucket uses- high quality)- that will allow you to really hit down on it better and have better pivot lag.
Stand a little closer
Get the right shoulder a little more back and down i.e. square up the shoulders at address
Both of those will allow you to take it back more inside and flatter (on plane)
What you try to do and what you do are two entirely different things- in addition the feel of where you've been and the feel of the change to get better will require some "exagerated sensations" on the short term- you need "really inside and really flat".
That will put you in a location where the body will be in the way of the "hands to ball line" at the top. When you make an effort to take your hands to the ball - you'll require the body to move out of the way a lot more.

Now for the areas to look at in the down line sequence.
Look at the hand location on frame 1,2,5,6,7,8 On- Plane? Notice the changes from one frame to another.

Notice the hip rotation or lack thereof in frames 5,6,7,8 on the down the line sequence. Also, on the same face on sequences- there is quite the stopping of the pivot and the releasing of the hands and arms. Probably something you'd see in a 5-10 handicap but not in a pro.

Check out the prolonged "head down- eye on the ball" in frame 11.

With that said- Nice swing! Nice improvement! Keep it up! You're getting there. Pick the things that you want to work on and make sense to you- don't listen to everyone (that includes this post) - don't hand the steering wheel over to anyone- make sure you're the one driving the car!!
