For the past year and a half I have struggled with pulls.

Here are the concepts I have been working on that seem to be helping.

1) Not letting my right shoulder go down and out as much as I felt in the past. I do a lot of start down waggles and feel my right shoulder go down just slightly. From there my arms swing past my body.

2) Try to keep the rotation of my body more passive.

3) Feeling the left wrist unlock more inside the plane line, which I believe keeps the clubhead more inside the plane line, but then I feel my clubhead travel more toward the plane. I still believe it is downward outward and forward.

4) Lastly, I feel that am getting to both arms straight alittle sooner. In the past I believe I kept my right elbow overly bent and left wrist too cocked and a bit arched, which caused some roundhousing.

I would really like to hear some thought on this.

Lastly, How soon do you feel your left wrist begin to uncock?

Nathan,
Interesting post - as items 1-4 that you are working on for not pulling the ball - would normally be items one would work on if they were trying not to push the ball. However, after envisioning your four items and how they might stop you from pulling the ball- my guess would be that all of them might tie in well with "standing up" from the top to impact i.e. losing your "waist bend". Just a wild guess on my part. However, if I were right then you've stopped the pulling by creating compensations that counter act the original unsolved issue (whatever that may be). If that were the case then you'd want to do the opposite of items number one through four and then find out what stops the pulls while you are doing those.

Since you don't have video- it's best that you figure out what to work on or what information that might be helpful for you, as it could be one of a million issues or combination of issues. And any particular post to help - could be way off base (including this one!)
