Ted is absolutely correct. He's an awesome instructor and has made me a somewhat respectable golfer. For some reason, the longer the club the greater my tendency to get quick at the start. Ted in lessons has tried to ingrain in me that I need a slow start and should slowly increase my acceleration.
Two things happen when I get quick, the body gets out of sync as the lower body unwinds way too quickly for a hitter and secondly when I overaccelerate, I hang back, and run out of right arm. Complete disaster for a hitter.
