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!
I have "downswing blackout" when I lose conscious focus of where I am directing my hands. Keep your mind in your hands. The putter is as important as the driver. You will no longer have to worry about the club head, face or shaft.
