First things first, kudos to Daryl. He spotted straight away that although I thought I was a hitter, in actual fact I was better off swinging.

Alex Sarry spotted it after playing 18 holes with me.

The following morning we had an hour and a half at the range working on keeping my left arm glued to my chest and a dead hands almost arched wrist position at impact.

The day after the range through 10 holes I was 4 under par! I dropped a couple of shots over the last 8 but still finished 1 under.

OB had asked me to post some video of what I was working on. The following clips were taken over the weekend Alex came to N Ireland. The driver was taken on the Friday before our range session. The two irons were taken on Monday after a lot of talk and a lot of work.

If admin want to move this to emergency rooms for swingers thats quite ok with me!

Can you explain what you mean by arched wrist, like Vijay Singh? What does that accomplish, and what do you do to get into that position?

To be honest GMB I couldn't explain.

I am a player not a teacher and as I'm sure Daryl will attest, I hate the detail!

I just do what I'm told to do and if it causes a better shot then I stick with it.

I might have them on youtube OB.

If I do I'll post links.

They are viewed using quicktime so if you haven't got that downloaded (its a free download) then that might explain it.

Nice stuff Styles. Just 'cause you're swinging now doesnt mean you cant do a little hitting now and then. And like Ted says "the right arm plays a big part in Swinging too. If it wasnt so you could just let it drop off the club with no adverse result." Or something like anyways.

Man, Royal Belfast looks great. The golf in your corner of the world is so fantastic. Do you make it down to Royal County Down often? That place has some serious soul.
