Jeff’s ball striking had deteriorated recently, especially with the irons, experiencing constant right to left spin and overdraws along with the odd block out to the right. We noticed right away that he was tilting his head to the right at address, then immediately moving it to the left as his backswing started. The swing, being a continuous motion, moves in patterns, and Jeff’s leftward tilt was followed by a rightward tilt in the forward swing. At the same time the head was moving back to the right, it was also pulling away from the ball. With the upper body moving backwards away from the target line as well as away from the ball, Jeff’s shaft was continuously shallowing in the forward swing, which brought the clubhead to a position well inside the hands at P6. With his approach extremely in -to -out Jeff had to turn his hands over quickly to square the face, not the most efficient way to go about it. We worked on stop and go drills to get the upper body loading right in the takeaway, trying to achieve a bit of tilt away from the target at the top while maintaining his right leg brace.
