Here is more of me wrestling with my swing at a real tournament. I made a discovery of sorts watching Hogan on Saturday night and took it out to the practice round Sunday with some promising results. The new idea was to drag the bent left wrist in the takeaway (not a new idea) but then to open the face continuously as much as possible, something I had not done in the past. I have always preached opening the face in the backswing but it occurred to me that in order to get my wrists more active in the backswing and transition I had to be able to cock them more effectively, and this seemed to accomplish that. It also allowed me to be less lifted getting to the top which put less stress on my pivot. I like what has happened here with these swings but I still must move off the ball less, get more width in the takeaway, and keep my right leg flexed starting back, all old issues that still need to be addressed. My leg is not feeling so great right now, but I will be out there trying and will report in later.
