Time to Swing like a Pro
So Friday I figured that since my swing has been shifting a bit, might as well break down and start switching to a pro swing. I have always had a more self-taught bent arm backswing while standing pretty straight. I figured it would take about a month to start getting the hang of because trying to rotate and bend while maintaining a straight arm backswing like they do it on tv is a little awkward. However, after watching super slo-mo videos of swings like Tiger's on youtube and having Cheryl tell me when I looked about right as far as angle of back to legs I was ready to tackle it. Plus, anything would be better than the current slice disaster going on. Amazing. It felt much easier and comfortable than I had pictured and tried inside. And... The flights were much more controlled and straight and the distance was solid (was hitting consistent 250-270 and a few hit 300 so I felt happy having tried it out for the first time, can only get further from here). No wonder they all do it like this. I am excited to head over to the range tomorrow to get ready for a round with the new swing Monday. Should be nice, calling for 82!!
