now for something completely different

I've been playing really really badly so when I showed up to my lesson today no surprise she was like, uh, what's going on here?

My backswing has started to come around my body again which has made worse by, I think, trying to turn, and by I think.... my old swing being close to my body but this is for sure something Mike worked on with me too.  I'm not sure how this happened but aehhhh it has.

Here is the badness.  I mean, where is the butt of that club pointing and why is it all so close to my body and why is that club face pointing straight down?  Ugh.  So apparently this is why I have been hitting fluffy shots to the right and also why I suck.  So... after about ten different ways of telling me and showing me and physically moving me we got this.

 

 

Still would be nice to have that club a little less pointed out like the first one.  So she just put my in the right spot. 

 



This is a little bit more vertical that I'm used to but it also feels good - it feels like my swing two weeks ago before I started messing it up.  Vertical is good for women, it helps them get more power and for me it will help close my club face because right now it's not.  Also need to work on that straight take away like I was working on with Mike and was working on before seeing my new pro.  I just had forgotten about it in all honestly.  So with that comes starting the hinge right away and lifting up while turning so that my wrist isn't collapsed.  After all that I hit the ball... my brain hurts.  This is going to take a lot of getting used to maybe.  I hope not because I guess I was doing it before but somehow stopped.  Go figure. 

I am playing a round tomorrow but not sure it will be very good with all these swing thoughts swishing around in my head.  Here is to another week of range work.
