The fact that I was flipping never occured to me.I just thought I hit the ball higher and softer than my playing partners.
I've taken three year off from golf for various reasons, job changes, etc. Now I want my game back and thought the DVD might be a great starting point especially after hitting the range a couple of times and just embarrassing myself.
So today after watching the tapes I went out and hit it very, very, well. Almost all my shots were straight or with a sweet little draw. I hit the occasional hook but even those felt pure. However, I still hit a bunch of shots fat. I mean chunked 'em. Is that from hitting down too sharply or flipping. I assume others have had this problem when changing their swing to TGM. Any suggested drills?
THANKS!!!!
Could be from flipping. Could also be from your weight distribution. You really have got to be left at impact...

Hula-Hula
MacDonald Drills
Trolio Hips

Watch video and look at pics of Yoda's swing. He ALWAYS has some pressure on that left foot. Watch Yoda teaching with dowels, ALWAYS has pressure on that left foot. Tour players, always (almost) centered at the top and a lot of Hula-Hula on the downstroke, always moving towards the target with their lower body. I'm convinced the secret to great ball striking lies in this pressure.
