vj, any update on your friend? I'm curious if any images/drills/techniques helped him out.
As I mentioned I'm working on this now, also...I should also mention I've not worked with an AI, but hope to this golf season, so take this w/ a grain of salt.
After studying the TT vids and a week or so of great lag and solid contact, the blocks, hooks, and fats started creeping back in. Working on my plane and extensor action didn't really the problem, but it did expose hands that were being controlled by my pivot and were less educated than I thought. My hands, in response to my pivot were dropping way under plane and felt like I was hitting up on the ball. Over the past couple of years I've made changes to my swing that helped short term, but as I got comfortable with the changes, the poor pivot and uneducated hands which led to downstroke blackout always derail my progress.
I'm tired of this happening, so I've resolved to educate my hands. This week I've taken my pitching wedge to the range and hit punch shot after punch shot, only worrying about pressure points and wedges, tracing the plane line, and taking a divot in front of the ball. I'm finally feeling it...in my hands/pressure points, basically on plane, w/ pivot responding to their movements. Lots of shots are straight on, lots are slight pulls (lifting/rolling and not clearing the right hip on the way back I think), but almost all are solid, rising shots with tons of spin. A few fades and fats when I come in too high and drop the club under, but NO BLOCKS. Still work to be done w/ dowels, tracing the plane line, and trying everything out with the rest of my clubs, but the overall swing feels way different (better) than my block swing.
