Swing Change

Problem

You have been trying to change your swing but are unable to make flush contact with the ball when you do.

Cure

Videotape your swing and watch it closely to ensure you are making this adjustment correctly. In addition to looking at your swing style, try to pay close attention to the clubface position. You want to be taking the clubhead back square for at least six inches and returning it the same way before impact.

Therapy

It is difficult to master a swing adjustment when you are also fixating about the result. First practice this change without a club or a ball. Once the adjustment feels correct, try it with a club. When the swing feels natural, you can start hitting balls.
