Had a break through today
Im a high handicapper about 3 years into playing golf. I know the joke is, "wait a week". But I dont think i can go back to my old habits again.
Grip pressure. That was it. I held the grip like a baby bird, swung easier, let the club do the work and made the best contact of my life. Even my 5 iron which i never pull out on the course because im afraid of it, was purely struck today. Things ive been working on with the takeaway and body position just slotted into place with less gripping and forcing the club through a swing.
Cant wait to get back out. Feel like i leveled up today.
