KCee That's the real struggle for me. I just took a lesson last week and the instructor had me swinging unbelievably well, but then a few days later at the range I cannot repeat that success even though I felt like I had it. I feel like I'm doing the same thing, but the results are not there. And if I can't duplicate by myself on the range then I certainly can't bring it to the course.
I think I understand the golf swing decently, but I can rarely make a good swing these days.
Yup, and every golfer at all skill levels struggles with this. The best example is Tiger. Why couldn't he just go back to the Butch or Hank swing and get back on track. It's not that easy. We find it, lose it, find it, lose it. It's never ending.
I doubt I can do what Broderick teaches (late release). I have an early release and any attempt to hold it off I struggle with contact. I know what works for me.
The things I already use that he teaches is I do externally rotate my right arm at address (elbow facing out). I also play all my irons in the middle of my stance (wedges maybe a ball back).
I also rotate around the top of my spine although my feel is my head (keep it still). I'm an upper body swinger, meaning I don't consciously do anything with my lower body (which he espouses also, no hip stuff).
So I guess I already do a lot of what he advocates except the late release. With an early release you can't move off the ball with any weight shift or it's a crap shoot where you'll bottom out. Also, Jack Nicklaus felt like he released right from the top and Mike Austin advocated no effort to hold any angles. They didn't advocate casting etc., though.
I don't really care about more distance. I have no problem playing from an appropriate tee box for my swing. I do find Broderick's videos interesting and he gets as good a result as anyone I've seen on YouTube.
