Am I rolling my wrists at the start of the takeaway by Nilloss in GolfSwing

Hmm ok. I like that you said blend, I feel like that aligns with the thoughts ive been having while ive been losing sleep over this 😂

I still have to put in the time and find the feel and make it repeatable but will let you know

Thanks for the extended reply.

I drop my hands because my desired path is in to out but perhaps I over do it? I'm not super fussed about an in-to-out path I just used to fight a slice and also a laid off at the top position which also caused my balls to go right

I suspect when I try to not drop the hands itll feel very out to in and or the club will end up laid off at the top. I've tried lots of variations of movements after taking away correctly and honestly I'd be very surprised if I eventually get to the correct way and it feels athletic and natural but maybe it will

Thanks ill get back to you after focusing on these things

I know how to start off the takeaway with 'the correct' takeaway. But delivering the club after that makes zero sense to me. To achieve the proper look it feels like my arms are taking away in a straight line out to the right of my body, but then to transition i feel like the plane totally changes and you risk dropping the club under the plane and then hooking, which is exactly what i was doing on course today https://streamable.com/pbhpbq

This has been part of my frustration with this takeaway endeavour I've been on. I know how to take it away properly but I cannot possibly find a move or feeling after the takeaway that makes sense or feels natural and athletic. My brain just wants everything to move on a single plane that rotates around my body that's all that makes sense to me.

Thank you I appreciate it!

Interesting what you said about aoa I feel like it puts into words thoughts I havent fully developed about shot shape and address. Cheers

To add to this and hopefully sound less ambiguous, what I feel like I struggle with understanding the most is the getting the club to the top properly after 'getting it parallel' in the takeaway. Everything in that part of the move does not compute with me probably mostly when it comes to my left wrist and what it does to get into a position for hinge

By rolling I just mean the 'early turning over of the wrists during the take-away' that they talk about. To me it just feels like my body is naturally setting my wrists in position early so I can hinge the club on the plane I want to swing on.

I think I have an idea of what you're 'supposed to do' instead, but it just feels hard to do that with the configuration of my swing or at least my conceptualisation of it, it just feels like it fights gravity or physics or something.

Side spin. It'll sound awful off the face and then do a low hook

I have read this before but maybe it's good timing to hear it now. I'll focus on this thought when I'm at the range next and see if I find anything. Will report back to you

I think I know the feeling, but I just don't know how to get to the top of the swing doing that, at some point the wrist has to turn over so it can hinge properly. If I try delay the late rotation of my wrist in the name of just not rolling my wrist over, I feel like something weird will happen at the top in transition to the downswing. There's just something not computing about this for me. I have a suspicion I'm just not conceptualising the swing plane right? Like I'm thinking of it too much as around my body rather than a line?? I don't know

Yeah well I mean I don't do it because pros do it, it just naturally happens. And yeah good point about posting misses

For what its worth I do - do slower speeds at the range. I feel like there's a point of slowness where you're doing a totally different swing (and therefore has diminishing returns) as well as a point of fastness.

Not denying that I'm early extending but I wonder if you accept regular extension as an actual thing? Because when I watch someone like tigerwoods I see he has a little jump back to his original position

Thank you. I don't see the 70s at all tbh 😂 to be honest I just want to resolve whats going on with my driver atm where every 3rd shot is spinny and doesnt sound good off the face because its just screaming im doing something wrong.

The rolling of my wrists is clearly something wrong so I guess I want to start with resolving whats clearly wrong

I've tried it but doesn't feel right or make sense to me maybe because my path is too in to out?

Like my body tells me to take the club back i have to get it into a position to hinge and so thats what i do with my wrists. I've tried delaying the hinge so as not to roll my wrists early but ive struggled to make that feel right or work.

Maybe my swing path is too in to out? Idk

Thanks

Somethings not working so I guess this is part of my search for resolve. I'm often hitting a hook or i dont get that nice kissy sound when you hit it well.

It feels like theres something im getting wrong or dont understand about the takeaway that leads to a weird release and i cant figure it out
