Well it was an evening of discovery at the range this evening, particularly after my round yesterday afternoon I was anxious to get to the bottom of a few things. Although I had played a couple of good ball striking rounds, I needed to find out why it went so wrong and felt so foreign in the afternoon. It took nearly 300 balls this evening but I think I found some very important things out, but I won't know these for a fact until next time I hit the course.
I'll summarise these things rather than waffle on:
* My set up is crucial!! Get over the ball!! I worked on establishing my set up position and then adjusting this until I could reach under my knee caps!!
*I have taken the focus off of my shoulder rotation in my backswing and trying to trust that if I stay in my spine angle I will turn in the 48" zone!!
* The '2' move is absolutely crucial to my ball striking!! I will now be focusing on this by making the move by increasing the flex in my left knee!
* Shoulder turn through the ball. I ascertained that this was definitely my problem yesterday. I know how to distinguish the feeling between turning and tilting my shoulders and for some reason the tilting thing was feeling very natural!! Aargh - that is not good, and I realised this was true because when I rehearsed some slow motion shoulder rotations it felt very strange. However I built this up from short backswings and before I knew it I was crunching it and it felt so easy! I think this is where I struggle when things go bad and so I will need to be aware of it when things go bad.
I'll probably elaborate more as and when. For now at least I have documented this....
