Brian is the right side of the LawCongratulations on Brian Longmore winning the George Law Cup and getting his name on to the board. I have been working with Brian for many years now and in the last couple of months have made quite a few swing changes. The changes were hard to start with like many alterations but once he practiced them and grooved them in he is now reaping the rewards.
The Fault
Brian swung the club on to different planes. Flat on the way back then as the club got to the top of the back swing he then became upright and this resulted in Brian hitting many shots out the toe and also heavy.
Look through impact on how is hands are much As you can see at address he is in a good position
higher. This is to upright through the ball causing
the ball to be struck out of the toe.
Too flat on the initial takeaway with the club Then too upright at the top of the backswing
slightly on the inside
The Change
What we did with Brains swing was to keep the club working backwards and forwards on similar lines. This would help Brain with striking the ball and also make him much more consistent. His hands at impact were in the same position than they were at address.
Shorter backswing and more on plane Better through the ball resulting in better struck shots.
