I'm currently working on a pretty sizable swing change.
I'm working on increasing the steepness of my shoulder turn. I have a tendency to come out of shots because my shoulder turn is too flat.
Something I noticed on the range tonight whilst struggling is the amount that I don't have to use my arms in the swing. I've always just kind of slung my arms around my spine and made close to a 90 degree turn. I've found that if I focus more on steepening my shoulder turn and I swing my arms my swing gets wayyyy too long, I get really far across the line, and I fat the piss out of the ball.
However, if I assume that my chest and arms form a triangle, then keep the butt of the clubhead inside of that triangle as I turn, I am able to absolutely murder the ball. I still have a hard time turning at the right angle, but I build up some massive torque in the prcoess.
