Just some thoughts on my swing

Just realised what I had been doing wrong. Using the Burner 2.0, it has a more upright lie and was crouching over the ball a bit. Now standing more upright, the club comes back to impact better. But have to be less upright when using the wedges. My hybrid is more upright too, so that's ok. But the driver is less upright. So it seems it is best to get a set with all the same lie. Because even with a good clubfitter, he can't do much with the lie of the club. If I am not wrong, just couple of degrees either way max.

Another thing is to remember to extend/ release the club head towards the target and not to turn too early. A drill to do is to practice low punch shots to get the feel. Also need to do this with the chip and running and not bring the club up too early like the flop shot.

One more thing is that I was rolling the wrists or cocking it too early but doing a sort of forward press thingy, rather then an even take back with the cocking of the wrists at the about the 9 o'clock position. Sort of what Leadbetter wants you to feel when using the swing setter. Also at address the butt of the club should be just at the left of the zipper and no forward press of the arms.
