Adding More Angles

Whenever I take a video of my swing, I get so frustrated and feel so embarrassed. So many things have been changed through practice, but still so many things I really want to change. Everyone’s swing is different and nobody is perfect. There are some common motions most professional players have and I want to have. Every change takes long time, but I don’t mind.

Today lesson was adding more angles on my swing. Wrist hinge is a controversial part for golfers. Some pros say you don’t need to and some says you should. After the lesson, I prefer adding some wrist hinge when I take away. I feel more angles on my wrists on backswing and on the top. My swing seems tighter, but impact is better.

One of my prior coach asked me to make early wrist hinge 7 years ago. I made angles very noticeable and uncomfortable. It was my swing for 2 years and I changed a coach. My another coach was really against my wrist angle at takeaway. I took a long time to get rid of angles. Now I am with coach Alex and he wants to add it to my swing. He said I don’t need to, if I don’t want to. Of course, I want to! But I know he will teach me a right way to do, not like my early year swing with awkward hinges.
