I've tried them all, feeling at times like Tin Cup. Recently I came across the Orange Whip. It seems like a simple, and perhaps effective, tool. The Orange Whip is supposed to help groove the timing of the swing. With my focus back on a simple arm swinging motion as prescribed by Manuel de la Torre, it seems like this might be a tool that could shorten the re-learning process.
I hit balls over the weekend, thinking of nothing but taking the club back with the hands, forward with the arms, throwing the club towards my target. I hit a number of thin shots and a fair number of blocked shots. I also hit some beautiful soaring shots right at the target. I was most effective when I kept some attention on the clubhead swinging in a circular fashion. That focus seemed to smooth out my swing considerably. It will take time to eliminate my "hitting" action I've developed over the past four years. I can't wait to get rid of it!
