Having a problem with my hammer release. I can’t seem to get the club face closed and my strike is with an open (little bite ) face. I’ve been following you for quite some time and am definitely a student. But having trouble with my driver.
Thanks

Hi Mitch!
Just yesterday in my Florida group, I had a good player who was hitting his clubs very well and when he got to the Driver, he was hitting them to the right; then as I was getting to him to help, I could see that he was starting to manipulate his hands and wrists to make the club close.
I told him by then, it was too late to even try to close the face; and it just means that the face was too open to begin with.
He said, the face looked closed; but because the ball is forward in the stance, it LOOKED CLOSED when the club was beside it; when I brought the club back to center, and made him square with the club, his grip was way less strong than with the rest of the clubs and I closed it by turning it closed in his hand.
Next 10 drives were 20 yards longer, penetrating, 2 to 5 yard draws. He could not believe it and is very happy now.
It does not matter what it looks like to you. All you want is for when you swing THROUGH THE BALL into the picture past the intermediate point that the ball flies the way you want WITHOUT MANIPULATION.
Same thing for me as your Florida friend; had to strengthen my driver grip because of the extra lag I am getting with the “battering ram”.
Had 2 students have the same deep aha moment on the range today! 😀👍
I wish you had a shot tracer so we could see the shot shape.
Experimenting with a couple apps right now…it should get better soon!
