Craig I'm having some success with the compression drill using my PW and 7.

Hi Craig I'm having some success with the compression drill using my PW and 7 iron and I finish off my practice session with some full swings. It's transferring to the course now, but then breaks down after the first 5 holes as the 'old' swing returns. Chris explained how and why that happens in the excellent webinar yesterday. On the course I'm only using my irons on the fairway to try to groove the Axiom without too many distractions. Of course I tee off with the Driver and I'm wondering if that's what might be causing the deterioration? I can't hit my woods or hybrid reliably on the fairway, which indicates I'm not doing the same move with my longer clubs - hence mainly using 6 iron in play. Something must be transferring though as in general my drives are a bit longer and straighter (but I can sometimes hit the ground behind the ball meaning I'm not transferring my weight fast enough and then arms take over). But it would be handy to be able to play my 5 wood and hybrid on the fairway to get a bit more distance than my 6 iron. Would it be a good step to keep on with 7 iron compression drill but then also do the same drill with say a 5 wood, or even a driver to transfer the Axiom move to these longer clubs? I've got a few weeks before the playing season starts. Thanks Diane

Hello Diane. Great to hear the swing is going in the right direction. Glad you enjoyed Chris's webinar. The compression drill may be too short to help with the driver or longer fairway woods. You need some speed and more time to develop with the lower loft and wider radius of the club. We would be happy to take a look at the driver swing. More often than not players don't allow the club to work for them and try to over power the motion.
