Ross I was watching a couple of your drill videos and went to the range. I kept the back swing relatively short and then rotated through the ball. I think my club was straight up and down at the top of the backswing and my hands got no higher than shoulder height. It seemed like I was compressing the ball and the ball was going fairly straight. I then went and played nine holes and shot two over with two three putts. Is there a danger in using the short drill swing as my real swing? It seemed like the ball flight was lower but my approach shots stopped on the green. I’ve been in my typical mid season slump and this almost seemed like an “Eureka” moment but thought I would ask the expert if I’m playing with fire here.
