Smooth = Even (took me 20 years to figure this out (after some lessons))
I finally took some lessons (took lessons 20 years ago and started taking them again). A couple of lessons ago, my coach was talking about how to resolve my casting issue and he said to try an “even backswing and swing”. He didn’t say smooth. He didn’t say slow.
Once I kept the pace of my shoulders the same on the backswing and swing (at least that is my “feel”), I was hitting the ball much better.
Then - I saw this Golf Digest video: https://youtu.be/9nIMYfBUY0Y?si=1te5vusKxq6sSlDG.
They said the same thing! If I didn’t have my lesson, I don’t think I would have understood what they meant.
Bottom line - I should have gotten lessons a long time ago.
