Kinda hard to explain but I’ll try.

I have an outside takeaway (by choice) and “fall into” the slot to get shallow before committing to my downswing.

In my last lesson with my coach, he told me that I should be using the force of my club to hinge/break my wrists and “whip” the club to create speed and help with my chunking (huge problem for me).

Is this common practice? Not sure if it’s just an early feel thing but so far it’s only hurt my consistency. Doing this has made the club head fall way behind and I think it’s actually increased my chunking.

Due to my transition motion, I’m also not sure when I should be doing this? When I fall into the slot or when I swing after that?

This is the second time I’ve had an “aha” moment that completely flipped my game for 2-4 rounds and then faded into oblivion.

I’m a low-mid 100s guy with a huge chunking issue. Almost never break 100. After hundreds of $ in coaching, cycling through all the feels in the world, etc, I finally thought “why not just look 3 inches in front of the ball since I keep hitting behind it?”

I went out that day and shot a 92. I felt like a completely different golfer. Every iron swing felt so sexy and flush. It was instant.

The following three rounds, my strikes and score got slowly worse and worse. Now I’m officially back to chunking everything and shooting 105 no matter how far in front of the ball I look.

This also happened with the “keep your back to the target” feel last year.

Why must the golf gods give me a taste of being an average golfer and then take it away so cruelly?
