I put in some net time this evening in the back yard to see if I could figure out why I've been topping/thinning shots lately. Turns out, it's all in the right leg.
First off, I'm really focusing on a good shoulder swing so I don't get too "arms-y". Second, I'm working on getting a good weight transfer and hip turn. The final piece of the puzzle is my right leg. I took some super slow motion swings and found that I was actually straightening my right leg on the down swing which pulls me up out of the shot. What I really need to work on is getting my right knee moving toward the target when I start my hip turn. I can best accomplish this by feeling like my hips are directly attached to my right knee and pulling it with them. This gets me down into the shot.
If I overcook this idea I start hitting fat, but at least I'm staying down.
