How difficult is it to correctly judge the timing of hand rotation through impact? A couple of examples from Tiger's match with Tim Clark indicate that it can be very difficult.
On the 12th hole, a 189 yard par 3, Tiger hit an 8 iron that ended up well right of the green. Nick Faldo's comment: "Late, tried to rotate and save it." Tiger was unable to square the clubface at impact despite his sense that the clubface was open and he needed to increase his hand rotation.
Again on the 14th, Tiger hit a 3 wood from the tee that ended up in a fairway bunker on the right. Roger Maltbie said, " Going right, late again."
The traditional address position used by Tiger, where the hands, wrists, and forearms are required to rotate towards the target from address to impact, places a premium on timing. The margin for error between success and failure to produce a desired clubface alignment at impact is small.
On Some days Tiger's timing is right on. Other days Tim Clark's timing is right on. And on some days, your timing is right on.
The difficulty of timing the rotation of the hands, wrists, and forearms from address to impact can be reduced by decreasing the amount of variation between the two positions.
Dynamic pre-shot alignment is a method that can improve your ability to produce a desired clubface alignment at impact without being so vulnerable to bad timing.
