I’ve been playing for the last 3 summers. I’m self taught and at about a 12 handicap. I had my first lesson and he basically said all I need to work on is getting more shallow and making a bigger turn in my backswing to produce more power. What do you all think?
Do you grip the shaft at the very end? Sometimes I see people with half inch or one inch choke down, and not for like a special circumstance like rough or uneven lie. Like a slight choke even for a perfect lie. What's the story there?
I’ve been working on increasing my driver speed, and 100 mph feels like an absolute wall.
I can swing around 90–95 mph pretty comfortably, but when I try to get to 100+, it feels like I have to swing completely out of my shoes. There’s basically no feeling of having another gear.
For those of you who used to be under 100 mph and eventually got comfortably over it: what actually made the difference?
Was there a technique change, swing thought, sequencing change, speed training, grip pressure change, or something else that suddenly made speed feel easier?
I’m especially interested in people who found more speed without just feeling like they were trying 20% harder.
What was the thing that finally helped you break through?
~45 yard pitch shot with a 60 degree. Working on pitching because I've been hitting them a little fat.
I’m guessing the idea is that your hips should rotate and butt of the club fall backwards, rather than press into the butt of the club? Can one replicate at home without someone holding club?
I’m a newer golfer and dealing with a slice. Had multiple people comment that my club face is coming wide open during the backswing
So I started holding my arms/wrists in a way that “manually” kept the face shut and now I’m making much better contact. This might not make sense the way I’m describing, but I don’t know any other way to describe it
So instead of my forearms/wrists naturally rolling over clockwise during the backswing, I’m now making an effort for them to not roll over
I have a bad feeling this is wrong and my swing is going to break down again in 2 months and I will have to get rid of this thought
I’m a 25 handicap a I really struggle with consistency off the tee. My main misses are a slice and a push. Any help would be appreciated.
Been swinging the club for about 5 years now, worked on this swing many and many times over. First time I’m feeling confident & consistent with my ball striking.
Here is my 7 iron hitting the range balls 185-190
What things can yall say to me so i can get in my head more and mess it all up again??? 😂
Been working pretty hard to shallow out the club recently and not sure if I’m quite there yet
Conclusion to my first year of golf and I think my swing faults lie with my downswing which I’ve changed a bit over the last few months and I do not believe I’ve ever NOT thrown my pelvis at the ball. What’s everyone’s lightbulb moment for early extension?
About 3-4 months in and I have this weird new habit of lifting my left foot on downswing. It also looks like I’m lifting my shoulders as well. I’ve been making consistent center face contact but this swing is ugly haha. Any tips??
also open for some more tips if you see something!
😆😆
Hi all,
Over the past week, I’ve been dealing with (what I think at least) is trail hip thrust toward the ball rather than rotation. Really appreciate any thoughts and feedback, as it’s introduced a nasty shank. With the feet together drill,
Punch shots, and ball back in stance I strike it more consistently but my stock swing is facing this issue.
I carry both my 5 iron and 7 iron 175-180 yards, both being a stock swing. The video shows my 5 iron swing and everything about it looks reasonable to me. Any tips?
