Ok, I see a problem with not shifting my weight forward. That back foot is not doing what it should. What else? The regular speed was one of my better shots. My irons were decent today, so I focused on driving (it’s 96° out here).

I am honestly learning this is true & I haven’t been doing enough!

@Spamsammich69 This is the correct answer for the majority of what I see going on. Best exercise (in my opinio) to solve this is the range bucket toss. Grab an empty range bucket and hold it with straight arms in front of you. Then without using your arms throw it as far as you can with hips.

@Spamsammich69 Try to keep the bucket straight in front and level. Turn the hips on a level plane parallel to the ground. Helped me tremendously.

@Spamsammich69 Ok, that’s a good idea, thanks!

Best advice I ever got: Give it up, it's not for you.

😂😂 It keeps me off the streets & out of the bars (at least until practice is done, then I’m in the country club bar)

Look at the position at impact. First your stance isn’t parallel to the target line - totally closed inviting a slice and second you’re hunched. Standing too close to the ball. Your club and your arms should form a straight line - all fully extended

Good notes! Yeah, I do slice often, and those shoulders are pulled up too high.

Plus the total collapse at the top with the left heel off the ground, flying left elbow, bent right arm and cupped right wrist. Took me a long time to stop doing this. You can get away with it if you have John Daly’s timing. We don’t. Look how open the club face is. Slice incoming

You’re over swinging. You don’t need to take the club back so far. Also, tempo in the swing is huge. I’ve learned over the season that when I rush my swing, I can’t produce what I want. When I slow slow my tempo, I get the results. I’m no pro, just a guy that loves golf and trying to break 80. Good luck amigo!!

These are good tips! I really have to focus on slowing down & not trying to use my arms for power…the power comes from the clubs. But, that little part where my shoulders lift…I think that’s me trying to kill the ball w/ the arms.

Watch this from Koepka and look where his club goes on top vs your position and his feet transfer with arm position at the bottom. Your club is getting to much swing from where you bring it back then it sets your balance off.

Oh yeah, my club has swung way too far. I can see his back foot off the ground at the moment of impact, too. That’s a good point, the club may be setting me off balance, thanks!

Yeap, swing through it vs striking it but that swing behind your neck is throwing the club off and your body.

ps, signed Non professional ready/beer golf dude who can see what everyone's doing wrong, except myself, but still under 90... If 100, it was the fireball or vodka

I don't know..but maybe your back foot issue stems directly from incomplete forward weight shift. I think you can fix that by pushing firmly off your trail foot early in the downswing so your heel rolls up naturally.

I think that’s the problem. It looks like my weight never shifts at all.

@Stew767 If you haven't heard of the 60/40 weight balance "rule" yet, skip the first 20 seconds and check this out. Might help 👍🏻

@Stew767 Thank you! I clearly need to work on this. Video exposed the problem.

You seem set up too close to the ball at address( your hands are too close to the body at setup), and on your take away you begin to pull the club so that the head of the club gets behind your hands to early. Half way into your backswing the clubhead should be outside of the hands and therefore closer inline with the extended path of the ball with the head of the club still facing slightly down.

Not a pro but what I’ve been told at my lessons is a more slow and controlled up and explode down.

It’s been a minute but the back foot definitely should pivot and follow through with the swing (as it crosses in front of you). It looks like you thinking about the motion or procedure. If the club was heavier (like a sledge hammer or baseball bat) and you were just swinging it back to front, your weight and stance would naturally transfer (and pivot) from front left, to front right. Other analogues could be kicking a ball in soccer or any riding any kind of board. You can try just rocking back and forth any time you’re standing. You’ll probably look stupid, but it’s golf, and you’re a pilot so anyone who matters (nobody) will understand. Disclaimer: It’s been a (million) minutes.

All good! Yeah, I’ve gotta fix the weight transfer. I’m not putting it all together yet.

You can try swinging just your left arm like a pendulum back and forth for the motion (and make popping sounds as your arm crosses in front of you). I’m sure you’ve done at least one of the things I mentioned. It should come naturally, so I assume you’re over thinking it.

* All directions I mentioned left/right, reverse.

As a young man I couldn't stop straightening up during the swing and whiffing the ball, to the guffaws of observers. Gave it up to pursue things that require minimal skill and intelligence, like flying...

The most important question is, what socks are you wearing? 🤔😜😂

Taking your club back too far. When I start doing that stuff, I go grab a jacket (even when hot). As far back as I can go wearing a jacket is as far back as I need to take it.

Too much backswing, not leading with the hips. Good swing though!

I think you’re right. Someone pointed out that my club basically makes it all the way around my head & on the way to my knees on the backswing, & I hadn’t noticed that before!

You’ve gotten some great feedback here! Are you doing stretches before you start? Especially your back and hips? You seem a bit tight.

Absolutely stretching! My back was killing me the first month or so, but it’s getting better now.

Do your drives slice a lot? You seem to be coming in very over the top

As a matter of fact, when I do make good contact, slice is pretty prevelant.

A swing feel to do with that is get to the top of your swing, drop your hands to your right pocket, then turn your hips

I like that! Yeah, I’ve struggled with bringing the club back down. Hell, I’m struggling with all of it, but I’m slowly getting better.

I still struggle and I’ve been at it for 3 years

swinging out of your shoes mr driver. highly suggest starting a sesh at the range with 15-20 dry swings at no more than shoulder height on the backswing. front foot planted, more hips less upper body rotation.

That’s a good tip. I’ll do it tomorrow, thanks!

Too much sway and shift and turn backwards. Your backswing looks like a lefty golfer's finish if u faced the camera . Go on YouTube and search "Monte scheinblum no turn cast" and do that for a while.

I am not a Golfer by any means. but I agree with @lennylaw - your too close to the ball - like something in my brain was " thats not right - how I was told by Grandpa back in day" - I also saw lots of Golf on TV at grandparents house soo something stuck in head seems lol

I always thought the Air Force taught y’all to play golf before they taught you to fly! 😜😜😜

Use your back foot as a pivot to generate the power & swing. What position your foot is at after around 3 seconds post shot is what do need at the beginning of the swing. Keep the heel up of your back foot for starters. It’ll help you get more power into the swing.

Absolutely. I noticed in both shots my weight is still completely on that back foot. Then I do some token nonsense to end up in the right position.

Haha it takes time. Just take care of your back, in the process to overdo it. Good luck!

Find a pro that uses the K-Vest system. It will help you with spine angle and rotation. You’ll figure out the best position for your set-up, Then comes your take away.

I’ll look for it, thanks!

Golf is a never ending sport of try this or try that. Once you find what works, you’ll know. And if you are hooked, you’ll never stop trying to play better. No matter your scores.

I’m a single digit handicap…weight distribution, inside your right foot to outside left foot. Tempo is your friend…

I’d stand a touch further away, will help with hitting the ball with the heel of your driver

dont let your left elbow bend, by imagining the club is an extension of your arm, and the entire lever must not bend, it will naturally bring your hips through and then that right foot will rotate and squash the bug as it should. Dont let that left arm break as you come through

Get your pressure into to your lead leg a lot sooner - that will stop the over swinging. Grab a wedge or high iron, take a staggered stance with your trail leg behind you and hit some shots. You’ll feel the pressure in the lead leg that way.

Get a Chi Chi hat. It will help to intimidate the ball.

It’s the whole right side holding back. Look for a beginner you’re definitely making progress. The swing is unnatural and uncomfortable. And social media is a bad place to learn an athletic move. But part of why it’s getting hung up may be that you’re getting stuck . . .

Start over. Grip, setup, takeaway, swing plane, speed and length. Get these right and relax. Let the club head swing in a proper path around a more compact rhythmic motion. Practice a 3/4 swing and half swing with irons for 135 yards and in. Same swing different clubs to control distance and flight. Then there are only a couple dozen more swing thoughts to work out on the range and then clear to a couple of keys when working the ball around the course.

Let’s just start with your backswing. You are doing yourself a huge disservice bringing the club back that far. No further back than parallel to the ground. Too much weight shift backwards and your front foot lost contact with the ground. Now if you’re hitting it straight and are happy with it then just keep your funky swing.

You look like you're trying to hit/swing too hard...somewhere in there I need to see "smoother." (But at least you hit the ball!!! 😉 (Made me think about when I bowl...I'm always guilty of trying to "throw" the ball too hard...)

Don’t take this the wrong way sir, you are much younger than I expected to be behind this account. 😂

Respectfully, you have the posture of the hunchback of notre dame. I'm solid golfer but got too busy with family. My sales guys do a lot and the thing I always recommend to is the paul wilson stuff. It's legitimate and actually works.

So couple obvious things, you’re sucking the club back inside too much and you’re overswinging a lot. Try to feel like the hands move out and away a bit as you go back

More athletic posture Your taking the club inside on the initial back swing Keep your back to the target as much as possible Drop the hands and club first before you turn your body
