Most common flaw I see on the sub is a poor concept of pelvis movement. I'll save everyone the 15min video if you don't want to watch it (you should), but early extension starts in the backswing and most swings I see on here are guilty of it.

Center of your pelvis should never get closer to the ball in a good golf swing. If it does it causes all sorts of strike issues and path issues, as the hips invade the space the arms require to approach the ball shallow and from the inside. Steep vs shallow is a dead horse IMO, and yes some successful golfers are more steep than shallow, but all good players create space for their arms while all higher handicaps invade that space by trying to first rotate around their trail hip, then reversing that pattern in the DS.

Both moves rob you of precious space for your arms to extend through the ball to the target. If you chicken wing, shank, toe, fat, thin, stand up, hang back or reverse pivot, this simple concept to understand will get you going in the right direction.

Included two clips, one of my 3 wood and one of my driver. 3 wood here went just about 260. Driver went about 255 with a ballooning slice. What am I doing wrong with my driver or what am I doing right with my 3 wood?

3 wood is a callaway rogue max d with a regular shaft that I bought used.
Driver is a callaway rogue max d with a stiff shaft that I was fit into about 3-4 years ago.

This only started recently, I had a back injury about 6 weeks ago and took about 3 weeks to recover. Ever since, my driver has become the worst club in my bag.

Goes around 150 yards…

The training tool my dad made is surprisingly nice! Apparently, you hit through the impact like making a field hockey shot.

I’ve only been truly playing for about a month and here are some new swings since getting bullied on my last post lol. First three shots I’m generally aiming at the back right green pin and the last shot I aimed at the green pin in the back left corner. Let me know what you all think and give me any tips!

I love golf but only end up playing a full course maybe 2 or 3 times a year, but I play the local par 3’s more often. Although inside 150 I’m pretty consistent, my driver only goes about 220 on a good day and typically with a baby slice. When I try to simply swing harder, I slice harder. Watching my swing I can tell something’s wrong but I’m personally not good enough to figure out what it is.

I’m tired of this grandpa… please help

And for fun, try to guess my handicap and provide constructive feedback.

8 handicap

Anyone else think you have a good swing until you see a video your buddy took 🤣

Find ONE thing you need to improve in your technique.

Focus that one thing in practice then forget about it on the course. Train it, trust it.

It’s important to work on technique in practice, but equally important to practice without technical thoughts.

It’s also quite important to identify what that one technical focus should be. A good coach can help with that (perhaps you can be your own good coach!).

You can’t go from swinging like a 20 handicap to swinging like a professional in one day. You have to build it one piece at a time. Hopefully you can identify that most important piece.

My short game does also suck which is part of the reason why I’m at this handicap and I’m working on improving it.

But recently I’ve really been struggling with heel/hosel contact. Tried standing further than I usually do but it seems like my body will subconsciously compensate for that and still strike with the heel/hosel of the club. Any tips?

My client week 1

First is 8 iron , second is 4 iron (in the comments)

You're 50 yards from the green, flat surface, ground is a bit moist and the ball is down in thick rough but not buried in the earth.

What club are you using?

Been prioritizing a lot of short game recently, but still trying to have a consistent overall swing.

Some days I hit the ball well, some days I don’t. This range session is the perfect example of that. Why is the first minute of this video I am hitting the ball all over the place (a lot off the heel and pretty much smacking it with the shaft) ~ to after the dissolve effect, the end of the range session I’m hitting the ball much cleaner. I’m a feel guy and the technicals are way over my head.

somebody got the golden tip to prevent this over the top move?

what I can see:

- long backswing

- no pressure shift to lead side

- still inside takeaway?

thanks in advance
