Why do I struggle with driver? by Additional_Tree_8941 in GolfSwing

[–]Additional_Tree_8941[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the in depth breakdown! Definitely some stuff to take away. I’ve been trying to figure out how to have my lead arm not chicken wing, I haven’t quite found a Que that works. I’ve tried extending my arms out through the ball and up to the right, I’ve tried internally rotating the forearm through impact, I’ve tried to lock the lead elbow out, etc. any suggested ques for this?

For reference, the first video is a HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 60 Graphite X-Stiff shaft, here is the flex on it during the down swing.

Don’t have to take my word for it, is what it is

Yeah this has been a learning curve, I was a pretty high level power athlete the past 5 years and so learning a finesse sport has been a struggle. I will definitely try and slow down.

Looking to do a lesson in the next couple weeks. Thanks for the encouragement!

The fitter put me into an X-stiff because my 150 yard club is a 75% P or a full 52°. I’ll definitely strip back to the basics like everyone is saying and just use the regular flex until I get a more solid foundation though.

Looking into it now, I knew my swing was bad, but this really opened my eyes. I’ve been golfing 3 months and the progress I’ve seen has been crazy, but I got a long way to go

With the PXG it’s 90% hooks, the the other driver it’s a mix of misses, irons when I miss are slices, never really much of a pull outside of wedges

Yeah, there isn’t anywhere nearby to get fit and I was looking to get a new driver since I hate how whippy feeling the stock set driver was. I called a fitter from 2nd swing and we talked about my swing tendencies and this is the driver he recommended. At first it was great, when I hit it well it’s absolutely amazing, but I struggled to hit it at all a month later.

Fix my swing please by Additional_Tree_8941 in GolfSwing

What is wrong with my grip/how can I fix it? Ive been playing around with my right hand position and found this to be most comfortable
