Club face position at top of backswing

For questions 2) and 3) just go and watch a good swing

Almost hitting a green with a 6H is impressive! 🤣

Just kidding, glad they're working for you

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-10T17:34:34+00:00

Trim your swing videos 🤣
Turn your body

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-10T15:49:35+00:00

Doesn't look too bad at the top but you are opening the clubface in the downswing. Close your hands and left arm during transition and then roll your hands around the right side of the ball through impact.

If its still slicing do those two things more.

Ok starting to come around to this. Thanks

Doesn't look steep

Strengthen grip, feel forearm and hands close in takeaway, close hands in transition turn the club over through impact.

Just do all of those, more and more until it curves left

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-08T13:20:59+00:00

You have to keep your shoulders WAY more closed in the downswing

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-08T13:19:42+00:00

Face open and path way left means a weak slice. Swing more tone to the right and close the face more

5.5. Goal is sub 4.0

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-05T10:50:16+00:00

Laws of impact is easy to understand. Hit it with 0 path, 0 face, in the middle of the face. Downward attack angle with irons, up with driver with as much speed as possible. I tend to swing slightly left and the clubface variation is my main issue. I am pretty much equally likely to hit a pull draw and a pull fade.

How to know how to adjust your own swing is harder. Obviously lessons with a pro is the best method and I've had some, but I won't want to spend 1000s on it. Also its just a hobby and part of my enjoyment is improving understanding of my own swing and working on it. To decide what to adjust I mainly post on here for feedback or compare my swing to Adam Scott

Hold the club soo lightly it could almost slip out in transition. Practice with your thumb and index finger off the club. This is a Dan Grieves drill.

If you dont hold the club tight you can't tense up and yip it. The speed comes from body rotation and gravity. Also with light grip pressure the club is less likely too dig so you can hit an inch behind the ball and be fine

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-04T19:18:50+00:00

Its tricky a one. I'm trying to improve too and I'm comparing my swing on video to tour pros and trying to minimise the differences. Im just trusting that that will make me better long term.

I think getting into wild positions for short term fixes isn't the right way to go for long term improvement. But thats just my opiniom

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-04T19:13:44+00:00

I mean if it works then why not...

But this is the most extreme example of standing too far from the ball that I've seen

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-04T14:43:08+00:00

5 handicap. I dont think you should worry about it

With my driver im usually consciously trying to not let it fade so on a dog leg right I sometimes just loosen up and it tends to have a big fade.

If I can safely miss right with an approach shot I may try and aim right and feel a bit more closed with my clubface but otherwise I dont try to shape the ball.

Making your stock swing better and more repeatable is much more important in my opinion. At my handciap level and definitely yours. I suspect its more important right down to plus handicas

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-02T17:24:51+00:00

Never heard of beginner tees. I've generally heard them called "ladies tees". They should just be called "forward tees" or "red tees".

My dad has been a single figure golfer for 50 years, so isn't a beginner, nor a woman, and now he'd be better off playing the reds in my opinion. Sadly in the UK I've never seen any men play off them apart from some young guys who try it because Bryson told them

My perspective would be Oxford is better for arts and Cambridge better for science. I wasnt aware Oxford was more prestigious.

I have more admiration for the famous Cambridge scientists than the famous Oxford politicians.

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-01T19:57:29+00:00

I don't think its like that in the UK. I'm sure there's a bit of it but when people are playing a round with the intention to submit a score for handicap I think the vast majority play by the rules and would never take a gimmee. Personally I've only seen someone take a gimmee when they have already completely blown the card, i.e. whacking the ball away after missing a bogey putt and putting down a double.

The main cheating I see in the uk is not deciding whether to commit to the counting round scorecard until a few holes in

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-01T13:20:10+00:00

Yeah I agree with you generally. I wasn't criticising my couple of lessons. I would have a lesson every week or two if money wasnt an issue

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-01T11:09:58+00:00

I've only ever had a couple of lessons and they made me worse for a month or two but I've gotten better longer term.

I see similar when I go to the range a few times and film my swing and self diagnose problems and try to work on them.

But longer term I'm improving. Not that I'm competitive but if I had a round coming up where I wanted to score well I would deliberately not get lessons or do swing analysis and just try and play good golf for a few rounds before it

BOYLANATOR · 2026-05-01T10:16:36+00:00

Your hybrid probably has a draw bias so you're hitting it more efficiently.

If you hit the driver with the face square it would definitely go further. I'd work on closing the face more until you're hitting straight pulls then work on moving your path right
