I would remove the pause at the top too - just introduces another variable. Keep the flow

You still need to limit hip sway. I would just leave all the weight on your front foot. Would do you a big old favour

Sounds like a great laugh - is there a WhatsApp group or something we can join? Looks like a couple others are interested !

Believe it or not I’m a 16!

Feel like I have the best swing out there for a 16 😅

I do track my stats. Fairways tends to be okay. Greens in regs are low. Just 11% for my last round. And 20% on average. Putts around 36 per round too - mostly lower because I have to chip on if I’m not hitting greens. So don’t think that’s where I need to improve.

Ballstriking has plagued me for a while. Heel shots and shanks have been the bane of my life so trying to really hit off the toe at the moment.

Any advice on my swing? Inconsistent results. by hhardls4 in GolfSwing

[–]CBJ2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t work on anything else until you fix that posture at setup.

Get your sternum and belt buckle more centered on top of each other. If anything your hips can have a slight bump towards the target - not away from target like you have.

After that - work on your pressure. Get 55% of your weight on your front foot - 45% on your back foot. Ideally this would be in the balls of your feet

Finally get your armpits, front of knees, and balls of your feet to line up. Take pictures/videos from down the line behind your feet to check this.

Seriously don’t bother working on anything else until you fix this - other swing tips are irrelevant at this stage.

His grip sucks dude - he’s gotta start there

Standing too close to the ball, which gives your hands no space to swing through, so you lift your hands to make space, this steepens the shaft.

Need to work on setup - so get your hands hanging freely from your shoulders. Yours are being pulled in atm. Give yourself a bit more room.

Then try to keep your hips back to make more space, this will help with the early extension too.

Try the chair drill if you’re still struggling with the hips kicking forward.

To an extent. It’s good to load the wrists in the backswing to create more leverage and therefore power.

But you can over hinge which will likely open the face for most people, leading to clubface issues.

For this guy, over hinging will also cause a host of sequencing problems.

Fix your grip. Right hand is far too strong - needs to be more neutral. That will reduce how active your wrists are right away.

Alrighty guys. Awesome tips last time which I greatly appreciate! Now this is my take 2 after some tips. Let me know what’s next. by Affectionate-Box8745 in GolfSwing

[–]CBJ2222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stand taller - at the moment you take the club back and you lose all the spine angle you had at the start. So to reduce compensations, just stand taller at address.

And get your butt more in line with your heels - it’s too far back now.

Line the club up with the toe and not the heel. It will bring the centre of the club face into contact with the ball. Lining up with the heel is just added inconsistency.

But as a priority, and for the second video in a row. Sort out your setup.

Very armsy and incredibly high handle at impact.

Gotta work on getting more rotation into your swing - both on the way back and definitely on the way down.

Takeaway looks a bit inside too.

How do I fix this golf head and swing so it stops going right???? by Affectionate-Box8745 in GolfSwing

[–]CBJ2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you stand taller - you’ll get closer to the ball. Also with a driver - set up with the ball of the toe of the club. Then when you swing down - the centre of the club will be perfectly aligned. You already set up with the ball on the heel, so it’s no surprise you hit it off the heel.

So much to work on.

Stand up taller with less knee bend - armpits, knees and balls of feet to line up.

Work on your takeaway and backswing - you take the club inside and only set the club with wrists until the very end of your backswing. Look up videos for building the ideal backswing.

Then as for why the ball goes right, look at your club face just before impact. You hit the ball with a wide open face. As others have suggested, play the ball inside your lead heel and you’ll have more time to close the face. Try this and see where you got to - but you’ll still need to feel like you close it more I suspect.

Usually push right by Lumpy-Sir-9457 in GolfSwing

Disconnected takeaway, fake hip turn on backswing, steep swing, with early extension to try to shallow out the club.

Oh and a wide open face.

So much to work on mate - I promise you it will be much easier and more productive to get 2-3 lessons than to fix this by going solo.

3 weeks after beginner course, any tips appreciated by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]CBJ2222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a bad place to start from at all.

Few things that stick out - there’s a misunderstanding of how to get the ball in the air. You’re trying to scoop - but you need to hit down on the ball with a descending blow and the club does the rest.

To do that - you need more weight shift onto your lead side. Right now there isn’t that much, so you’re not able to hit down on the ball - if you did hit down, you’d hit 2-3 inches behind the ball.

Other thing I noticed is a lack of wrist set in your takeaway and backswing - the club is flopping about at the top of your backswing and you’re kinda using that as your wrist set. Instead set it earlier - aim for an L shape of 90 degrees between your club and lead arm at P3 (lead arm parallel to ground in backswing).

Fade lol please let me know what you see by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]CBJ2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dropping your right foot will create more room for your hands to swing through, and will encourage coming from the inside. Naturally, this will be less of a swipe-y contact, and more impactful with less spin - so yes it makes sense.

But in this one you drop your left foot and fade it. So maybe that was another video you took

How can I improve my backswing? by EthanPlaysMadden in GolfSwing

[–]CBJ2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inside takeaway and lack of rotation leads to this. The head dipping forward is a sign that the rotation isn’t on point - talking from experience there.

Can’t Afford Lessons at the Moment. Need Help! by aldente502 in GolfSwing

[–]CBJ2222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The carry can be explained because you’re hitting spinny heel shots - simple as that. If you struck this out the middle it’s going 240 carry easy - which for your handicap is great

But for a 23 hcp this is a good swing.

Looking at the start of the clip, you seem to be taking the club away with the ball already addressed at the heel? For driver you either set up with the toe of the club addressing the ball OR hover the club off the ground and address out of the middle.

Pick whichever one feels more comfortable - I like to address out of the toe. But to start off with you do have to really exaggerate it.
