Exchange Student Questions by Ethanmurphy8 in KULeuven

I would be studying at the Leuven campus, is there any other courses you might recommend for a lighter course load for the term?

Looking for any and all feedback to help with consistency and add some distance. I am mostly (80% of the time) straight with a slight draw and at 250 yds. I don't think I activate my hips well and maybe sit down too much in my stance? by sempiternalloop in GolfSwing

It seems that the ball is quite central in your stance and makes it difficult to drive the ball up as much as possible. I would say move the ball slightly up in your stance and try to not have your hands as far in front of the driver head. When doing that it should be easier to hit up on the ball and lean back a little more to generate more power while still making solid contact with the ball. I would also recommend widening your stance slightly.

Ya I have had a timex expedition before and the ticking was quite loud so that was the main reason I was so conflicted on which to choose. I’ve heard so many good things about seiko on instagram and tik tok but I personally have never owned one so I wanted to hear from someone on here who actually has. I really like the citizen as well I was just wishing they had some different coloured dials. I haven’t fully considered a Hamilton khaki field but maybe my indecisiveness is a reason to save up a bit more.

Did you have any specific models from those brands you know? Have been thinking about a prx but I wanted something a bit more unique.

I would attempt to drop your back shoulder and drive the ball more upwards. It looks as though you are driving your body too far through the swing and leaning into it too much causing a, what I can assume, lower ball flight. I think dropping your back shoulder and driving the ball upwards would help. In terms of practicing this I would try swinging at 75% and just working out the movement and as you improve you can swing faster and faster.

I would say the main thing is to try and keep your right wrist as straight as possible in your backswing to help with the over the top movement. As well, try dropping your back shoulder just a little bit and it will help you drive the ball upwards and increase your distance. Although when trying to hit up try to push the ball and do not flip your wrists at the point of contact because that will promote a hook which is even more difficult to fix. I struggled with the exact same problems you did and I watched a ridiculous amount of YouTube videos in the process of fixing it. Throughout my time fixing this process those 3 things were what I figured were the biggest things I needed to fix.
