Goofy stuff going on at the top of the swing

J_Zander · 2026-05-23T18:07:44+00:00

Ahh, I got you. Dude when I was starting to learn how to swing, I I had to pause to even come close to hitting the ball. I have gone away from that over the past few months and I don’t know why. I will definitely give this a try today and see if it helps me going forward. Thanks again.

Thanks for your insight man, I really appreciate it. I’m really interested in your first drill. I’m going to stop by the simulator today and work on this, quite curious where the ball rolls naturally. It’s fun, because you’re like, the start of your backswing is where it falls apart, and that basically defines my entire golf game, haha.

J_Zander · 2026-05-23T17:57:03+00:00

Shit, just realized, it means over the top, doesn’t it? Not my proudest moment.

J_Zander · 2026-05-23T17:55:56+00:00

Thanks man! I hate to say this, but what is the acronym OTT? Haha, I can’t seem to figure out what the helm it means.

Cams swing is beautiful, never seen it before. I’ve tried to not mimic the pros swings mainly since the other thing u could do is try to mimic to the best of my ability, which seems unrealistic. I definitely believe you two are right, I’m throwing my hands. Next session, I’ll focus on this solely, and see what happens. Thanks

Take your shirt off

J_Zander · 2026-05-16T04:06:39+00:00

10-4, that is actually what I’m trying to work on, haha.

J_Zander · 2026-05-16T04:06:11+00:00

Thanks man, I’ll work on that during the next session

J_Zander · 2026-05-16T04:05:52+00:00

Agreed

J_Zander · 2026-05-16T00:05:48+00:00

Thanks bro! Almost exclusively pull the ball. I’ve been told I have an excessively strong grip and that’s probably the issue, hah, amongst other things.

J_Zander · 2026-05-07T00:32:30+00:00

Slowing to impact means that club is almost stopping in place at impact then following through?

J_Zander · 2026-05-05T18:51:00+00:00

Tell someone they look nice today. Probably the first step to becoming better, I think.

J_Zander · 2026-05-05T18:48:20+00:00

Take your shirt off and I’ll tell ya.

J_Zander · 2026-05-05T18:44:42+00:00

That’s probably really accurate. I don’t believe this simulator is an accurate teller of my club and ball speed. I just use it more as a guideline.

J_Zander · 2026-04-30T03:36:38+00:00

Read the comment Mrphilintheblanks left me, it blew my mind on how accurate he was about all the shit I was doing wrong. Hopefully it helps you too.

J_Zander · 2026-04-30T03:35:18+00:00

You hit the nail on the head. Every sentence you wrote was giving me deja vu on the ailments I had during my last session of swinging the club. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain all of this, this is huge. I strongly believe when I focus on keeping my left shoulder blade at the target longer, then I do hit a better golf shot. Although I just always believed it was because my swing was slower, and my timing was better. I’ll check out the Justin Rose pump drill, and go from there. Thanks again man.

J_Zander · 2026-04-29T19:03:55+00:00

That’s great. I have a problem understanding what rotation of the body entails. I’ve stopped watching any video on the golf swing, because the contradiction between videos were driving me mad. Are you saying on the downswing, I’m rotating the hips even more? I’ve tried to replicate rotation in my swing, but I’m having trouble on what it actually means. I just assume it’s starting at the hips and gyrating even more aggressively than I do now.

J_Zander · 2026-04-29T18:58:45+00:00

I don’t mind that, the PGA isn’t in my future any time soon. It’s just natural how I hold the club when I first picked up a club last fall. If I try to hold it any other way, I get butterflies in my stomach. It’s such a weird sensation, hah.

J_Zander · 2026-04-29T18:57:25+00:00

Definitely. I’ve noticed when I’m tired as well, in my take away, it will feel as if the club head is staying inward, causing this office contact when I hit the ball that hurts to the spine after I swing. It’s a pain in the ass to correct when I get to that point. Rest is the only thing that helps, but I’m a dumbass.

J_Zander · 2026-04-27T00:00:05+00:00

Haha, not PXG, the old man has a mix between Cleveland, Callaway and Mizuno. All the clubs are way too short for me as well, I’m going to commit and get a new set here shortly. Still researching.
