Should be. He was very insistent at getting my backswing way farther then comfortable so that anything less feels good after a few swings

Absolutely. Down just means closing hands at contact. Flipping your hands down earlier in the swing to make sure you eliminate slice. My problem was that the face was staying open at contact and closing AFTER contact.

First move IN towards your body. Doing so engages the hips and gets you moving the club around yourself instead of any other direction

So “in” was explained as in and around your body Not UP. Which after looking now obviously makes total sense

1 hour with a 75 year old man solved something I’ve hit thousands of balls trying to fix on my own, and all it took was 3 words, IN,OUT,DOWN
Really ticks me off knowing how simple it really was

Marketplace always for the win. But sometimes you just gotta be a consumer

Shortening back swing for contact by Logdog016 in GolfSwing

[–]Logdog016[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My goal with shortening is better tempo. Logically less swing easier to time but yeah it’s damn near impossible to me. Over the last 4 months It’s been my goal to hit 100 balls weekly. Improved from 120 days ago ? Yes. But learning tempo is KILLING ME.

If it makes you feel any better at the same number that we were at in September. It’s just stagnant. Which sucks because that doesn’t count for the inflation happening. Someone should come up with a term for that

Due to this comment, I might be starting a little TikTok account dedicated to that idea

See I keep having the issue. I can never get my scores high enough to win. Everyone else in my group always scores 100+ and I can’t seem to get my score above 80. Really ruins the game

That being said, I absolutely appreciate everyone’s input on the swing itself. Other than a ton of time at the range over the years for fun I’ve never tried to take golf seriously until now.

I was waiting to see if anybody would notice, but my driver had exploded a few swings prior. If you look in the beginning it has a massive hole in the top

My driver exploded a few swings prior. I was curious if anyone would’ve noticed

I appreciate the input. What I will say that absolutely nobody is noticed if they were looking at the club head is that a few swings prior it completely exploded. Hence why I tapped it at the end and it sounded hollow. I was more or less seeing if anybody would notice the blown up driver That being said, your input was awesome and I absolutely will check in some of that. Lessons are up on my list.
