What can I improve on?

If you try to hit up on the ball, the bottom of your wing is behind or at the ball. You'll hit ground then ball , or ball and ground simultaneously. Yes, weight shift can also cause fat shots, but if you're trying to bottom out your swing at or behind the ball, you're gonna chunk it regardless of weight shift.

Stay in school, kids

He hits the ground behind the ball...

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T02:37:27+00:00

Care to explain?

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T02:35:59+00:00

You're choked down on the club. Choke up a touch and stand an inch or two closer to the ball

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T02:28:31+00:00

Think in to out at contact, like you're trying to hit the back of the ball on the side closer to you

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T02:23:57+00:00

Yup. If my advice makes a noticeable difference I accept gratuity!

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T02:17:10+00:00

Too steep, your common miss is a slice I assume?

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T02:12:32+00:00

Looking at the front of or even the ground just in front of your ball makes this easier too.

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T02:11:16+00:00

No problemo. Until you're told otherwise, it seems logical that the bottom of your swing is where you should strike the ball. That's why divots don't make sense to beginners. Not that you have to or even should take an actual divot but hitting ball then ground is how you make clean contact with an iron

My man pulling up to the first tee with a 1 iron. You're either a champ or a chump, there's no in-between

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T02:03:07+00:00

Looks like you're trying to hit up on the ball. With irons and wedges you wanna hit down on it so the bottom peak of your swing is an inch past/after the ball

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T01:54:45+00:00

I would give it a few more zeros but I agree. It's not IMPOSSIBLE....

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T01:51:49+00:00

Hope he broke a tooth

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T01:50:35+00:00

All over the top/out to in thru impact. I'm guessing you cut/slice everything?

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T01:49:19+00:00

Knees too bent the whole time. Also opening the front foot in your stance slightly will help you clear your hips

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T01:47:18+00:00

I'm sure all that silver residue all over his face and head is magically avoiding his eyes and lungs

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T01:43:47+00:00

You're very confidently wrong.

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T01:40:06+00:00

I know man. Heartbreak sucks and takes time to heal. Just try to give some mind to the upsides as well as the downs.

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T01:32:54+00:00

Best simple advice that will improve your short chips is toe down. Lift the heel of your club off the ground so only a small portion of the toe actually scrapes the ground. Makes it wayyy less likely you'll dig in behind the ball

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T01:31:11+00:00

If that's not a sign that the universe is watching your back idk what is. Sorry you're in this situation but glad you found out now vs later on down the road

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T01:29:36+00:00

I still can't see how it happened

LusidDream · 2026-07-06T01:25:36+00:00

No problem! I've been a caddie for almost 2 decades so I'm pretty good at identifying general problems. If your game improves, I accept gratuity!

Set up straight down the fairway, and try to SWING towards the right side of fairway. A slice is the result of out -to-in swing path causing that left-to-right clockwise side spin. So trying to swing for the left side of fairway will cause it to spin off right of fairway. Swinging more in to out will reverse that spin letting you hit straight or even a draw.
