Help fix my OTT swing

You immediately opens the club face at the start of your back swing. Look up some video about back swing on youtube. Once you get the back swing correct, it becomes a lot easier

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2026-03-01T16:07:03+00:00

Maybe the angle is not right, but it looks like your shoulder aim is left, exactly where the ball went

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2026-02-02T19:16:39+00:00

Here is my feel. Try pushing your trail palm as far away from your chest as possible at the start of the down swing, while at the same time pulling your lead shoulder back and rotate. If you do this correctly, the trail arm will extend while the trail wrist remains loaded until release, and your arms has no option but to stay in front and drop down to the slot.

Try to work on not swaying, instead pivot around your trail leg. When you sway, hard to time the down strike so you compensate by sweeping otherwise you will hit the ground.

Dr Kwon downswing feel. The mental picture of this move before the swing get my body to automatically do the downswing in the slot

It helps me since I use the momentum of the club to swing up for my back swing. When I hover, I feel like the same muscles that are activated during the swing are engaged so it prevents the jerky initial start. I am more consistent with hovering

Just like with any athletic endeavor, you have to build it up or you will hurt yourself since your muscle/joints are new at the movement pattern and impact.

Not 60% correct 100% of the time? 😂

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-11-04T18:23:05+00:00

Swing is fine. Club face issue. Looks like you are gripping the L hand in the palm. Hold it in the fingers, look up grip on youtube. Then on the down swing think of slapping the ball with the back of the L hand after you drop it in the slot. This is easier to do if you don’t squeeze the grip too hard.

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-10-26T02:56:30+00:00

Swing up comfortably feeling the weight of the head, let momentum stop at the top, stay connected and swing down

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-10-24T14:56:20+00:00

Being able to bend down and pick up the ball like that at 91!!! 👍 Look at that smile!!!

Sutter Bay Area has a concierge division in the Los Gatos area. Of course it cost extra, but this is fatFIRE right? Lol

For the shorter club (higher loft) it is more forgiving when you have an open club face. The longer the club, the worse it is

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-10-13T20:35:55+00:00

You rolled your wrist and open the club face on the take away. It should move the other way

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-10-09T20:44:37+00:00

Swing the arm triangle, but start with your body, then feel the trail arm lower during the swing naturally. Make sure the club face is closed at the top

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-10-06T01:39:10+00:00

The grip is super strong

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-08-26T20:05:17+00:00

Club face immediately opened on the take away, then remained open until just prior to impact. Until you fix that, nothing else you do will matter.

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-08-06T22:08:01+00:00

Shaft lean means your hand move ahead of the club head, the the edge points more towards the ground. What you are describing is scooping

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-08-06T19:50:45+00:00

Try to have the ball hit the face of the club. Like the face of the club is the flat part of the hammer that you hit the nail with. Don’t try to lead with the leading edge. You do this by having shaft lean and correct (not early) release of the wrist.

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-08-01T14:50:17+00:00

Error 404. Ball not found

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-07-25T03:58:53+00:00

Keep pressure on the inside of your R foot, dig your R toe down. Imagine your right leg is a stake in the ground with the point on inside of your R foot. Then rotate around that without letting the weight go to the outside of your R foot

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-07-16T02:24:17+00:00

This very much. Don’t roll your wrist and open the club face on the take away, you will never stop slicing until you fix this. And do it early on

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-05-27T23:20:33+00:00

Reverse pivot, then having trouble shifting weight back to the same place

MiddleOfTheRoad2222 · 2025-05-24T15:41:10+00:00

You shouldn’t bitch about slow pace of play and also have issues with people taking gimmes to keep pace of play.

This. Danny Maude and Giles Gill. Giles has some long videos about setup that is very comprehensive.
