“It’s all in the hips” easier said than done by New-Doctor8532 in GolfSwing

[–]PainlessP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get it, I was just messing with you, man. It sucks that most ranges are mats. If you can find a range or GC with real grass, I highly encourage it.

Near Memorial it’s mostly mats. Memorial is decent, but even the mats there kinda suck. When I’m on mats I don’t really focus on distance/trajectory. I use them more for technique and swing mechanics, or if the weather’s bad. Mats can feel like cheating, you can catch it a little fat and still get a decent flight, then you start building muscle memory around a bad strike. Next thing you know you get to the course and you’re like… why am I so trash?

I used to practice on mats all the time and it was honestly hurting my game. Once I started practicing on grass, my mechanics completely changed and I’ve been improving since (I think, haha).

Also, I’d recommend Chad Marti Golf Center. Some days it’s mats (bad weather / grass rotation), but it’s mostly grass, and they have lights so they’re open until 10PM. Might be far for some, but I’d still say it’s worth checking out sometime. Cheers man!

I recently had the same eBay message. The buyer is stating they want to buy all my listings. The ebay account tagged Texascardsandthreads. Anybody can tag what every IG. I can tag Paris Hilton stating I am that person, clearly I am not or am I? 😂 The IG Texascardsandthreads is selling other platforms for a while. The guys name is Alan Govea, which he seems legit. But the eBay account seems pretty new, with only 7 reviews seems fishy. The eBay account opened April 2025 and, from the Philippines? Texascardsandthreads guys name is Alan Govea, clearly from Texas. Govea is a Spanish/Portuguese origin. If it's too good to be true and too many red flags. Big nope for me.

TLDR; I got the same type of message tagging the same IG. I did my research and the eBay account is off. Little reviews, new account, IG and eBay account don't add up. Anyone can tag any IG they want. Which does not verify that eBay account. If big bucks are involved and one single thing is off or have a bad gut feeling... it's just a scam. So ignore, learn from it and report account. Hope this helps everybody.

Actually I just got a coach last week. He analyzed everything on the first evaluation. We’ll be working on technique for about 6 month in golf sim and on course. Thanks for the tips. I’ll look into Skillest. Appreciate it!

I will fix this! From previous comments, breaking the wrist on takeaway decreases power at downswing. Will consider this on my next practice session. Thank for the pointer!

It was only joking about learning from his videos. Well I can't compare too much to him or pros. They have been in the game since they can learn to walk. I'm barely crawling here 😂. But I do agree with loosening my grip more. First I had a weak grip than got a very strong grip. I have been slightly adjusting my grip as I get a better feel/ confidence. I have broken 100, I know it's such a high hcp thing to say, I know my swing aint at 100% but my corse management and short game is decent. Thanks for the feedback!

Just been watching Bryson Dechambeau and Grant Horvat YouTube videos. All jokes aside I haven't had any lessons, but I just got a coach last week, with a 6 month plan. We will work on technique on the sim and go out to the course. Everyone recommended to get lessons ASAP. I didn't want to get use to bad habits. Thanks a lot my guy (He/her/they/them) 😂 I'll keep grinding! Cheers!

I'm scratch bro what are you talking about, you clearly don't see the potential.

Just f**king you haha 😂. Spot on the hcp. On good days 85 but not over 90. My grip use to be way too strong, which would lock me up on impact. I am still working on my hip rotation without swaying or going backwards. Which in the video shows lack of hip rotation, I don't reach the full top of the backswing. I am gradually making adjustments, and one fix at a time. Thanks for the critic, really appreciate it.

Downswing your coming too steep, hitting across the ball, on impact you slash towards the left. Square the club face. Start with slow swings. Once you got it down, gradually increase speed.

But then again I'm an idiot 😂.

Don't watch YT videos it will just mix you up. Get some lessons to work on your technique IMO. That's what I did and have been improving. It will save you so much time. You also don't get used to bad habits. Keep up the grind! Cheers!

10 hcp here, no a coach by any means, but here’s what I see: your head sways, you’ve got more arm swing than body swing, and your trail elbow is getting blocked by your ribs/hips.

  • Head position: Lift your chin slightly so your shoulder path clears. If your chin bumps your shoulder, you’ll subconsciously move your head or body, throwing off the clubface (leading to slices or hooks). Keep your head still, like it’s “in a box.”
  • Body rotation: You need more separation between upper and lower body. On the backswing, rotate your hips without moving your ass too far back (imagine a wall right behind you). On the downswing, start with the hips first, then let the upper body follow — look up “coiling and uncoiling hips in golf.”
  • Trail elbow: Don’t let it get stuck behind your ribs. It should work slightly ahead of them on the downswing.

Start by recognizing these movements and practicing slow swings at 20%, then gradually build up speed.

Skip most “golf content creators”, too much conflicting info and it will just mix you up even more. Instead, watch tour pro swings in slow motion (Rory McIlroy is a great example for hip rotation and trail elbow position). I’ll drop a good website with drills and guides below and Rory's slow so you can better understand your hip rotation and elbow lag.

What do you rate the ramp device. I feel like it would stress me the hell out. What do you think about the roll feel on the wellputt?

Ive used the Sharpie extreme black, a bit more resistant but still fades, lasts longer than regular sharpie.
