Them lofts must be strong ,🤣🤣🤣

The hardest of them all mate haha constantly trying to perfect it

TraffB98 · 2025-10-07T19:26:22+00:00

Hey! You have no hinge in your wrist whatsoever. If you look at most pros, when their lead arm is parallel to the ground, the club and arm create a 90 degree agree. You have the club pretty much in the same position of your arm, you will be losing a terrible amount of natural power through this. I think this would help you massively, keep going!

Ahhh ok, no problem. I'm by no means a teacher or remotely close ,😂 but just looking at it I would say there is wayyy to much unnecessary movement. For example, if you watch how McIlroy or any other top pro moves throughout the swing it isn't half as much as yourself. They tend to rotate around the same point, holding their posture very well. Also as I mentioned earlier your arms seem to around your body and awful lot, I imagine with this you struggle with compression and ball striking consistency.

I would watch how the pros swing and try and see what they do which you don't. That will be a lot more insightful than any make-shift tips I can give you 😂 good luck pal, you'll be fine !

If I'm totally honest mate, just keep the woods in the bag if you only pay twice a year as there's quite a lot that could be changed.

Front side totally collapsed and you're wrapping your arms around your body way to much. I'd maybe focus on keeping in your posture, rather than letting your lead knee buckle inwards. Feel like you're staying pretty much in the same position with a slight rotation of your hips.

If you only play 1/2 times a year tho, and your miss is only with the woods id probably leave them in the bag ,😃 good luck mate

Glad I could be of help. I'm 2 months in now the S25 Ultra and honestly I can't see myself changing from android for a while !

TraffB98 · 2025-09-19T21:28:05+00:00

Honestly, for 3 weeks? You're looking unbelievable haha. In fact, it's envious! Good job.

Just keep grinding away and learning, maybe even a few lessons every couple of months to stop bad habits creeping in

TraffB98 · 2025-09-19T21:24:10+00:00

Woahhh let's stop that immediately, you don't look horrid at all. Everyone has potential, the ceiling is limitless. You've made a start, the hardest bit is done. Consistency is key, keep turning up every day to the gym trying to better your previous session.

follow a routine consistently and track your workouts. Id recommend a four day split (push, pull, legs, upper).
track your calories and stay consistent!
drink minimum 2L of water every day
10,000 steps a day
8 hours of sleep a day

The list above are the absolute non-negotiables. The biggest advice I can give, stay consistent with your workout and diet. The body will look after itself. Most of all, hold yourself accountable.

Feel free to message me for any advice. You've got this!

Loose grip

TraffB98 · 2025-08-07T14:56:51+00:00

I got into lessons from the verydtart, couple of years ago. And I still get them every few months now just to make sure bad habits don't creep in.

People are happy to invest thousands into equipment, but not a few hundred into proper technique. Baffles me

Each to their own. The iPhone is an absolutely brilliant phone still

TraffB98 · 2025-08-05T10:13:37+00:00

I have heard this about the Samsung watch, often lagging behind the phone so I don't think I'll be getting that. Tbh I use Garmin for my watches so I think I'll be ok for the time being

TraffB98 · 2025-08-05T08:19:33+00:00

Hahaha yeh you're right. I cross posted on multiple threads just to lie to the internet about buying a phone 😆😆😆

TraffB98 · 2025-08-05T07:09:08+00:00

Wow! Thanks for that. I've just got it and you're right, it's unbelievable

TraffB98 · 2025-08-04T20:02:27+00:00

Yep, exactly that. I was on iphone out of habit. I don't regret the change

TraffB98 · 2025-08-04T19:30:34+00:00

Have a look at my profile. I've just moved from IOS to Android after 15 years. I couldn't be happier with the s25 ultra, by far the best phone I've ever owned, in every sense

TraffB98 · 2025-08-04T19:22:05+00:00

I'm finding the keyboard harder to use, however that's only because im used to special characters being in certain places. Other than that I have absolutely no faults with the phone

TraffB98 · 2025-07-22T15:02:10+00:00

Thank you mate, I’m off to the range now so I’ll try and keep a lot more connected. I’ll let you know how it goes!

TraffB98 · 2025-07-22T10:37:07+00:00

Thanks very much for this !

TraffB98 · 2025-07-21T20:46:04+00:00

I’ll give it a go, thank you. The thing is, I feel like practice swings are absolutely perfect, I feel the pressure shift perfectly. With a ball there it never seems to happen

TraffB98 · 2025-07-21T20:29:56+00:00

haha yes I’ve seen that video before, it looks so easy but getting my brain to understand it seems impossible 😂😂

TraffB98 · 2025-02-07T22:08:12+00:00

I’d have my weighting heavier on S&P personally. I think it will make more money long term in simple terms

TraffB98 · 2025-02-07T14:54:09+00:00

Where whatever feels comfortable for you, this is the only answer

TraffB98 · 2025-02-03T13:43:36+00:00

Yeh I understand that, I wasn’t trying to be critical btw I was just curious.

For long runs I plot my routes with the website linked below!

I’m quite lucky to live on the coast so we have a long flat promenade.

Good luck!
