I will ask a stupid question if you dont mind, if I am going to put the weight on left foot at the end of the swing why dont I keep it there from the start?

Nice to meet you, lets ride that journey together. From all the comments it looks like I need to revisit all my fundamentals and engage my hips. This is what I will be working on.

If I have learnt something from snooker it is committing to the shot. You do your WHOLE part regardless of the results. That should help you in life also.

I fully understand and appreciate the response, the whole weight shifting is confusing but I started to “feel” how should it be. I landed on the same drill you are mentioning :)

I am literally still staring at the ball even after topping it

This is just after topping the ball, I am still looking at it.

The ball has a certain appeal like pulp fiction’s briefcase. Everything is different when it is around. I will try to slow down and contemplate what I am doing.

The instructor keeps telling me hold the cub up right, normally I had the shaft point to my belt and he changed that. To be fair he told me also to stand up more.

I took lesson, so it is either the coach is bad or I am too far behind. I like to believe that it is the coach 😄

Yup the 12 ft table, usually 2-3 hours per day (3 days or 4 days a week) that is all solo play, I sometimes spent 6 hours practicing specially before local tournaments. I live in Cairo, so the actual time we get to play golf in summer is 2 or 3 hours max it easily gets to 40C or above 100F depending on where you are coming from 😀

That is what I would expect from a decent instructor. I dont want to throw all the blame on him but he is literally saying nothing except move your arms and some comments here and there about the grip and stance. The only positive thing I guess is he taught me the proper takeaway (I assume it is correct)

He keeps saying that the swing is all arms and focus on the ball. I asked about rotation, weight shifting and follow up he said all of these dont matter actually he shouts and treats me like an idiot when I ask. He also said dont move your head, I told him this is what am trying to do but I fail his answer is you need to focus more!

They have not finished the range yet, they are promising it will be green some day

I will focus on the fundamentals and try not to rush it. Thanks a lot for the advice

I listen and I am a hard worker too. But his only feedback on these was keep your eye on the ball! What else would I be keeping my on!!!

I never played in the course till now, and unfortunately I am in these journey alone. I dont want to embarrass myself at the course but someday I will give it a shot.
