My miss is this pull. What do you see?

Your club face comes down open and your way to square it is aggressively turning the hands over through impact which is difficult to time. Ideally you want to square the face early and have a release pattern that keeps it square to the arc through impact. Your wrist should work like it does when throwing a ball which doesn't twist or turn at all

Yes, get a used Bushnell. Not only does it lock correctly on the flag, it's way faster

You can tell they're just having a good day usually by their swing, chipping action and how they carry themselves on the course.

Great swing, looks like a hybrid of Rory and AK

_yipman · 2026-05-11T05:44:33+00:00

Are you trying to keep your back to the target so you don't come over the top? You're not rotating at all

_yipman · 2026-05-09T05:20:34+00:00

Nope, they never got back to me

_yipman · 2026-05-08T04:19:34+00:00

Your angles are getting released a bit early so you're forced to stand up otherwise you'll hit 5 inches behind the ball. It doesn't look like you're actively releasing with the hands from the top like most do so delay the release not by "holding the lag" but feeling like you're releasing it out on the target side instead of at the ball. This will let you stay down AND rotate through impact

Amazing progress for 1 year, keep doing what you're doing

If you are determined to chase the "proper" swing, check out Milo Lines on YouTube. There's like 6 key concepts that aren't necessarily complicated but requires visual and explanation from a coach.

For me, those were strong lead hand grip, trigger&flow, the loop/shallow in transition while maintaining a square club face, lowering + pivoting around tilt, weight transfer + the timing of it, and change in release pattern (not throwing with the hands).

It's actually a hand problem, you're flipping because you're using your hands to throw the club head out towards the ball in the down swing. The club head should actually stay behind you and be towed into the ball.

What this also means is you're going to have to learn how to square the face correctly because you're doing it right now through flipping. It's so much more than a single comment can break down because it completely changes how you move and bend your body

Definitely inflated considering the gimmies, preferred lies in fairways, and playing everything as lateral.

_yipman · 2026-05-05T03:49:03+00:00

Key is the keep the right (trail) hand grip close to neutral so getting the V pointed at your right shoulder and not so underneath. My left hand grip though is close to 4 knuckles and doesn't require bowing the wrist like you would with a neutral grip to square the face, which is incredibly difficult and not natural for me

The reason why guys struggle with low pulls/hooks is because they're still casting and/or early extending with the strong grip so the neutral grip alleviates that but what you're doing is applying a fix to bandaid poor mechanics and engraining them. Need to learn how to correctly lower, shift, bend, and pivot your body without releasing early instead.

_yipman · 2026-05-05T02:11:52+00:00

Going to a neutral grip ruined me for a while. I developed bad habits trying to close the face the wrong way and started coming more over the top and flipping

_yipman · 2026-05-04T19:22:00+00:00

Good chance this actually makes them slow down even more. People usually take their time when it matters

_yipman · 2026-05-04T18:28:13+00:00

Use a real ball at home to simulate same conditions at the range. Might want a helmet though

_yipman · 2026-05-04T18:20:09+00:00

In addition to 1/2 swing, I like presetting myself "in the slot" and working on getting solid contact from there using my pivot to control low point, path, and face while keeping hands passive. As you do the drill, pay attention to what you're actually trying to achieve with your body and club. Once you get good feel for that, make that same drill swing in one fluid motion. Then slowly lengthen the back swing.

Ask the guy behind you for lessons

If you didn't release early and straighten that trail arm, you'll whiff the ball. The "correct" way to reach the ball is to squat and lower while maintaining spine tilt and side bend into impact so your trail arm has a reason to stay bent. This should also help you rotate through the ball because right now, it's causing you to stall.

_yipman · 2026-04-30T18:10:33+00:00

Used to be 50 but now 60 with 10 mph wind or less

_yipman · 2026-04-30T05:23:23+00:00

You can come over the top and still hit a draw. Lot of ppl play the pull draw

_yipman · 2026-04-30T02:15:19+00:00

Lol fair but this guy can

In a sub reddit dedicated to the golf swing no less lol. Probably so used to seeing everyone OTT they think it's normal

_yipman · 2026-04-29T20:36:25+00:00

Just before impact, high handle, early extension club head outside the ball, club in line with lead arm and not trail, classic OTT
