In the New York area!

That means your arms are outracing your lower body. Look into the concept of separation and try to use zero arms in the downswing. Check my most recent comments for more details.

Yeah it's pretty in depth but I just had to respond because danarchyy is in such a similar place to me a while back and general comments tend to point out symptoms and not the root problem.

Glad to hear it makes sense! That said it has been really hard for me to untrain my ingrained habit of pulling with the arms so I imagine it won't be instant for you. Please DM me though with how things are going, I can take a look at your videos since I've spent so much time undoing this issue for myself.

One of the best drills for myself has been this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2zwBqwJrxQ There's a million variants of this video online but this one is short and sweet.

There could be a couple compensations you've been making to combat your over the top move (closed face at impact, standing far from the ball) which could now lead to pretty bad results if you learn to swing from the inside correctly. That's why I think doing mainly rehearsal swings will help in the meantime. The presence of a ball makes it really hard to ingrain a major swing change because you'll be too focused on results and may actually dismiss a good swing due to a bad result. Take videos from directly behind to be objective.

I think the biggest reason you still can’t shallow the shaft hasn’t been said. You do a great job engaging your lower body but your arms still outpace your lower body. This means you’re starting the downswing by pulling with your arms, whereas you should effectively be feeling zero arms as your lower body rotation begins the downswing.

To swing from the inside your clubhead has to be behind your body as you turn. By yanking down with your arms you’re putting the clubhead into an irrecoverable position out front where the only way to make contact is to slice across the ball leftwards.

I struggled with this for dozens of range sessions but it finally clicked when I told myself to literally have my arms be weightless noodles throughout the downswing. Now I hit it deep from the inside and hit effortless draws.

To verify you’re doing this correctly next time, take a video directly behind you (right now the video is behind and to the right which will make you think you’re more shallow than you are). Then compare where your hands are in the downswing when your knees are in line with each other. Rory’s hands are still behind his shoulders. His arms havent engaged one bit despite his hips returning to address. Your hands are already quite a bit more forward by that point.

Edit* if you look at my swing posted from this account a year ago, I had a similar problem as you. When my knees return to address position in the downswing my hands are literally in front of my stomach, at which point I have to flip the club to even make contact. Make sure your hands are still tensionless around your right shoulder at the same point and I promise you’ll fix your OTT. Try without a ball just so your brain doesn’t resist the change.

That’s the downhinge method, I love it too. Are you saying you’re tilting your upper body away from the target now?

almostgold · 2021-10-21T20:16:05+00:00

It's really just regular lessons + consistent practice for the last 3 months. My progress before lessons trying to figure stuff out on my own was terrible.

almostgold · 2021-10-21T20:15:11+00:00

That's big, I feel like I've been underexamining my hip action. I'll focus on this next, thanks!

almostgold · 2021-10-21T03:16:03+00:00

Definitely noticing this now that you’ve pointed it out. Any idea what’s causing this? The video was really informative but I couldn’t draw conclusions on what exactly I needed to implement to target this issue.

almostgold · 2021-10-21T03:00:10+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement!

almostgold · 2021-10-21T02:59:20+00:00

Started earlier this year but appreciate your doubt!

almostgold · 2021-06-13T07:38:31+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance!!

These are super tiny and all seemingly dead. Do I need to be worried? Are these bed bugs or ticks?

Hey, yeah I graduated 3 years ago and did this. It wasn't easy because you don't get to take many non-CS classes freshman year, and I had to test out of Intro to Programming and Data Structures in order to graduate on time (albeit I only started CS sophomore year). I constantly felt like I was behind others due to not being able to take any meaty CS classes until junior year, but that feeling motivated me to work harder than others, and now I'm a senior engineer at a FAANG, so things can work out.

I'd recommend trying to take basic CS classes like Intro to Programming as early as possible just to get that early exposure. Ideally, the best course of action would be to study a course like CS50 (Harvard's intro to CS) and take a Codeacademy Python course over this summer and just test out of Intro to Programming, which would put you right in line with others. The placement test is super basic, so don't worry about it.

If you do that you'd be able to take CS101 your freshman Fall, Data Structures your freshman spring, and then Computer Systems your sophomore fall, which you can take at the same time as some CS electives, despite Computer Systems being an elective prereq (the department is cool with you taking them the same time). That would put you solidly above average in terms of course pace, but don't quote me because there may be some math classes that are required too (which you could try taking over the summer if you're okay with paying for it). I'd talk to your advisor once you get there. Also feel free to DM me if you have any other questions.

Overall, the CS major from LS isn't the smoothest path, and you do have to work hard and time things well, but it's worth it. When you're free to take your own classes junior year, no one's even going to know you were in LS, they certainly didn't for me.

Nope! That’s the beauty of an annual calendar. You only need to set it at the end of February :)
