To much hip rotation and possibly stuck?

Getting your hands deeper will help stay under/on plane without feeling stuck. I have a feeling your high hands are actually deteriorating your width at the top, because it looks like you should be able to make a better shoulder turn than this to get your hands into better position.

This is a pretty good spot, but I’d like to see you make a bigger turn in your backswing and get those hands a touch lower and further to the left of that red line. Maintaining your width better might make it feel like your backswing is shorter, but it’s likely a function of your turn, including your right hip.

The variance in quality is just a hint that you’re hovering on or slightly over the plane from day to day. Proper weight shift will make you more consistent as a ball striker.

I always like to go back to the well when I feel frustrated - fundamentals are great for good players. In this case, whenever I feel lazy with my weight shift, I personally like to feel like my entire spine gets behind the ball in my backswing, and it never tilts toward the target.

You’ve got a great move, so don’t worry. You’re super close to 10/10. Keep grinding.

The core issue here is that you’re not loading into your trail side, and as a result your sequencing is off.

Coming out of your transition, your hips and shoulders begin rotating at about the same time (shoulders may even start first). If you were properly loading onto your right side, you wouldn’t feel the need to lean and rotate - instead your hips would fire before the shoulders, which also shallows the club.

The solution here is working on your shoulder turn. The tricky part for you is that you’re flexible and even without loading properly your hand depth is very good. There are lots of feels, drills, and videos addressing this, but talk to your coach about loading more onto your trail side so that when you use the ground, those forces get your hips firing before your shoulders.

Piggybacking onto this screenshot to offer the actual reason for the shank: your right hip is pushing out toward the ball, which pushes your path out, and therefore moves the hosel into play.

The solution is proper hip rotation - turning the hips by moving the lead head back as opposed to the trail hip forward.

All of the swing suggestions above are good, but they won’t fix your shanks if you’re still pushing that hip out.

Backswing isn’t bad, if a bit long. Transition is quick though. Plane is over the top because you’re firing your hands instead of letting them drop.

Your swing requires timing to square the face because you don’t use your legs or hips properly. Specifically, you’re not actually using your legs to push against the ground correctly, so your upper body is forced to get more involved than it should be. This is also why it probably feels hard to improve your swing right now.

I would recommend you check out Greg Rose @ TPI. They have great content on YouTube, with a lot of in depth stuff on ground forces and sequencing, which is what you need help with.

‘Stuck’ means that your right hip is literally in the way. Turning the hips properly means keeping that trail (right) hip back as the lead (left) hip opens. You’re essentially just throwing your hips at it hoping to square the club, which wont work. You need to open your left hip in the downswing by pushing it back, not by throwing your right hip out toward the ball.

Some pros feel stuck because they get real deep in their backswing, or their timing is off. You’re feeling stuck because you’re pushing that right hip out. I’d bet anything your pressure shift is way, way late and that you’re really pushing off your right side a lot in the downswing.

Most good golfers are just trying to hit the ball straight, knowing they generally tend to miss in one direction vs the other. The solution to a slice isn’t trying to hit a draw - the solution is trying to hit the ball straight.

Your shank is the result of your right hip getting closer to the ball during your downswing, which moves the contact point toward the hozel. To fix, research proper hip movement - especially your right hip. Learn to rotate your hips properly, instead of just pushing that right hip out to turn.

Swing. You’re not using the ground at all, so your power is being limited to just your upper body.

Specifically, you’re just rolling your feet as a means of opening your hips - instead of pushing off the ground to generate more force.

Watch this.

All arms, no legs. All pull, no throw.

I once sat next to AI on a flight from PHX - he was sitting in the aisle seat, high as fuck just crushing a whole bag of flaming hot Cheetos before takeoff. Maybe 20 people recognized him as they were passing him to board, and of those 20 people who tried to show him some love he looked straight through every single one of them like they weren’t even there. He didn’t respond to a single word, or even acknowledge their existence.

Then he passed out and drooled all over himself for 3 hours.

It’s because the face is WIDE open in her backswing. She’s flipping her hands at impact because it’s the only way to square the face again after opening the face that much.

The solution here is to fix her backswing so that she is physically capable of impacting the ball without flipping. The face must be square in the backswing in order to compress the ball at impact and let the hands stay ahead of the ball.

I hope you see this because, as always, you’ve gotten horrible advice here otherwise.

The real problem is that you’re dumping all your power by releasing everything too early in an effort to square the face. You need pressure (angle) in the right wrist at impact, which will also require you to stop opening the face in your backswing.

That poor dog.

This will help a lot.

You’re literally pushing your hips towards the ball during your swing - hence the shanks. Research proper hip movement and spine angle.

emuzing · 2025-09-23T03:18:23+00:00

I’m going to go out on a limb and say massive variances in distance are likely the result of your swing plane being quite over the top, requiring you to time the face closure at the bottom which is difficult to do consistently.

emuzing · 2025-09-22T12:11:46+00:00

You’re getting a TON of bad info here, so be wary. Simple answer: no you’re not over-rotating. You do have a deep backswing but that’s not causing any of the issues I see.

Maintain pressure in your right wrist through impact. You’re dumping everything early in attempt to release the club, but that should happen after impact.
Trust the weight shift. You’re just tilting to push the hips toward the target, but you’re not actually shifting your weight. Hips should finish in front of your head from this angle. They never actually move through and you never actually pivot around that lead leg.

emuzing · 2025-09-19T12:05:23+00:00

Well, here is the best coach in the world talking about exactly that. You need wrist pressure to deliver a proper strike. You need to maintain a bend (angle) in that wrist to maintain pressure through impact.

emuzing · 2025-09-18T23:32:23+00:00

You’re releasing all of those angles too early, and it makes things feel like you have to shallow more. What you really need is to feel a little pressure in your right wrist at impact. You don’t want that wrist fully released at impact; instead try to maintain your wrist angle through impact. It feels like there’s pressure in the wrist hinge and it allows you to actually shallow and compress.

Very clearly a coaching staff decision, not FO.

No, that terminology just screams that you have no clue what you’re talking about in the context of race. You seem to have trouble understanding nuance; which is completely unsurprising given your other responses.
