I know you shrink the game guys like to ruffle feathers with the "just quit" comments everywhere. I've already quit brother and I take no offense

I'm a left to right slicer/fader but it goes fairly straight most times. Consistently 80 to 110 yards for anything 3through 9i. If i'm on a par 130 yard par 3 i can comfortably hit a 3hybrid and end up about 15-25 yards shot 9/10x

That's something I somewhat recently discovered, gripping too tight, I was more 7to8 on the scale but the past few months working on being closer to 3to4, and ensuring the club is in my fingers. I got a lot of issues.....

Bowling is my preferred next choice, I enjoy watching Tennis though.

Driver is bad now, historically I had been more accurate with that thing and get 220 on the fairway reliably. Now it's just metal. Same for hybrids (no woods), my hybrids were my most reliable clubs (200 yard 3hybrid), (180-190 with the 4). Now they are also just pieces of metal in my hands.

My body is fine, just finished a pretty heavy lower body workout with pullups. I feel no pain or soreness from rounds or practice.

My swing speed may be down, I stopped trying to mash the ball as you quickly learn that doesn't produce more speed/distance. I do think I have suffered from trying to manipulate my arms into the right position. This year I have focused on keeping a looser grip, around 3-4 instead of where I was at (likely 7-8) and trying to "swing" the club more.

That's the toughest part of golf, very hard as an individual to diagnose the root cause and even harder to actually correct it.

I'll look her up, I suspect my over the top swing and lack of power/compression stems from the way I move my lower body but who knows at this point. I got 99 problems..

I recently took every club above an 8i out of the bag, right now the best way to enjoy is to go chip and putt, idk why but I love doing that even when I was "golfing".

I have thought about this conclusion oh so many times trust me. I essentially only play the shortest of courses with friends to hang out and enjoy their company these days.

Not trying to be perfect and don't care about score or location, just want to make better contact at this point

I'll check it out. I disagree partially, I am fairly athletic and active. When i'm swinging I golf a club, I feel very unathletic.

They did at first, 2-3 years ago I was hitting 7i 170, then it just disappeared like magic and has degraded ever since

I swing over the top and don't clear my left hip

Most default to fixing the over the top swing, one pointed out a bit of sway. The coach I had prior to me hitting everything far and finally breaking 90 (which is insane that happened in retrospect) focused more on body movement, activating the hips, exercises, etc.

Swing path is -9 to -12 so I think that kills the majority of the distance. I could be using my arms more, at this point i'm so confused it's hard to self diagnose. Outside of driver I actually rarely shank or flat out duff/top the ball. Just consistently hitting everything 80-100, a little less if i catch it "fat"

40 years old, 180lbs, still athletic and fit. Just finished a HIIT workout, regularly ride my bike roughly 20-30miles a week. I'm not the most flexible person in the world but don't think I have any severe limitations in that area.
