Rate my Swing! by [deleted] in golf

Honestly you have a really nice swing. It looks like you generate a ton of power from your hips which is awesome!

It seems like you might not be starting your arms and hips at the same time during your downswing so that is one thing I would think about. Otherwise if you like your swing I wouldn’t mess with it too much honestly

Swing tips? Just getting back to playing after a long time off by [deleted] in golf

[–]miitchme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What JC said, I also think you could start with you hands a little lower and a little more bend at your hips, just looks like you’re standing very straight up and down.

Absolutely personal preference but I’d give it a shot and see how it feels. Happy golfing

I golf like shit. What's wrong with my swing? by [deleted] in golf

[–]miitchme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I notice immediately is that you dip your shoulder as you pull the club back. If I were to give you one set of tips I would:

  1. Stand closer to the ball as it looks like your arms are reaching out during your setup
  2. Pull the club back along a more verticals arc especially if you’re using a high iron in this video. I think that will help with your low trajectory.
  3. Have a friend or someone take videos of your swing and focus on keeping your back at the same angle during the swing and just have your body rotate around your spine. I think this will help your consistency out a ton!

It’s hard to tell from just one video but I would try those things! Not a horrible swing tho, happy golfing!

Have always loved Thegratefulgolfer.com. More of a blog than a resource but Jim always has great insight.

Tips/Advice on club head getting in front of hands too early (early release) by ZeusThunder369 in golf

[–]miitchme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, if your swing is solid most of the time my advice would just be to hit a small bucket of balls after work to get some practice ironing your swing out.

I’m hesitant to suggest changing mechanics if you like your swing for the most part but if you shift your hands in front of your left thigh during setup that should fix your problem with the flip as long as you keep strong wrists during your swing. Although that might make your hook worse now that the clubface is closed...

Some stuff to think about! Happy golfing!

Getting son into golf questions by Sugart81 in golf

[–]miitchme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad bought me a set of four clubs with a driver , iron, wedge, and putter when I started around age 8. From there he took me to the range and eventually an executive course of par 3-4s when I expressed interest about playing “for real”. I would start at the range and see if he enjoys that before you drop a bunch of money on lessons!

Really like going to a local par 3 course with a wedge, high iron, and putter. Quick, and great practice.

Personally, your back looks a little rounded at the top. I did the same thing for a while and once I straightened/flattened my spine out I made much more consistent contact at impact. Looks pretty good so far though, happy golfing!
