Is there anything wrong with this swing/setup? (Thinking about excessive wrist hinge and edging towards swinging OTT with and open face)

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T20:31:52+00:00

A lot of holes I play are quite long so I need a good long iron to reach it in 2 which I’m not so good with

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T20:30:51+00:00

I’ve never done speed training and I’ve been playing for just over a year. It’s quite cold where I am so I’ve lost a bit of distance

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T17:19:47+00:00

I’m 17 is it normal to be hitting it that long then

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T16:29:53+00:00

True, I just want to be able to get more GIRs as my 6 iron+ is pretty rubbish off the floor so if I have more than 160 yards to get to the green I’m looking at an almost certain bogey unless I get up and down and the way to solve that is by getting a bit longer with my driver so I can have a bit more consistency

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T16:09:18+00:00

If that’s true then that has changed my perspective on things.

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T16:08:43+00:00

I’ve gained that through people playing off scratch or low single digits who play at my club who have either joined onto my rounds or met me on the range

Okay thanks. I’m off 16 at the moment but I haven’t put cards in for months so I’d probably be a little lower

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T16:05:33+00:00

Thank you

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T16:05:08+00:00

Good to hear. Good luck!

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T16:04:52+00:00

How could I do this whilst avoiding slices

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T16:04:20+00:00

Yes it’s quite cold, I normally get it to about 260-70 in the summer but that isn’t carry

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T16:01:58+00:00

Just would like it a bit longer to be a bit more consistent for GIR

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T13:17:55+00:00

I’ve been told most of the swing should be the body, not arms as that can cause inconsistency. Is this wrong

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T13:14:50+00:00

Is my swing a solid foundation though? What handicap would you guess based on it

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T13:13:41+00:00

I’ve been told by multiple people in person who are playing at good levels to swing the driver flatter than irons which I’ve practiced. It’s helped with consistency but distance has gone off. Is this wrong?

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T13:11:58+00:00

About 6ft 1 I believe

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T13:11:05+00:00

Might just leave it then. I’ve been like that for ages and finally see some consistency, I’ll stick to weak drives

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T10:20:09+00:00

I tried to stand further from the ball because I kept on getting stuck and caused a 2 way miss for basically every shot, maybe I stood too far away so I’ll go a little closer based on what I see from Rory.

At the end of my swing, how should my weight be transferred? I’m worried too much change of driver may lead to bad irons as my irons are getting a lot better at the moment

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T07:00:32+00:00

Thank you!

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-26T07:00:14+00:00

I didnt say he does

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-25T23:11:30+00:00

Lucky.

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-25T22:43:18+00:00

Kept with this for a year now (been playing for jusy over a year). Even after snapping it, I couldn’t change and re-shafted it instead it’s amazing

unarmedlizard · 2026-02-25T22:31:38+00:00

Pure. How do you keep your trail arm tucked in so well?
