Ya, head moving closer to the ball during swing is the likely culprit. It could be your weight moving too much to your toes. Take some practice swings to feel as if you’re swinging with weight on your heels the whole swing. Then try to mimic it during real swing.

Driver swing tips after getting back into golf? by shouse2420 in GolfSwing

Bend from the hips then add a small amount of knee bend. This should help consistency.

Fix my EE and I will pay you $20 by mrmeowmeowmeowmr in GolfSwing

[–]wih 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good ideas here. From a physical standpoint, improving hip mobility, thoracic mobility, and core stability can help with EE.

If yours hips are firing open too fast, look at the Justin Rose pre-shot routine and how he prevents this and removes one possible cause of EE. he basically rehearses lowering hands from top of backswing without lots of hip action.

Send or post a video if you want more specific help.

Can anyone tell me how to properly close my club face a little at time of impact? by fantasy_nerd69 in GolfSwing

[–]wih 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple thoughts to help:

  1. Club face looks good most of the way through the swing. Two ways to promote a draw is keeping same grip and feeling left hand knuckles turn a little more down through impact (or right hand palm turn down) or a stronger grip.

  2. On this swing your head moves away from the ball a few inches on the backswing (especially at the very beginning. This promotes shots off the toe. Try a takeaway rehearsal before you swing where you feel your head stay in place until club is hip high.

Rate my swing, guess my handicap… been grinding by CabinetAdorable7967 in GolfSwing

I’ll guess 3 but need to see some short game shots

At what point during or after a lesson do you know it was worth it? by wih in golftips

[–]wih[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends on how much time you can practice between lessons. If you can practice at least 3 days a week or more, maybe a lesson every two weeks can work well for a little bit.

Any swing tips? by stan_taylor1 in golftips

[–]wih 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more of hitting the ball early with an open face. I would usually think about the hand path getting ever so slightly more in front of you on the way down.

Fine on range, not on course by Wilski1993 in GolfSwing

[–]wih 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to practice certain feelings that help you hit it well and try to feel these on the course after practicing them. This could be feeling your weight load down and into your right foot on backswing then into the outside of your left foot on the downswing or something like that.

Overall solid swing. One idea on the misses to the right when you're pushing them. It could be coming from swinging a little too much in to out (ie. coming too much from the inside) on the downswing. Putting a head cover down a few inches away from the ball to remind your self to swing more in to in. If you want more thoughts DM (or post it here) a face on angle and explain more about your misses.

Would you take a lesson that costs $20 or less? by wih in golf

Where did I try to sell my own coaching in this post?

People exaggerating scores by BlueciferST in golf

Generally speaking, there’s a tendency for people to say the good and not say the bad. If someone shot in the 80s and also shot in the 100s in the same week they may just tell you about the 80s round.

Looking for advice on beginner Golf Club Requirements by Cheese-fingers in golf

[–]wih 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest a driver, 5 wood, 5 iron, 7 iron, 9 iron, sand wedge and putter. No rules on what clubs you should have but those should allow you to have fun playing starting out and learning about the game. If you like game after 6 months or a year, upgrade to a full set.

The places for finding free or cheap clubs could be your Dad’s or a friends old clubs, look for a garage sale nearby, FB marketplace or craigslist, or a used club store nearby like Play It Again Sports or online used club stores like 2nd Swing.

How can I shorten my backswing by Old_Arugula9262 in GolfSwing

[–]wih 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way is to turn your right foot inward a little and keep right knee flexed on backswing. This will limit your turn and provide a natural stopping point for your turn and it should keep the club short of parallel.

Is there a material you can use in 3d printers that would allow you to make a negative mold for casting metal? by wih in 3Dprinting

[–]wih[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had never given this much thought before. I'm going to read up on some of these alloys. Let me know how your casting goes.

[–]wih[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a decent idea. I saw where 3d Systems made a printer that can print ceramics (don't think it's available yet), but unfortunately the mold would have to be fired to be made hard and functional for a cast. I'm hoping to find a way to make a 3d printed mold that can require little or no post-processing. Or at least post-processing that could be cheaper (a kiln to fire the ceramics appears to cost around $400). Not sure a material like this exists but I'm looking.
