Do you know of any good golf pros in the Cleveland area?

I am really struggling with what I need to do with my grip. I feel like the left hand in the grip really prevents me from getting lag in my swing. If I swing one handed with my right arm I can get great lag almost like hitting a tennis ball but as soon as I introduce the left I lose all of that nice flow and whipping motion in the swing.

RB, Thanks for the breakdown. Can you delve deeper into what you mean by lack of wrist set? I feel like I'm a major early releaser of the club and I've been trying to get that feeling of having the wrists releasing as late as possible which is why I continue to break them into the end of the backswing. I'll check out the references you mentioned. I see what you're saying about firing the hips early. Looks like that motion is that "humping the goat" phenomenon I've hear about.

Here's a video of a 7 iron swing from this morning. Critique away. I feel like I'm getting close to where I need to be but still struggle with hitting fat shots Rapsodo-MLM-Scott-Voiers-13101034.MOV

Makes sense. I’ve struggled with early extension/casting for this entire summer (I picked up golf back in may). Actually rotating my body in the backswing seems to have completely solved it. Again, can’t thank you enough for your insight. Here’s a quick comparison. Net photo is from today, range photo is from before my original post. Do you see the change or should I rotate even more?

Ok Ricky I’m at a loss… I went out to the garage golf net and tried what you mentioned. I’ve never in my life hit a sequence of perfect effortless straight balls in my entire life. It’s like all the strain and technicality left my swing and it was suddenly right, for once.

Awesome advice I never realized that. I feel like I’ve been having to do aggressively hinge my wrists to get to parallel and avoid early extension

I should also mention I am very much aware of my in-to-out swing. Every time I try to correct it I end up snap hooking the ball. Very frustrating

I’ve been working on my swing all year and have some serious issues with inconsistency. I got larger grips and severely weakened my grip to try to eliminate snap hooks which it has partially but I still snap occasionally with many shots being blocked out right or slicing. I do sometimes stripe them right down the center but my normal shot is a heavy draw. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and am desperate for some consistency. Anything glaring you can see in my 7 iron stock swing I would very much appreciate. FullSizeRender.MOV FullSizeRender.MOV
