The pause of those players is perception they don’t actually pause they are still moving in the swing and working pressure to the lead side. A pause would lead to there being separate movements in the swing but in reality the swing is a flowing movement from takeaway to downswing.

Even if you don’t order custom lie and loft should be checked because they are more than likely off, but I would suggest to don’t just go to a fitter/builder and have them put it on a machine and compare because they may not have the same machine the manufacture uses and there is also possible calibration issues. Instead use the sharpie/dry erase marker test and see how much they need to be adjusted and then adjust. For some lie angle isn’t that important and 1° won’t have an impact on their ball flight. But it’s not just golf, all manufactured products have some kind of tolerance and in some industry it’s tighter than others. With golf they are massed produced and there aren’t just making one set of clubs a day, but are more than likely building hundreds. As for the bending they’ll more than likely what happens is they put the iron on the machine and bend it the number of degrees requested and aren’t first setting it to what the manufacturers standard lie is or bending the number based of that spec. It also costs money for the level of detail to have exact specs requested and people are already complaining about the costs of clubs. Just compare the price from a manufacturer to what a club builder charges for the exact same setup. It’s going to cost at least couple hundred more if not closer to $500 more to have a club builder make them which are going to be delivered with the exact specs. Example p790 directly from TM with my shaft and of choice is just under $1400. Same set from my preferred club builder is $1850

Arms should never be passive in the swing. I maybe wrong but I think you are haroputt on wrx and have posted and more than likely have read Monte talk about arms aren’t passive in the swing

Lots of thin shots with some chuks. Indication the swing is causing low point issues caused a change in angles. Typically body is dipping and causing the chunks or raising and causing the thins. Or there is a good amount of movement of weigh back and forth. Or a combo of all that. More than likely on short there is more arm swing and not enough of the body involved.

Same grip for all swings. Grip changes for chips

Most pros don’t have a deliberate or slow backswing with any club nor do they have deliberate or slow transition. They all have pretty much the same tempo/flow throughout the back. The slow backswing or the low and slow takeaway lead to improper hip movements.

A partial gap wedge could be better. Very few good players full swing a wedge or scoring club. The goal is to continue distance, flight and spin

Depends on the person. I see plenty of similar misses from 100 yards and in as with longer distances for both full swings as partial swings. Ott and too inside out for most golfers are improper sequencing. With 100 yards and in there’s a good chance of deceleration. The feel of the swing too long so they slow it down to not hit it as far or on the other side too quick of a swing

It’s not going to help you if your goal Is to improve. You are changing the feel of the club between sets and if the old set is at a good fit could cause you to groove bad habits

While true a too inside to out swing will produce the right ball flight when the face doesn’t close on time and then compensation for that is to close the face faster and you end up with hooks and pull.

Have you looked at aim while using a camera from dtl view and see where your shoulders, hips, feet are pointed and how they align with the clubface. Warching swing videos on a few forums people thing they are aimed correctly but in reality their club is aimed at the target but their body is aligned in a different direction or vice versa. Misalignment can also lead to swing issues that will cause two way miss

There is no chart that will tell you what a setting will do. We all have different sensitivities to change. Closing the face may affect one person more than another and one could start hitting hooks and the other because of how the face looks end up holding off the face and hitting the ball right to avoid it going left. The long chart will tell you how many degrees things will change with each setting. The best way to tell what the setting will do is make a change and hit balls with it in they setting. If you don’t like the change then try another setting. If you need more spin or more launch then add loft. If you need less then take loft off. Always go to the extreme first then work back to nuetral. If you want to affect direction play with both the loft and the lie settings.

The drills that would provide accuracy are a more consistent swing. Two way miss is indicative of a possible swing flaw which is more than likely an out of position club face that causes either and over the top move or a too far inside to out which is more typical of better golfers. Post a video of your swing and let’s see what’s going on The other thing to do is set expectations. The best GIR percentage on your is 75%, the average is around 70%.

Get rh thought if trying to hit up out of your head. This leads to hanging back, shallowing by dipping the back shoulder and swing to far inside to out for some. For those that come over the top it can lead to a buckhorn if other issues. You should be trying to swing neutral. That will have a more consistent path and aoa, launch, spin, etc will take care of itself. The ball placement and swing will automatically cause a neutral to positive aoa.

The back to the target is a good thought but if things are on a bad position with the club or club face there will be issues. Keeping the head on the wall isn’t a bad thing but are you allowing it to rotate at all? If there are swing issue, sound drills that will fix them are going to be beneficial. one thing that happens for some who are working on not taking the arms away can be to suck them in to far and get over the top of the better player to shallow by dipping the shoulder. Feel free to post a swing video from face and and down the line. The camera should be at hand height. For down the line it should be in line with the hands. For face on point at the center of the body

Putters are just a tool. Sure some can be super expensive but they are still just a tool in the bag. Unless you have a limited edition putter, circle t putter they aren’t holding any value the minute you take the wrapper off. Look at image of Tiger’s scotty putter. It’s far from pristine.

I’m not saying it’s early extension but it sounds like it and wouldn’t suggest anything without seeing a swing. Before we get into that though it sounds as if you aren’t doing anything to actually change your swing. Did your instructor give you any drills to do on the range? If so how much time are you spending doing them and how often?

Sounds like you are early extending and getting hands high leading to the toe strikes and the chunky ones coming from hanging back and not getting pressure onto the lead side early enough. You say you are putting in work to get better? Can you elaborate on what the instructor from your lessons told you was wrong with your swing and what you were given to work on. also elaborate on what your practice sessions look like

I use evolve golf tees. I will usually buy some of their wood tees.

What are you trying to accomplish by soft stepping the iron?

It’s day 3 protocol and while he does have the band relax which is p6 position it’s the same concept, it’s not using wrist set but just getting the wrists into the impact position. This is what Monte uses in the beginning of efficient swing. But if you want pure dead arm with no wrists look at stricker and day

This and what Jason day and Steve stricker use. It’s actually what protocol 1 of planemate has you do. Also what Milo lines teaches as his foundation 1 and foundation 2 is with wrist set which is the max wrist set in a full swing

This. It could also be a bad fit in the shaft weight, overran weigh and feel if the longer clubs. Ive seen several respected fitters talk about creating the same feel throughout the bag

There’s no standard as I explained in to posts above and that there isn’t a standard measurement system for each company so even if they list the same length on their website. So we need to move away from normal or standard unless we are talking about the same iron line or in some cases. You aren’t delofting the club your lie angle will change tho, as will weight. For some people they could hit the 7i at it’s factory length as good as the 6i cut down and some can’t. For some clubs are too long or too short based on their build and how they swing. Its not really just something that’s cut and dry. It’s something unfortunately needs to be tried and tested by the golfer or done thru a fitting. Knowing why the fitter decided 1/2 short would help. But just as an example of how weird things can be @Golfspy_CG2 did a fitting at tpi with a master fitter. He is 6’7” and they fit him into the factory length for their irons and even considered going 1/4” short.

It’s been awhile since I looked at each company and compared specs. I’ve done some quick ones between a few brands for reference in threads on here. I would say that it’s no more than +/- .5” but as I mentioned in my post it doenst account for how the r mad measures length. I know TM shows it on their site and that they are different from some toner brands. I have seen posts on wrx of members comparing their current club at let’s say 37” with a new one from a other brand at 37” and one is 1/4” longer. Not surprised you are running into that and learning it as you get more hands on. I learned it in 2012/2013 when I started diving into gear and learning the fitting process and assisting at demo days and doing some demo days for the cleveland/srixon rep. For some people the length difference isn’t an issue just like for some swingweight or overall weight isn’t an issue. It depends on how sensitive one is to the change. For me I don’t have a lot of sensitivity to swing weight or even shaft weight. I have irons that range from 105-130 and don’t really notice much difference. I’ve tested 95g recoils recently in irons and could play them without any issue. For me it’s more the shafts profile and how it feels. I usually don’t do well with real stuff but section shafts in woods.
