Syks7 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 So rather than just cherry picking one swing I took the time to just film almost every swing of a session and cut it together with some shot tracer. I'm through my lesson package and I think I'm mostly shallowing and on path (which is what 3 of 6 lessons ended up being were about). My weight transfer mostly seems to be good, and I like where my abbreviated backswing is at. I'm not thrilled with where my arms, hands, hips, and shoulders are at impact but it's something I'm working on. Any tips or drills to open up my hips and shoulders more at impact and to keep my elbows a little tighter toward my torso. I'm seeing a lot of heel strike (which will be apparent in this video) on Driver. edingc and ejgaudette 2 Quote Driver 0311 Gen 5 -- Ventus Velocore+ Blue Hybrids 0317X 2&3 -- Tensei CK Orange Irons ZX7 4/AW -- C-Taper Lite 110 Wedges RTX Zipcore 56/10º@55º 58º/10 C-Taper Lite 110 Putter Link.1 -- Accra Ball Zstar Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we can do a good job of timing the compensation we will have our better results and when we can’t we get our not so good to bad shots. When looking at fixing a “problem” in the swing one has to look at the cause not the symptom. Not getting hips and shoulders open at impact is a symptom and actually not a fault but results from a compensation. It’s hard to tell especially with the size of the video but what I see is that your turn is more of a false turn. Your arms separate from your body early and you move the left hip out instead of the right hip back. What happens is that you lift your arms to the top and get them too deep. Your shallowing move is dipping the right shoulder and not a pressure shift to the left with some bend at the waist and the left hip going back. You get a little stuck as a result and have to easily extend to hit and throw the arms at the ball. Some of this is typical with bigger guys. Look at Kenny Perry as an example. Drills to work on would be out a club across your chest, turn then add left bend. This will be where you want to be in the backswing. From the feel pressure move into left foot with adding some additional left bend. From here you want to feel you bend at the waist and your hips move back a little. Then feel your left hip move back and up as you turn to the ball. Here’s a drill too Syks7 and GolfSpy_SHARK 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syks7 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Haven't video'd or posted my swing for a bit. I've been focused on feel and here's where I'm at right now. Turn mute on. There's a lot of course instruction noise going on and I hadn't realized how loud it was. I'm pleasantly surprised with my setup, takeaway, weight shift/transition/recentering, and impact position. the main focus this year has been getting that lead hip cleared out and it looks like I might have finally done it. I'm less thrilled with the steepness, elbow position, and general extraneous movement. Anyone else see anything I'm missing. I'm looking at you @RickyBobby_PR I seem to have a naturally steep swing with a flying elbow that I slide back toward when I'm focused on other parts of the swing. It isn't a disaster but I feel like I'd be far better position (and more consistent) with my club if I could keep my trail elbow in a better position.

NM01 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Not the best angle for reviewing a swing. Always full face on looking at the center of the body with the camera at hand height and from down the line with the camera at hand height pointing at the hands. What appears to be happening is you love the arms and not really turn the chest/core and then lift the arms in the backswing while also the left knee kicks out in the backswing which is going to prevent any turn. you to slide in the downswing which causes you to be steep in transition and drop the right side to shallow Work on pressure shift and takeaway. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CseNygvrDC_/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Syks7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always taken it inside and it’s one of those moves that I’ve conceded I likely won’t change after 35 years of playing.

I’ve seen Monte recommend keeping the right foot planted. While they're not proper DTL (GPOD arrives this week) there are notable differences. Right arm is supporting the club better, right hip is working better in transition and the result was far better. My preferred ball with a driver is a very slight cut and this ball did exactly that. @chisagI took your advice to work on tempo and today was a proper result of pausing before starting the downswing.

Rich there is so much to like about your swing! Without changing your backswing or plane or excellent tempo You are swaying away for your target and moving/straitening your right leg making it impossible to use your lower body to start your downswing. If you keep the flex in your right leg you will be in a better position to start your downswing by moving your weight to your left foot, which will help you turn your hips through impact. With your hips square to the line at impact now, you are crowding the ball forcing you to stand up and lose power. ... Try this, put a golf ball under the back side of your right foot and maintain the pressure on the inside of your foot, keeping your knee flex and start your downswing by pushing with your trail foot/leg to your left foot. No need to change anything else. Of course this sounds really simple and in a vacuum it is, but changing habits that are engrained is never easy so it takes discipline and dedication. You can do this without hitting a ball in your house (if you have high ceilings) or in your yard and of course at the range. Hope this helps!

You can do this without hitting a ball in your house (if you have high ceilings) or in your yard and of course at the range. Hope this helps! Admittedly, I know that I can have a tendency to roll my right foot on the takeaway a bit. I don't know if it's related to the fact that I have very flat feet and have some pretty high arched orthotics in those shoes that force my foot that way, or if it's just a bad habit. I do have to think about keeping the inside of my right heel down to keep from rolling like that. As far as the hip thing, I'm kind of at the point where I'm not sure if I can physically make the proper move or have the patience to try to rework my swing. My left hip tends to "catch" in the socket, making it hard to make that movement where the left hip goes back. I don't think the video shows it, but I have some where I can see the left hip suddenly release from that caught position long after I'm at the finish. So, part of me is cautious to mess with it because I'm not sure how much time and frustration I'm willing to dedicate to something that may not even be realistically possible. I'm probably much more critical of myself than I need to be, but it's my nature. chisag 1 Quote Driver: Titleist GT3 w/ GD Tour AD VF 6S (Testing in progress) 3 & 5 Woods: Titleist GT3 w/ GD Tour AD VF 7S (Testing in progress) Hybrids: 19 and 22 degree PXG 0317XF Gen 4 w/ Project X Evenflow Riptide 80g Irons: 5-PW PXG 0311P Gen 4 w/ KBS Tour 120 Wedges: Indi 50 FLX, 54 FLX, 58 ATK w/ KBS Wedge 610 (Official Review) Putter: PXG Battle Ready Blackjack, 36.5”, Double Bend neck Titleist GT Long Game Testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
