As long as your swing is repeatable and you are hitting the ball where you want without blocks or hooks, "perfect" is usually pretty irrelevant. Especially with your tempo and balance. Thanks Balance is so underrated but so important. When people offer feedback and include that word, my ears perk up and I listen. 32 years of playing without formal instruction has created certain habits. The bad habit I’m trying to ease is reducing how steep I get through impact. As you pointed out, I am inside on the takeaway and my downswing begins with my left arm pulling downward. To counter, I am consciously trying to tell myself to keep my right elbow rotating into my torso through the downswing. Everyone speaks their own swing language and this concept in my head lets me feel the club shallowing out into impact. It’s early in that process but so far, I feel connected. sirchunksalot 1 Quote Titleist TSi3 Fujikura Speeder NX Blue 60X TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Titleist U505 2 Tensei 1K Black 85 X Titleist T100 4-P Nippon Modus 3 120X PING S159 50-S 55-H 59-T DG X100 Vokey SM8 50, SM9 54 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120s L.A.B.

chisag Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 ... In all my years of teaching I never taught "perfect". All instructors have their own opinions about the golf swing but my focus was always on just helping my student do what they already do, just do it better. Like turning a slice into a manageable fade. I have always thought the most important element was shot distance and direction. If you are hitting the ball where you want with the distance you want, swing mechanics are really irrelevant. I am old enough to remember swings like Trevino, Floyd, Palmer and Chi Chi that were all very "flawed" but consistently repeatable. The other 2 big requirements for me was tempo and balance. If you have those 3, there is very little reason to ever change anything imo. JohnSmalls, sirchunksalot, bens197 and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

Have you ever tried to hold your right foot on the ground for as long as possible? Not something I have been thinking a lot about, but I like to see it on the ground or just off the ground at impact, ideally. I haven't been able to hit range balls for a couple weeks (I've played 18 twice, instead), but the thought I was last given by my coach was to let my arm structure work down and back to start my downswing. That has the effect of bumping hips forward slightly, and then I'm basically squatting into my right heel and and pressing into my front foot/toes. Lots of work to do this year! I think the range where I hit balls at lunch should be opening within the next week or two. That will help a lot.

My "typical" ball flight is definitely high, usually I start somewhere between straight and to the right, and the flight is mostly straight, but usually moves on way or the other depending on the day. And "typical" isn't nearly as often as I'd like haha. With the bad miss being low and left, I think you're right with the hesitancy to add more hands in late in the swing. Glad you mentioned that though - I went back and reread the email my coach sent me and I originally misread it. He was more saying my arms and shoulders took over my finish, overpowering my wrists and lower body. 1 hour ago, edingc said: Also, regarding your takeaway, this looks pretty darn good to me... And thanks! When we first started, I was super inside but never "felt" like I was. Which had me a ton steeper on the downswing and led to a ton of inconsistencies.

My "typical" ball flight is definitely high, usually I start somewhere between straight and to the right, and the flight is mostly straight, but usually moves on way or the other depending on the day. And "typical" isn't nearly as often as I'd like haha. With the bad miss being low and left, I think you're right with the hesitancy to add more hands in late in the swing. Glad you mentioned that though - I went back and reread the email my coach sent me and I originally misread it. He was more saying my arms and shoulders took over my finish, overpowering my wrists and lower body. And thanks! When we first started, I was super inside but never "felt" like I was. Which had me a ton steeper on the downswing and led to a ton of inconsistencies. I'm especially curious to see how my driving consistency will be this season, as that's what was killing me last year. Sounds like we have very similar problems. I, too, struggle with an inside takeaway, and it does all sorts of nasty stuff to my swing. 2 minutes ago, ncwoz said: Oops, didn't answer your question. I'm not sure with the driver specifically, but that's what I try to do with my wedges, and that works really well. Reason I asked is because I could see the club face staying more square at the top if it didn't go back as far, with the right arm/hands/shoulder like a waiter's tray. ncwoz 1 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 7.5 / Anti-Cap: 13.0 (Last Updated Feb. 19, 2024) Driver: Callaway Paradym TD (10.5°, -1/N), 45.75", Fujikura Motore X F1 6X | Fitting Post 3 Wood: Cobra RadSpeed Big Tour (14.5°), 43", Fujikura Motore X F1 7X 20° Hybrid: PXG 0211 (2020 Model), 40.25", Mitsubishi Tensei AV RAW White 90X 4 Utility: Cobra KING Utility (2020 Model), 38.5", Aerotech SteelFiber i110cw Stiff 5-PW: Ben Hogan PTx Pro, 37" 7 Iron, Aerotech SteelFiber i125cw Stiff | Club Champion Fitting 50°, 54°, 58°: Edel SMS, V Grind, Nippon Modus 125 Wedge| Official Review Thread Putter: L.A.B.

Josh Ross Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Yesterday I was trying to work on hitting a straight ball. I've spent the past two seasons perfecting the push draw and it has become my stock shot. I can play the baby fade on command, but when I try to hit one dead straight I still get a small draw on it. Here was the result of yesterday's session. yungkory 1 Quote In my Lux XV Cart Bag: Driver: RADSPEED XB PTC 10.5° Fujikura Speeder Evolution 661 VII Stiff Utility: Apex UW 17° and 19° Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 70 6.0 4 Hybrid: KING LTDx 21° KBS PGI 85 Stiff Irons: ZX5/ZX7 Project X LZ 6.0 Wedges: 2.0 49°, 53°, 57° Project X LZ 6.0 Putter: L.A.B.

PMookie Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Now I just gotta get back on-plane in the takeaway and not come inside so fast. Good thing is I get to a good spot at the top, and come back down on-plane. Butt needs to “stay on the wall” as well. Getting there! M.

My scores are getting lower, maybe I should stop worrying about it and just play.
