Popular Post null Posted January 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2019 So I have alluded to my incoming swing overhaul in numerous threads, but thought it would be fun to document everything in one thread as I progress. I have taken lessons before, but they have always been to patch up a swing fault and keep me going. However, I reached a tipping point this year - my current swing limits me. I am a low single-digit handicap, but I get frustrated because of my lack of consistency. I hit the ball far with my driver (270+ carry), but I am inconsistent with my irons and wedges. My scores bounce around between the low 70s and mid 80s. The reason for these large fluctuations in scores is the nature of my swing. I am long and lean and I have a lot of moving parts that require so much precise timing to work. When my swing is on, I can hit my driver near 300 on command and I can flush my irons, but when my timing is just a little bit off, I get a two way miss off the tee and hit a lot of weak flares with my scoring clubs. 7 iron swing below: Knowing that my golf game would never become more consistent unless I made some big changes, I spoke in detail with my instructor about my goals. He told me about a winter program he offers. It is a series of 8 lessons over 3 months where we can really get my swing where it needs to be. I signed up for the program and my initial lesson is Thursday, January 3rd. Things we will be focusing on: - Wrist angles: I get far too much wrist extension in my backswing (back of hand moves towards arm). I need to focus on keeping my wrist flat or even adding a little bit of flexion. This will really help me control the face to path relationship more consistently and eliminate my reliance on aggressively releasing my hands close to impact in order to square the face. - Weight shift: I need to continue to focus on not letting my weight get to the outside of my right foot during my back swing. I need to focus on keeping my weight on the instep of my right foot as well as not get over my toes as I begin my downswing - Hip Rotation: I need to consistently rotate my hips on the downswing and not sway towards the target or thrust towards the ball. Hopefully working on all of these things, as well as anything else my instructor identifies, will help me become a more consistent ball striker. I look forward to keeping track of my lessons and practice sessions in this thread, complete with photo and video updates.

Really looking forward to seeing your progress here. You're definitely a better player than I am, but our swings share a lot of commonalities. I'm working on the exact same list of things. The bad wrist angles force a steep shaft/early extension for me. I mentioned in another thread using live video in my own practice, which is definitely helping. null, PMookie and GregB135 3 Quote TS3 9.5°, Tensei Blue CBX T3 15°, Project X HZRDUS Black Epic Super Hybrid 18°, Aerotech Steel Fiber FC HYB S C722 21°, Ventus Blue 8S CBX Iron-Wood 25°, Project X HZRDUS Black 6.0 639 CB, Aldila NV 95 Graphite, 6–PW CBX 48° T22 54° and 60° EAS 4.0, Garsen G-Pro grip TP5x and Tour Response Full WITB with pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMookie Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Joe, did he talk to you at all about being across the line at the top? Too steep on the downswing (above plane)? Then standing-up and arching your back at impact to create room for the steep angle coming-in to impact? Hitting against a firm left side, left leg straightening?

PMookie Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I’d be interested in hearing your coach’s take on how far you take the club past parallel at the top. More and more coaches are teaching a shortened swing, and a club that is more vertical, short of parallel. Might help get rid of the across the line, and help keep the angles of the wrists flat that you’re working-on.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro He doesn't care how far I take it back, just that it's my wrist extension and pronation that is giving me an illusion that I'm taking the club back further than I actually am. Once I fix the wrist angles, it should solve the across the line and apparent overswing issues Check out this video from Mark Crossfield on this exact subject.

GolfSpy MPR Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 @PMookie, I definitely want to hear @jlukes take on your questions, but there's always an interesting chicken-and-egg aspect to swing changes. Most "faults" are in some sense functional necessities: because you do swing fault X, you have to do swing fault Y or else you'd be entirely unable to play golf. For my part, I think the wrist angles issues are the solution both to the "across the line" and the "past parallel" concerns. If Joe flattens his lead wrist at the top of his swing, my hunch is that both of those other "faults" disappear. From a coaching perspective, I would assume that different people respond differently to instructions for fixing this problem. Tell one guy to stop going past parallel, and maybe he figures out his wrist angles. For me, it's going just the opposite. Not a right-and-wrong here: it's about finding out which path works best for each of us. Edit: Was typing exactly the same time Joe was typing his reply above. Glad to see we're on the same page. romeopapazulu, bens197, JohnSmalls and 1 other 4 Quote TS3 9.5°, Tensei Blue CBX T3 15°, Project X HZRDUS Black Epic Super Hybrid 18°, Aerotech Steel Fiber FC HYB S C722 21°, Ventus Blue 8S CBX Iron-Wood 25°, Project X HZRDUS Black 6.0 639 CB, Aldila NV 95 Graphite, 6–PW CBX 48° T22 54° and 60° EAS 4.0, Garsen G-Pro grip TP5x and Tour Response Full WITB with pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo. 1000% this. Don't treat the symptom, treat the disease. The disease for me is poor wrist angles and rotation/weight shift. My shaft can get steep or a can get flippy with the hands because I am putting myself in poor situations and the only way for me to make proper contact with the ball is to stand the shaft up and/or flip my hands ncwoz, JohnSmalls, PMookie and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjay0808 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Looking forward to seeing the progression of your swing. We can all speculate on what changes your coach will make with you. And truly that depends on the coaching style and philosophy. Look at someone like Mike Bender vs George Gankas, two very different styles and both have very good players learning under them. null 1 Quote In my bag: Driver: Rogue ST Triple Diamond LS 10.5* (set to 9.5) UST Lin-Q Gunmetal 6f5 Wood: Tsi2 15* Project X RDX Black 70 6.5 Hybrids: King Utility 19.5* Diamana Tensei White Pro 90TX Irons: Cobra King Tour MIM 4-PW Dynamic Gold 120 X100 Wedges: Milled Grind 3 50*, 54*, 58* Tour Issue S400 Putter: Nashville Z1C 34" Ball: Pro V1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMookie Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Not swaying, then not early extending, and getting the belt buckle to the target, with a high chest, has been the hardest for me to accomplish.

Keeping my weight centered through rotation and no getting out over my toes has always been a big challenge for me.My instructor has pressure mats that show foot pressure throughout the swing. When I first came to him I was 92% on my front foot at impact and my transfer happened through my right toes to my left foot. Not good! Quieted that down to closer to 80% left foot at impact but still working on not getting out over my toes! cksurfdude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chisag Posted January 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) ... I always told me students "NEVER listen to what anyone else has to say abut your swing or your lesson. And NEVER give anyone else advice that worked for you". A good instructor has a plan for your swing improvements and often that plan is based on what might seem like poor advice. It is not. There is a method to the madness. ... If you stop your swing when the shaft is at or just short of parallel you will see this is where your body rotation stops and the rest of the movement is arms/wrist related. As an instructor I need to find out if it is because the right arm is moving the wrists or the wrists moving the right arm? That question has already been answered by your instructor. It is easy to see the shaft is in a perfect position coming back down when it gets to the parallel position so I can see where your good timing days you are just killing it but on your bad timing days you can be inconsistent. Stay patient, which I am sure you will, and trust your instructor when it seems like you are taking some steps backwards. Which of course may or my not happen ... but usually does.
