Need Swing Help


Recommended Posts

I am completely lost in the swing. I have a pull or pull draw. I have no compression, and hit my balls high with no distance.

 

Attached are  videos. I will post two more below.

 

I have been working on not rolling the club inside on the Backswing. I used to really roll inside and get stuck.

 

I am also working on not flipping the club. I have been unsuccessful at this. I don't understand what I need to do.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

I am looking for concepts or drills that will help.

I'm going to add something to my signature…

 

From there… given what little I have here… I'd have to conduct some triage knowing the history, etc.

Those would, IMO, warrant the first looks. The elbow/arm stuff at the top is probably not what you'd address first.

Thank you. I see I need to work on that. I will go to range today and post some videos of DTL and face on.

Work on what?

 

I would expect what I linked to first: good slow-mo video from both camera angles as well as a description of what you're doing. A brief history of what you've been trying to do or have worked on lately is helpful too.

 

THEN you can begin really looking at things and finding both what you need to do immediately to get back to playing at least acceptable golf, and your long-term bigger priority item. If you're lucky, they're the same thing. 😄

I have edited the initial post and added both views. I also added two more swings. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

This is a good example of why we need both views. 🙂

 

I'd first fix this (your grip):

Then I'd fix this:

You stay flexed over your right hip entirely too much - your head goes down and back a good amount. You nee to feel much more extension of the back, more stretching of the right side of your body up and back/away. Axis tilt should stay close to 90° most of the backswing and early into the downswing. You're making it incredibly tough on yourself to deliver any kind of solid impact.

I said in another thread good instructors often have different opinions.  Not in this case.

All "tips" are welcome. Instruction not desired.

thank you. 

 

For fix the grip, what is wrong? Too weak?

 

I understand the second tip. I will work on extension/stretching of right side.

It's well across the palm. Comes out way too close to the wrist.
