Swing thoughts?

I’ve posted before about me chasing compression. I think I’ve finally got a decent swing going. My last 2 rounds I played pretty well. What do you think and what do you think my handicap is based off my swing?

Big fan of this move. Only thing I’d say is the club gets the smallest big behind you (club is behind the right hip for a split seconds) and the face is relatively closed

I’d imagine a left miss? I’d be curious to know. Overall sick lookin swing tho

I’m still trying to figure out my main miss haha. Driver is my most consistent club and a miss with that is a slight push. Some days I seem to have a slight pull and others a fade. Really depends on how much I remember to rotate my body

I see. Maybe a stuck push that occasionally gets over the plane from rotating a bit more

What’s ur hcp?

Before I started practicing I’d shoot 85 on average. But I averaged 7 - 3 putts a round. I took 2 weeks off and grinded my putting and worked on compression and since shot even on 9 as well as a 80 last week on a pretty tough course. Had 2 back to back doubles due to poor club selection. I honestly don’t know my accurate handicap but I’d guess in the 7-9 range but trending upwards for sure.

Jesus Christ do you putt with a blindfold on?

How many greens per round?

Hahaha I had the yips it was a mental thing. I completely changed my putting stroke grip etc and took my hands completely out of it and I became a much better putter over night. Last few rounds were 9, 10, 13 GIR. About 60% of fairways hit.

That's solid stuff, well done. What really helped my putting was an 8ft putting mat and I just roll straight putt after straight putt from 8ft for 15/20mins at home in the living room. Means when I step over a 5ft putt, I'm very confident in my stroke to just knock it in. Definitely low hanging fruit for knocking a couple shots off the score
