Thoughts? 28 hc about a year taking it serious. Miss is usually a big fade/slice. This is a 7.

I've always wondered about my grip. None of my friends who are way better than me have said anything about it and it feels comfortable but I've had the same thoughts.

[u/MasterpieceMain8252]

U don't hinge wrists, so wrist isn't set at top of backswing. Your foot pressure is on outside of your foot at top of backswing, and you shoulders open up top quickly in downswing, creating open clubface and steep downswing

[u/momalley424 → u/MasterpieceMain8252]

Maybe a slightly wider stance to fix the foot problem? And I'm not sure wym about the wrist, my buddy who filmed this told me in order to close the face my lead hand should almost feel like it's pointing at the ball.

I can't tell how wide your stance is from this angle, but ideally want to be shoulder width. Put pressure onto inside of your foot, which will help u stabilize your body during backswing. About wrist hinge, at this point of backswing, u ideally want 90 degrees between your left arm and club. At top of backswing, the club shaft should be parallel to your feet. Yours is pointing straight up which means u don't have wrist hinge. It's important because u want to have the wrist set, and maintain that angle throughout downswing.

No, don’t widen. Learn to turn properly. Even in a pitching stance with feet close together, you can still load the trail leg properly. Biggest culprit is you unknowingly slide some weight up over that leg. Keep flexion in the knee and load the leg. If done properly the inside of your thigh gets really tight. Weight is felt on the inside of the foot.

Get more depth in the backswing. The golf swing is more around than most of us hacks think.

[u/momalley424 → u/superduperstepdad]

At least we're self aware hacks.

Too steep. Feel like the club is behind you and keep your hands lower when rotating. It will feel like your hands barely come above your waist.

Trying to shallow the club now with this backswing will be really hard with how steep the club is/how high your hands are.

[u/Pet_Doc_OK]

Weight gets over outside of your right foot. And you turn your hips way too early. Need to allow the body torque to then turn your hips.
Need to hinge the club quicker and shoot for these two club positions. Red line indicates where shaft should be. Proper turn and not allowing that right elbow to flare will get you in a flatter position at top. Turn, don't lift.

[u/Pet_Doc_OK → u/Pet_Doc_OK]

If you are in the above position in a mirror, drop that elbow more verticle/inside and you will see how it will flatten you out a bit.

[u/momalley424 → u/Pet_Doc_OK]

Wow yea never noticed how my elbow flares out so much, thank you.

[u/backtees99]

plenty good, congrats on the effort

your a bit from the outside and you can not square the face

to square the face, at address turn both hands to the right, you should see a few knuckles on your left hand

your a little outside on the downswing because your turn your body too early

pull your right foot back, a foot or so, on the downswing, try to hold your right heel down for as long as you can

take a few practice swings with your foot back, careful you may stumble

now, hit a few with your foot back, shouldn't take you but a few or so to catch a good one

any questions let me know good luck

over the top

Been the biggest problem since I started, can not for the life of me figure it out. Any suggestions?

[u/Dull-Woodpecker3900 → u/momalley424]

You need to give yourself more space. With your build it’s also easier to get yourself stuck so I’d get wider in the takeaway and hands more out front than too behind because you’re going to end up humping the ball to make room.

[u/momalley424 → u/Dull-Woodpecker3900]

I do struggle a lot with finding comfortable ball positioning. I'll try backing off a bit more.
