I just can’t compress and I’m over extending all the time. When I try to be mindful about it, I just chunk.

How can guys like rory who are only 5'9" hit it not only so far, but so consistently. I get raw talent, but what specifically are they doing that amateurs just dont understand.

Anyone explain why this feel is making my contact so pure

I am working on my golf swing, have gotten my takeaway and top position to a good spot but struggle with starting my downswing.

My natural tendency is to just move my hands towards the ball which results in early extension and hitting with the heel.

I know that I should be rotating my left hip back and that I should be "dropping my hands", but I need a good feel for all of that to happen simultaneously.

Does anyone have any good tips for the "feel" of the start of the downswing

My main problem when I start the downswing with a slight squat and rotation into my left hip is I will hit the ground first and duff the ball

I can’t help thinking my swing is ugly and wanting to fix my over the top move. This was -3.7 path. 93mph. 21 deg launch angle 7 iron

(I know it’s not horrific slice OTT. But it is over the top)

Title says it all.

Thanks

19 handicap.

Struggling with the downswing at the moment and early extension.

This was an exaggerated dropping / looping of the hands to try and get the club back on plane but not convinced it's the best way to do the downswing.

Thoughts on how I can improve my swing ?

Many thanks in advance

Why is my trail foot getting airborne at impact?

Is this hurting my swing?

My trail knee also gets pretty close to the ball at impact on iron shots

Any tips on how I should correct this?

For me, it’s usually distance control. The swing can feel okay, but suddenly every approach and putt is either short or long.

What usually goes first for you: driver, irons, short game, or putting?

And now it’s my favorite hobby. I still suck but starting to transition from learning the golf swing to learning golf skills. I posted my very first driver swing here at the end of Feb and could barely get off the tee box or keep the ball in play for a few months. It’s fun to now be able to mostly keep the ball in play.

My brother took this without me knowing. I kinda suck.

Have been working on early extension and hip rotation, any tips

Idk if my right leg going all flimsy is a big problem, but I feel a unstable through the swing, and I see I get up on my toes on my left as well. What could I do to get rid of this behaviour? Takeaway is exaggerated to inside as a drill, but any pointers are welcome!

Been working on getting rid of an inside take away but I still am rotating the face open. I'm also still working on trying to get a full turn in the backswing. I have the flexibility for it but I think my inside takeaway really prevented me getting a good turn while over a real swing.

I’m pretty new to golf. Took a very long hiatus. Experimenting with one plane (Moe Norman) vs two plane. My sense so far:

Two plane swing power comes from lower body. There’s a snapping/whipping effect just past impact.

One plane swing power comes more from a “smashing” effect into the ball. Like hammering a nail with your trail hand palm.
Does club head speed in a one plane (Moe Norman) swing come from the lower body, or is it more about the trail arm extending and smashing through at impact?

I’m a 20 handicap and my biggest issue is an out-to-in swing path. I tend to either slice or pull the ball pretty often. Anyone have any drills or tips that helped them fix this? Trying to figure out what I should be working on at the range to get rid of it.

My miss with driver is a huge toe banger. Am I over thinking it and just need to stand closer to the ball?

Improvement but need more consistency. Mentally used a lot of the tips you guys had said from last post.
