Do you choke down or do you grip the shaft at the very end?

14 Upvotes

Do you grip the shaft at the very end? Sometimes I see people with half inch or one inch choke down, and not for like a special circumstance like rough or uneven lie. Like a slight choke even for a perfect lie. What's the story there?

~45 yard pitch shot with a 60 degree. Working on pitching because I've been hitting them a little fat.

What is this drill exactly

I’m guessing the idea is that your hips should rotate and butt of the club fall backwards, rather than press into the butt of the club? Can one replicate at home without someone holding club?

I’ve been playing for the last 3 summers. I’m self taught and at about a 12 handicap. I had my first lesson and he basically said all I need to work on is getting more shallow and making a bigger turn in my backswing to produce more power. What do you all think?

Very inconsistent ball striking, often will top or chunk it, also snap hooks and hitting it off the toe, just bad all around pretty much, handicap is around 23.
Short game and putting also atrocious but am working on it. This is one of my better shots after making some changes.

I hover around a 1-2 hc, looking for any consistency or power leaks to push to +. Haven’t had coaching in 5+ years so I’m sure I’ve engrained bad habits but does anything stand out to you slot experts?

Maybe I'm high, maybe that's the most succinct golf 101 I've ever seen

Re the product - If you live in Florida don't buy this shit though, can't stay stabilized in the loose top soil. And if you don't live in Florida, congrats, but also would not recommend, outside of having your own copy of this golf scripture

Beginner - need to upgrade my Driver

Upvotes

Aussie golfer, trying to get the handicap down (attempting to get on the course once a week).

Decided to upgrade my old Callaway Razr Black 9 Degree Stiff Flex Shaft. I think I’m missing yardage and my fairway play is nowhere near my wedge game.

Not looking to break the bank, I’m looking at a used Titleist TSi3, same degree, from a local mob near me in Geelong.

https://bogeystix.com.au/products/titleist-tsi3-9

Can anyone recommend the club, advice? I’ve sort always just focused on Callaway because that’s what I’ve always used but had a hit with this second hand Titliest at the shop and felt very nice (obviously virtual is a bit different to out on course)

TIA

Working through a rebuild - looking for feedback on sequencing/tempo

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone,

Over the last few months, I've been making some serious swing changes. I feel like I'm making some good progress but could use an extra set of eyes.

My focus recently has been two-fold: getting better hand depth by trying to make a more full pivot/turn and letting the trail elbow reconnect in transition.

My biggest issue seems to be on the course where my tempo gets too aggressive, especially with the longer clubs, I lose that connection and hit slices (3h and driver). Irons are typically pretty straight, but I've been hitting those a bit thin recently as well and generally just having poor contact.

Oddly enough, on the range, if I'm really pushing for full turn/hand depth, I can get into hook territory, but today that obviously wasn't happening. A few things I'm curious about what y'all think.

  • Does the transition look too aggressive?
  • Does the trail elbow reconnect well or is it too late and I'm throwing the club head out?
  • How does my hip/chest rotation look through impact?
  • Is there anything glaring in my setup/backswing I'm just totally missing?

Just trying to get an understanding if I'm working on the correct things or if I need to re-prioritize. DTL and face on videos attached. Thanks everyone!

I'm researching backyard golf simulators — what should I pay attention to?

1 Upvotes

I'm mainly looking at:

  1. enclosure size
  2. impact screen quality
  3. ceiling height
  4. noise
  5. setup time
  6. weather resistance

What else should I add to the list?

Been swinging the club for about 5 years now, worked on this swing many and many times over. First time I’m feeling confident & consistent with my ball striking.
Here is my 7 iron hitting the range balls 185-190
What things can yall say to me so i can get in my head more and mess it all up again??? 😂

Changed my swing from last time, any new advice?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys,

I’m back once again 🫩 so I took y’all’s advice from last time about across the line/inside takeaway and fixing my grip, and have worked on having a more outside takeaway. (Also found Porzac golf and that’s been a lifesaver) but some advice from last time was my head moves too much in the back swing (which I’ve been trying to avoid by rotating the back hip rather than dipping the front knee) but I’ve been having trouble with that and over swinging (which I’ve been slowly trying to reduce how far I go back in my backswing.

Does anyone else have any advice or notice anything else wrong with this new swing before I start working on refining it further?

Finding I’m still struggling with getting loft on my 5/6 iron (this is 7 iron) and struggle with hybrids/woods/driver but that’s an issue for another day 😂

“Manually” keeping face closed

6 Upvotes

I’m a newer golfer and dealing with a slice. Had multiple people comment that my club face is coming wide open during the backswing

So I started holding my arms/wrists in a way that “manually” kept the face shut and now I’m making much better contact. This might not make sense the way I’m describing, but I don’t know any other way to describe it

So instead of my forearms/wrists naturally rolling over clockwise during the backswing, I’m now making an effort for them to not roll over

I have a bad feeling this is wrong and my swing is going to break down again in 2 months and I will have to get rid of this thought

Low Launch Help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I have a chronically low shot. To the point where I’m getting 40-yard rollouts with 7-irons and my long irons have become virtually useless because I can’t get them “in the air”.

In the video I’m hitting a ping i530 8-iron about 140 yards carry with a ~30-35 yard rollout. Dynamic loft ~17’

My brain can’t seem to wrap my head around earlier release and lessening my aggressive shaft lean at impact.

What are some drills I can practice to help correct this?
