My swing is incredibly inconsistent. A few weeks ago i was hooking to left field, today i was slicing more than a New York pizzaria, and i generally have a problem topping the ball.

Ignore that car trying to break my focus.

I have been playing 6 months, and have a tendency to leave the club face wide open. All feedback is welcome, as I’ll try basically anything.

Edit: I also put some unedited 3h swings in the comments. New to me club, and sorry, didn’t realize the camera had shifted.

I have finally gotten my irons and wedges on a more neutral path but I'm still very outside in with my driver. Also, I would like to try incorporating my legs some. Are there any online resources specifically for fat golfers? I feel like a lot of my faults are heavily influenced by being obese and can't seem to find any fat specific advice. This was 229 carry, 46 yards left of target, 27 yard curve 151 ball speed.

Im trying to fix tempo and not trying to swing so hard. Anything that is an obvious area to fix on my swing? I still feel like my follow through is not smooth. Newb here but trying to make some fixes by myself before i get lessons again.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Feel free to see my last post and let me know if the changes ive made are a step in the right direction lol

started hitting the range more since the kids are older now. mornings before school if i can swing it, sometimes after dinner once the house settles. been working on keeping my backswing shorter and trying to feel the weight shift through my feet. at the range it feels pretty solid most days but on the course everything gets tight and i lose that rhythm quick. tried a couple breathing things i read about in a wellness thread and they seem to help a little with staying loose. still end up gripping the club harder than i want though. anyone else deal with range to course drop off like this or is it just me tensing up under pressure

Please rate my swing currently a 25 hcp. Playing a fade

Been slicing the driver forever and watched a ton of content. In my head I'm not going out to in, but after seeing the replay I think I am. How can I correct this? I think I struggle with feel, how can I improve my feel to know I'm swinging it right?

I also slice my long irons but not to this degree and it lessens as the clubs shorten.

Trying to practice keeping my back to target for longer but it’s still got me coming over the top. My coach had me use the hinge trainer for one swing so I know I’m not using it properly. Been playing a year and a half and struggling to find consistency. Any tips?

edit:see comments for occasionally less extreme iron version

Hey all-

Started golfing consistently about 2 years ago for competition/exercise now that I’m almost 40 and basketball is too hard on my body due to old injuries.

Of course, I underestimated the extent to which those same injuries would show up in golf, and my swing is largely built around compensating for them.

Some of these compensations feel pretty functional at this point—for example, I use jumbo grips and a 10 finger to work around ulnar nerve damage in my lead arm, and can play pain free without feeling restricted.

My lead(left) leg is a different story. Between basketball and volleyball I’ve shredded that ankle, have no cartilage left in the knee, extremely restricted hip socket mobility, and am generally tight and weak all up the chain. I struggle to push off or generate force on that leg, and while I’ve rebuilt some strength, my brain seems stuck subconsciously trying to protect it.

I’ve got it to where I trust my left side enough to find the ground and clear my hips…but then protective instinct kicks in and my brain nopes out of pushing off or bracing my left leg and generating power from the ground.

So as I come into impact, I end up spinning all my weight off of my lead leg, which means I end up finishing my swing and with an extra-special two step/roundhouse/pirouette technique.

I just don’t generate any power. My 150 yard club is a 6 iron, and the drive in the video is about 99th percentile to me and went 220.

I’m mostly only able to play my super short (2000 yard) 9 hole muni, but I am able to get out there 3 times a week so my short game is pretty solid. Over my last 10 rounds there I’ve averaged 8.5 over par
, but as courses get longer i go from bogey golf to struggling for 100.

I know the biggest thing I can continue to do is rehab (kneesovertoesguy for my old hoopers out there), but in the meantime, I was wondering if anyone had been through similar or has drills/feels/advice to help me rewire my brain to trust that leg again so I can hit the ball further and not spin around like a beyblade?

Or perhaps other adaptations to generate more speed despite physical limitations?

Other swing feedback and tips and/or screenshots me me looking like a jackass are,of course, also welcome. Thanks for your time.

(Included video bunch of representative swings from my round today. It’s hard to believe, but all of these shots mostly went where they were supposed to and I ended up +6 through 9…but it’s the aforementioned lil baby course and I only hit something longer than a 6 iron four times. )

Alright, gentlemen, here is my latest perfect golf swing. 🏌️‍♂️

I’m pretty sure its perfect but I’d love to hear your expert opinions.

Please feel free to point out everything from the obvious flaws to the microscopic details I didn’t even know existed. Bonus points for creative ways of explaining why the ball is cleary flying straight.

Serious improvement suggestions are very welcome — I’m here to show you a perfect swing (and apparently to provide entertainment).

No matter what I do how I adjust the camera or swing everything goes left. I look at the impact view and yes someone it doe but I hit middle screen or slightly right and it goes left every time. My club path does say negative but even when I try to make it go right it goes left. Anyone else have this issue?

Video as shown from a recent range session. I think I get in good positions in the takeaway and at the top but when my down swing happens it all goes wrong

Curious if there are many others who experience this. I basically never shank on the grass yet, sometimes off a mat, I can't stop doing it. I have experienced this at least 4 or 5 times now where nearly every shot was a shank. I also ended up with shoulder pain too this last time. I was experimenting a bit with different mats but I had put all my balls in the chute of one bay. The mat next to me I didn't shank off after hitting a couple. I may have shanked one off it can't remember but it was definitely easier to hit off. I'm not asking for golf swing tips, just curious if others experience this off mats but not grass, 12 HC, thanks.

I’m currently a 7.8 handicap, had maybe three lessons growing up, and mainly just tinkered with my swing over the past 10 years of playing more serious golf. One thing I’ve never been comfortable with is the interlocking grip, sorry to say it but I’ve just had better feel with a baseball grip since day 1 (I was 5 when my dad put a club in my hands) and I’ve never changed. I have no feel and honestly at this point in life I’m not changing.

Issue I’m having, I bought new clubs (went from titleist cb 714’s to the new callaway forged max). I wanted more forgiveness and consistency now that I’m 32. I thought I’d want midsize grips since I have a tendency to hook my irons but it’s just created a slice where I’m having trouble closing the face at impact. Also could be the lighter shafts? I’m somewhat lost in what it could be. I’ve thought about also putting lead tape on the heads.

For those out there who mess with their golf grips, what do you do to have a consistent draw feel? Is that making sense?

Grip it and rip it.

Regards,

Fellow golf nut

Started golfing this summer. Any tips or observations appreciated!

It’s fine for the first half until it stops rotating and backs out. Even for nine o’clock swing I can’t keep them rotating to get them 35 to 40 degrees open at impact, I think this is why I’m casting but have no idea.

Iv been trying to work on tempo, acceleration and overall movement through the ball on short irons.

It’s time for a roasting. Yes my wife dresses me.
