I've been Playing Golf for: 2 1/2 years (25-30 games)

My current handicap index or average score is: on par 61 last 3 outings: 84, 80, 79. Par 72: 105, 100

My typical ball flight is: high

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: reduce thin shots


Videos:

I then noticed that my swing plane was too high, so i watched some videos and this was me just going a bit slower getting a little video to see if the takeaway was on a better plane.

ive been told that my body races faster than my hands, im not sure what that means. this is with a 5 iron, using practice balls. i have driver videos on my youtube page but im not posting them because they are from a year ago and ive been making a lot of little tweaks since then so i just want to concentrate on what i have here.

Some additional notes: I'm 6'5", i usually have no issue getting the ball very high. The purpose of me going crazy with training myself today is because ive come to find out im not  compressing the ball properly on contact so, here i am. Lastly, my clubs are short. i bought them off CL cheap when i started playing and i havent gotten them lengthened. so im doing the best i can with my setup.

Perfect videos for you to check out. Your hips "slide" to your right on the backswing, here's what I recommend you do. Will make the backswing and downswing pieces A LOT easier.

Thank you thank you.

im actually starting over by going through this video step by step:

someone on another forum said my grip was bad so im starting to work on that. my plane was also too high so ive been working on that, and someone said im too aggressive with my hips and that may be because i try and play chase because they sway back. i plan on posting videos tomorrow or friday since im going to head to the range

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.
    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs. 
    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
    • Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.
