i really like that swing plane. definitely not over the top. i'd steepen out that downswing and stay into the shot a little bit longer. on the downswing, keep the box that your forearm, club, and upper arm make at the top and come down at the ball with it. it will require you to turn your hips a bit faster, but you will retain more lag and your shots will fly lower, straighter, and have more spin.

my good friend ernie explains this quite well.

My thoughts:

- Keep the left arm straighter, especially at the top, it looks like it's collapsing some. This should help to move the hands away from your head and even with or just outside your right shoulder at the top.
- I'm not sure if it's because you're swinging short irons, but eventually you're going to want to build up some speed. You're kind of guiding the club down (understandable if you haven't been playing golf long). A proper 3/4 shot would be a shorter backswing, but with similar acceleration to a full shot.
- Do you have a front view video?

It's a pretty simple problem here that I see. The club is up above your shoulder at the top of the backswing, not behind it. From that position, it's hard to come from the inside. Even though this is a short club, it is still a bit high above the head. The sand wedge actually looks better, which is unusual considering it should be higher.

Because I'm so inflexible, I had trouble getting the club behind me as much as I should. This shows the top of my backswing 3 months ago, and today. You can see the quite clearly. I could only get it flatter by making it shorter. I didn't lose much, if any distance, but difference I gained an incredible amount of control.


I also notice the ball compresses much, much better with a flatter swing. That's what you need to work on, quite simple really. Get the club behind you, not above you.

+1 to shanks. That's the main fault I see too. What might be causing you to swing so upright is your cramped setup. Your arms are not hanging down straight from your shoulders, they are rested against your body. I'll use myself as a model.

Right picture before, left picture after. See my spacing in the picture on the left? That's the type of setup posture I think would help you with your plane (and get more control and power). You seem like my setup on the right, all cramped up. This lead to disastrous problems for me. Good luck!

Not to get off-topic, but dude, you're not inflexible. If you can achieve the positions in the pictures you posted, you don't get to complain about flexibility. You've got plenty. Maybe not Anthony Kim level, but plenty.

To the OP, I agree about the setup changes. Straighten your knees a bit more and look at the ball through the center of your eyes by letting your chin sag a bit. Too many golfers look at the ball out of the bottom of their eyes because of the old (stupid) advice to keep your chin up.

Also kept my arms hanging down instead of out because if I had it out, i feel my arms would come inside more causing me to come over the ball

which was shown from my previous vids. After doing this type of swing, i noticed to slice more. Where my right elbow would tuck inside causing my club to come more inside and out. Also, trying to flatten out my swing more any tips?

Whats in the Four 5?

Too many golfers look at the ball out of the bottom of their eyes because of the old (stupid) advice to keep your chin up.

Not keeping the chin up is some good advice, I've been working on that a lot lately and I've seen some good results.

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
