Posting these due to a strange and dissapointing 9 holes the other day.After playing very well for the last few weeks, it went missing on me.I was hitting pulls and the occasional fade, when my usual shot is a draw.I was especially wild off the tee.

Driver (Huge Pull) :




4 Iron (Nice fade, but unintentional..) :




My head is all over the place in the second video, and it feels like that happens on several shots during a round, and I'm not sure why.

Apologies the vids aren't embedded but if you take the time to have a look it'd be very much appreciated.

A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

On the 4i it's pretty obvious that you're losing your spine angle, and it looks like you're pushing your hips in towards the ball as you approach impact (which causes you to get more upright). Take a close look at the slide your hips thread...definitely don't want them spinning out or pushing in towards the ball.

Thanks for replying.I see what you mean about the hips, they do seem to take a push forward during the downswing.I don't think it's a common problem in my swing, although I do have that feeling of 'jumping' out the swing at impact a few times a round.I'll keep an eye on it.Any idea what caused the pull with the Driver?All I can see is that maybe I was coming too far from the inside?The pulls were common off the tee last time out, quite annoying.

A pull (shot that starts right of the target line in your case) is caused by an out to in swing path. If your swing is coming from the inside you can still hit a hook, but a classic pull is always the result of an over the top move. To combat the pulls I concentrate on almost feeling like my swing is two separate pieces, and that I want my shoulders to stay turned until my hips are well into their move. Sounds kinda weird I know, but works for me.

It's a nice swing you've got, a lot better than most of the people i play with.

with the 4i the club is aiming really far to the right, no wonder you cut across it.

Hmm.But that swing was anything but out to in?It was very much in to out, that's my swing.If you pause it a few frames before impact it almost looks (to me at least) like the clubhead's coming from too far inside maybe.I don't understand how that resulted in a pull though?

Thanks James.You're right about the 4iron, looks closed at address.Setup wasn't great with the Driver either, could probably work on that a bit.

    • Day 107 - More pitching practice, playing around with trajectory. 
    • Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

    • 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?

    • 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.
