Recently i have been pushing my irons recently about 10 yards on my mid iron shots here is my 7 iron, 185 yards with a 10-15 yard push. Am i moving my body too much on my swing or am i not clearing my hips too much or too little. Any help would be appreciated. There are two views in this video, If you stop it at the bottom of my down swing of my last shot ( between 1:06 and 1:07) is my shaft flexing too much? I am using a flighted X 6.5

Well there's some good things going on but it seems your hands and arms get too far out and disconnected from the body. Maybe bring them in more and stay more connected. I'm guessing when you miss its because hips and shoulders get out of sync a little.

I don't really think about those things when I swing, I feel like it should happen naturally. You have a good hip move IMO, and the arms should naturally come along for the ride. I would just focus on staying connected and in sync throughout the swing. Maybe ease up just a little for more consistency.

What is it with all the bad videos out here? Please, take some time to set up the camera properly.

The shaft flex is not real, it is a result of how the camera shoot the frames.

Bad video - hard to see anything.

What I see is:
- the head is moving back around impact
- the downswing is well under the shaft plane coming way from the inside
- when you are done you tend to fall to your backside

The rest is hard to see. Just a few questions for you - might be the ones to tackle to eliminate the push:

Why are you trying to hit the ball so overly from the inside? Tried getting the shaft on the downswing when it is parallel to the ground pointing to your target? Where does it point currently?

Where does your imbalance at the finish come from? Where is your weight at impact? Are you hanging back? Tried straightening the back leg for balance and getting your weight to the front foot?

I think your solution lies in the above answers...

PS: Do you have a overly strong grip to wrestle the push to just 15 yards (0:56), where a neutral grip would send it to 30+ yards?

That's a pretty darn good golf swing! Too good for poor quality video to pick up the faults...IMHO.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
