So this is my swing with a driver.
Driver set up is as follows
Cleveland Launcher 9* Graffaloy Comp NT 65g X Measured at 45 3/4"

Can't seem to figure out why everything goes right. Its not a slice but more of a push.



This is four swings. 3 went right about 20 to 30 yards off of center. One went left about 15 yards of center. sorry about the view. I can't seem to figure out how to rotate the video

The club's on a pretty good plane. I'm guessing your misses probably have something to do with a weight shift problem or flipping, but I have no way of knowing for sure without a side view.

It just looks like you're laying off a bit, try finishing with more weight on your left side...your stance is a bit narrow...

take a look at your back the number you have on it shows throughout the swing which means your shoulders are not square at address

bring your left shoulder in by laying a club shaft across both shoulders to aligen them with your feet and hips

The only thing I can say is I think your hips are holding back a bit and not coming through which might be causing the push. I can't imagine a swing like that belonging to a 23 handicap. We should switch swings and that will correlate our handicaps better. I'm jealous.

Thanks. Part of the 23 handicap is mainly poor course management and putting skills.

Know any drills to help me get my hips involved more. I have the same problem in softball and baseball and i think it causes me to lose a lot of power.

Where you fitted for your driver? Is the x flex not too strong? You have a nice swing and tempo but I am not sure from these videos if it is x flex fast.

shoulders look better if you notice on your take away your hands move first then the shoulders

hands and shoulders should move as one unit which will allow you a wider shoulder turn

when your hands are belt high your shoulders should be almost 90 degrees (your back facing the ball)

DRILL put both hands together in front of you as if your swinging a club keeping your hips still rotate your arms

you will notice how much your shoulders will turn

No I was not fitted. The main reason I use an X flex is cause everything else feels to whippy. I like to have that feeling if i decide to reach back and power something the heads not gonna snap off cause i made the shaft look like a fishing pole with a huge catch on the line. That and i also read that using a stiffer flex will help with dispersion and accuracy.

    • 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?
