Two older swings and a newer face on swing.  Lots of thin and fat contact.  Help!

There's a few issues there, some things to work on:

The most obvious flaw there is that you're starting the downswing by throwing the club at the ball, and coming over the top. You'll notice that all good players start their downswing by first moving their hips towards the target, then turning them and allowing the arms and hands to follow, coming more from the inside. Your head is also moving toward the target quite noticably on the downswing, you should try to keep it centered over the ball. There's also flipping at impact as you're losing the angle between the shaft and your arms on the way down. You should feel like your hands are way ahead of the clubhead at impact.

Just a few things that I see at least. Some of the head honchos here should be able to give you better/more detailed advice.

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.

I practiced these things today... and I noticed two things immediately... more piercing, longer ball flight, and I could see the ball the whole time because I didn't overdo the backswing quite as badly. I also tried to keep the takeaway more square to the plane... and this paid huge dividends with the woods. Finally figured out why those clubs have given me weak pushes... now they start straight! Woohoo!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
