I had an opportunity to look at a video of my swing the other day. I was aware that I stand up at impact but I didn't know how bad it is.

I am standing straight up just before impact with the ball. Are there any drills or such that I can work on to help me stay down through the shot? I feel myself doing it I just don't know how to correct it.

If you're standing up but still striking it well your clubs are just a bit long or the lie angle needs adjusting. If you are not hitting it well try and feel as though your knees and back are staying level and you are maintaing your posture right through the shot.

Or you're standing too close to the ball. Without seeing it, we'll never know - but there's more to it than "fix your clubs."

Callaway shipped my new irons back yesterday from being bent up 2*. I'm using my old Big Bertha irons right now so that may have something to do with it. I am consistantly striking the ball in the center of the club face so I think the length is good.

I'm guessing the best thing to do is practice...practice...practice once I get my irons this week.

My old martial arts instructor used to say that practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. You may be practicing a bad habit. You might want to consider visiting a pro for a lesson.

Alot of these questions are easy to answer. Simply dont do it.. There really isnt a logical answer to definatly fix it in my eyes. Just focus on not straighting on your swing, keep your knees bent, just think about not doing it. That should fix it.

Maybe this little tip might help that I've used for the longest time. Kick your butt out before your backswing, this usually straightens the back out. Its real easy to come up on it if you were too upright to begin with :)

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      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?
