My Swing (rehmwa)

I've been Playing Golf for:​   1 year (but I played a ton as a teenager - 25 years ago)

My current handicap index or average score is:  11

My typical ball flight is:  slight fade on woods and long irons, straight on 6i and shorter

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is:  would like to take divots = cleaner contact.  would like to turn that slight fade into a slight draw = they go farther.

I'm pretty much self taught and plan on lessons soon.  Been working on more of a turn on the backswing to load up more.  Working on releasing my wrist turn a bit later but harder - for head speed.  Seems to be working, but, of course, that means my timing needs to be better for control.  So more turn, more snap.

Three typical hits here only.  It's a 6i or 7i.  Seems that I'm moving forward ok, but it's an afterthought and needs to happen with the swing more - I believe that will help me hit down through the ball and not flat through.....  Minimal reverse C - I'm ok with that.

Apparently, the video takes a bit to load.  recommend letting it load and then hitting play after a few seconds.

Videos:  

yup - that's one of my comments.  A drill is exactly what I need to put it in place and this good thread has two drills for weight forward.  I like the first one - essentially....if you want to get weight forward, PRACTICE getting weight forward.  THANKS - I didn't know that that the transfer was that much (80-90% on finish).  It's like I'm getting permission to do what seemed right.  I'll try it and see how it goes.  (maybe throw some talc on the turf to track my contact and sweep.

I also wonder if maybe I could initiate more and more with my legs and hips so that the start of the swing is less arms - then my upper body rotation is an effect,,,,not the cause of the swing.  i.e., first little bit of the swing up top can be a bit slower/smoother, it'll catch up just fine on its own.  That would help me get my center moving forward better (rather than the trade off of upper vs lower hindering that weight transfer.)

So a couple lessons later, the weight transfer is MUCH better.  (Gary Player drill, starting with my setup weight back, just plain thinking about it and correcting)

Some Trackman time (i like it a lot) - numbers look really good and on a good day I can induce fade and draw, etc etc just with minor tweaks to my set up.

I've decided I'm happy with positive swing path (around +2-3), and slightly positive face angle (+1.0 or so) - that's a good ball flight.  The other metrics aren't a surprise also.

I'm nailing the swing path pretty consistently.

When I'm missing, though, it's pretty much getting the face angle to dial in.....too much variation vs what I would find acceptable....

Can anyone recommend drills to tighten my face angle (at impact) control?  as far as full swing mechanics, this is my biggest bang for the buck.

(plan to post updated vid at some point, but this is a pretty specific need).
