bump

Yes i do take large divots with my short irons and wedges

For me it starts right then draws further right, I wouldnt call it a hook, its more of a pull that draws 5 meters

ill show you a message i received from a golf pro in Australia,heres what he said... You have some potential although my concerns are the excessive lateral bending of the upper body on your downswing is going to cause you back injuries in the future. This is also causing your mechanical issues.

The Excessive bending is what us causing your draws and bad shot is a hook , other miss is a push slice. I’ll explain in full why.

If you slow mo your swing, take very close notice to your right foot. The heel is of the ground at impact and your foot loses connection with the ground during your swing. What happens is you spin and slide your hips, this is contributing to your the excessing left lateral bending (Side bending).

On your downswing you go into excessive left bending, this move causes the club to drop way inside behind you.(Have a look in slow mo you can see right elbow behind right hip pocket).This move also causes you to get very STEEP. (this also contributes to the lower body issues above). Your path would be too far inside to out.

In addition what also happens from excessive bending is it causes the spine to kink or the facets lock. (To understand what I’m saying, Stand up now side bend left for me. Now try and rotate to your right see how you can’t rotate yeah?.) When you spine locks from bending it cause the upper body to slow down too early in your downswing. To compensate your arms accelerate and start Rotating to early.(Path to far inside to out, Your face is closed to your path Walla there is your draw or at times a hook.
To fight a hook you then have to pull on the handle try hold the face open, you do this, to try and match the club face to your path, at times you can over cook it, open the face too much and hit push slices.

A suggesting work on turning your shoulders more perpendicular to your spine. To you it will feel over the top big time, I guarantee you won’t be. By doing this it with improve your path significantly and stop you getting steep.
Also I would hit hundreds of balls out of the bunker. (full shots). Screw your feet into the sand to get traction. This will help your connect with the ground and improve your lower body action.

To be totally honest it’s a break down in your coordination patterns it’s more a biomechanical break down than a mechanical breakdown. The break down in your biomechanics is causing the mechanical issues. You really want to fix this problem proerly you need to train your biomechanics or coordination patterns if you want to step up to the next level.

Haven't been on for a while, but thanks for the tips iacas!
