I've been Playing Golf for: 5 Years

My current handicap index or average score is: Low-Mid 70s

My typical ball flight is: High Draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Pull Hook, Push

7 Iron

54* Sand Wedge

I finally got out to the range.  My front foot doesn't usually spin out that much, it was a little damp.  Both of these shots were high push draws.  I'm excited for any and all responses, good or bad.  Let me know what yall think!

Sorry about the quality of the video.  I was kind of in a hurry hence why it is not exactly down the line.

I have been working on shortening my back swing and swinging a little flatter.  Any suggestions to make this transition go faster and more smoothly would be appreciated. Also, please point out any flaws you may see.

I am recently having issues with inconsistent contact.   I am working on shortening my backswing but this is still a work in progress.  Could someone please help me out?

Yeah the video is from an Iphone and I don't know how to upload the slow mo video that I have.  In slow mo I noticed that I am casting the club which I think is a result of my swing backswing way too long.  When I was striking the ball well I always took a divot.  Now I am hitting the ball thin, fat and yes I am picking the ball as well.  Just super inconsistent.

First time to the range in a long time.  I haven't played a round in a bout 2 months.  It was nice just to get out there and go.  Anyways, was mostly hitting push draw/hook but I did hit a few pull draws/hooks.  Any and all advice welcome.

This angle makes it difficult to get good analysis. I would recommend getting an inexpensive tripod and keep it in your car so you can get better video angles.

FWIW, you appear to be swinging out of your shoes in these swings. One drill that I do, and video, is do three swings, one at 50%, one at 70% and the last my normal full speed. Then look at the differences. For me, my full swing looked different because I was changing my sequence. I had to work on that for a while.

Thanks for the feedback.  Yeah my camera angle sucks, a tripod is on the way.  

I have always struggled with staying balanced through out my swing but these are typical swings for me.  I don't know if my lead foot is spinning out too much, if its a swaying issue or over swinging a bit.  The longer the club, the less balanced I seem to be.  Thanks for the drill I will definitely try it!

Hitting the TS2.  It's been a few years since I've been on simulator/monitor.  One big thing I noticed is my clubhead speed was down about 4 mph from 111 to 107 from a few years ago.

I'm not sure the specific reason for that but I'm down to playing about once a month vs. once to twice a week, plus I've put on some weight in the last few years lol

Anyways, I know the angle is not great, but all insight is welcome!

      Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.
