Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to help out with my swing, I appreciate any advice as it's been a frustrating year. A little background, I have been working on rebuilding my swing this year after struggling with reverse pivot issues for years. I still have trouble feeling that transfer to the back foot at times, and I tend to think way too much about the right leg action on my back swing and down swing, I think it causes me to choke up a little on the tee box and especially with my longer clubs. I actually just started hitting playable drives about two weeks ago after struggling with terrible tops, duck hooks, and huge divots after the ball making a lot of embarassing rounds and first tees. I was playing with just a driving iron for awhile because the woods and utilities were so bad, but I started keeping my lower body much more quiet and it seemed to help with making contact and I'm hitting some occasionally great shots with those clubs now. All in all though, I'm incredibly inconsistent with the long clubs right now. At the range I am consistent but it's easier there, and I definitely have a lot more misses with my irons since rebuilding things. The most frustrating thing of all this is I know I can play good rounds, I've carded a high 70s round and a lot of low 80s, but I'm so inconsistent right now I've been between 90 and 105 the last 5-6 rounds when I should be in the low 90s at the most with how much I practice and play, and how long I've been playing.
The third iron swing shows my swing about 2 months ago before I started working heavily on weight transfer and impact position. But it seems like all those things I tried to piece together left me with more inconsistencies, although I've hit some really excellent shots I would not have before. At the range I can get the feel of a great shot, but repeating it seems to just come and go even out there. I can't put the swing thoughts together for consistency and I think that's a big issue a long with quite a bit of mechanical things I bet too.
