Hello and welcome to TST.

Here you will find the Five Simple Keys. These Keys are what every great golfer has in common. Trying to teach yourself can be a very difficult journey. But this offers good guidance on where to begin. I recommend you post a video in the ‘My Swing’ thread here and many good instructors will offer you advice for free.

You need to find your ‘priority piece.’ One fundamental to execute properly then move on to the next. Film your swing (your phone will do just fine)...upload your swing to YouTube then copy the url to your My Swing page and it can be viewed by us. 

We can get you started in the right direction but we really need to see your swing before giving any sound advice. Until then the link I sent above would be excellent for you to check out. Cheers!

Enjoy your round. One swing is fine. Why? Your swing will be the same whether you hit a good shot or not. I know that seems illogical but it’s most likely true! Good luck on your round!

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
