I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year
My current handicap index or average score is: 12
My typical ball flight is: Pulls with irons, fade/slice with woods/driver
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Pulls and Slices or the pop up with driver. Coming into impact with open club face

 

I have been trying to stop coming over the top for over a year now and working on a lot of different feels to stop this. My focus right now is trying to lay the shaft behind me in transition (shallowing) but it almost always results with a fat shot well behind the ball. I have also tried leaning the shaft forward at address and closing shoulders to set the swing plane more right to stop pulling but this is not bullet proof and just feels weird. I also work on closing the club face sooner in the downswing as I tend to come into impact open but this pulls the shot even more instead of draw it. I tend to take steep big divots and again trying to shallow the angle of attack out but i am at a lost of what in my swing is causing my issues. Sometimes i can really hit the ball well on the range and get that nice draw but I really dont know how to repeat it. Hoping for some priorities to work on from the group as I have so many swing thoughts right now!

ONLY playing for 1 year with that swing? You have great flexibility, posture, and power. Not sure where that ball ended up, but looks like you smashed it pretty well. 

Struggling with too many swing thoughts? Me too. What helped me was George Gankas. He has a great instagram page for reference and an online program. His method simplifies the backswing and the downswing into two thoughts.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • 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.
