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.

    • You need to stick with one instructor as long as they’re not terrible. There’s no blueprint to improving a golf swing and different instructors may see different things as being more important and try to fix them. The end result is you get a hodge podge of things to work in that may not be cohesive or necessarily help you. If you stick to one instructor and communicate to them as such, they’ll also be able to work out a roadmap to your improvement which is more beneficial in the long run. If a guy assumes you’re just coming in for one lesson you might end up with a band aid.

    • Many thanks.  I read a lot of those posts.   Man, that is really deep.  As an old beginner, during a lesson or on the driving range, I have hit a good shot, you know pretty straight and it goes say 130 yards (7 iron).  The very next swing, I dig a ditch behind the ball.  I know I didn't do the same things on both swings.  Even this last lesson I had, I would hit a pretty good shot, not so on the next shot.  The instructor would quickly point out, "Hey you stayed on your back foot" or "Guess what happened there.  You got all armsy or handsy".  Sort of feels like I need a checklist when I prepare to swing each time.  I can see it now before every swing, "Hey can you guys give me 10 minutes while I run through my checklist".  In all seriousness, I see what you all are saying.  I wouldn't be overthinking it so much if just I could make decent contact most of the time.  Next lesson is about two weeks away.  Can't wait.

    • I was going to link in the same think @snapfade did.  Your swing is already consistent, repeatable, except for nearly "microscopic" differences.  The more mechanically-sound your swing becomes, the smaller and less frequent those "microscopic" deviations become.
