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 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress. 
    • Day 130: did a stack session. 
    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
