Hey guys. I have only played golf for a few years but I play almost everyday that I can. I have been able to transform my baseball swing into a golf swing. A few weeks ago I was playing my best golf, consistently scoring in the low 70s and the same ball flight (high draw) every time I struck a ball. My distances were solid as I would hit a 7i 200. However, I took a week off due to a vacation and came back to the game and have been lost. I have been fading everything off of the heel of the club. Feels like I am hands/flippy at contact anyone have any help?

 

The first video is my swing from when I was playing very well. If the order gets changed I’m wearing pants. 

 

Second video is the rough swing

I've been Playing Golf for: 2.5 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 8.8
My typical ball flight is: draw
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: fade

You need better angles for filming. See the thread below. Also, it helps the viewer if you edit the video length to just the swing and use slow motion. Most phones have these capabilities now.

I agree. If A is "better angles," then B would be "trim the video," and C would be "use slow-mo mode."

Let's go for the trifecta.

    • 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.
