I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year
My current handicap index or average score is: 23.4 but shooting worse this last 2 weeks
My typical ball flight is: High with good contact. low sclice when hit bad, Straight and short when hit super fat.
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Irons and pitching. My irons have always been hit and miss. And always very high and short. 5 iron 145-155 carry.

I'd love to see a video of you swinging a medicine ball back and forth, focusing a lot on rotation and swinging your arms.

I'm not a big fan of the Ernest Jones method, but I'd look into those feelings for now so you can get the arms swinging back and forth.

I'd grab a heavy rope and swing that back and through, too, really again focusing on rotation.

Thanks Erik, I will look into Ernest Jones and keep my eye out for a medicine ball. Shot  a better video tonight with more FPS and audio removed.

Glad to see you start this. I know your phone is older, so I'll have to bring mine over with the tripod and we can have a little range session in the garage. Get some serious slomo. I haven't updated my thread in far too long and you've got me inspired.

Update: The current swing. Plenty of head movement which I minimized after reviewing this.

    • 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.
