Hi everyone 

Its taken me a while to post my swing video and I look forward to comments.
I've been Playing Golf for:
 1 year
My current handicap index or average score is: NA
My typical ball flight is: slice for driver
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is:  I have a chicken wing problem, as evident from the video of my front swings. I seem to do Ok with irons, but my hybrid and woods are terrible.

Thanks in advance for any and all comments/suggestions.

Cheers

Subhro

More rotation, left shoulder going down more…

Check out some of the videos there, especially early on.

Thanks for your reply Erik!

The day 2 video is exactly my problem. I'll work on the drills you suggested.

I'll also go thru the entire 30 day series that you have so kindly created, there is lot to learn there.

@iacas checking in with an updated video. I tried to incorporate some of your drills ,and my ball striking has shown immediate improvement. Long way to go, but for newbies like me, I'll take whatever I get 🙂

Good. Now feel a bit more "into the ground" during the backswing. The left side (left hip, left knee, left ankle a bit) go into flexion a bit rather than everything just kind of "standing up" as you rotate.

More of the airplane wings drill, for example, or some of the shoulder tilt drills with a focus on the lower body.

Yeah I'm trying to reduce the flex on the right leg so that i can flex the left more and get the shoulders down... it's feels almost like turning a corkscrew. My hamstrings are really tight due to a history of running, so they doth protest too much when i rotate. 

Thanks again for your comments!

    • 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.
