Just got a replacement tripod so I thought I would look at my swing. This is a caddy view of a wedge:

 

I don't like how I have a lot of weight on the lead leg. I also seem stiff on the start of the downswing and my sequence probably needs to initiate more with the lower body to generate more lag.

Here is a down the line with an 8 iron. This view tends to hide the flaws better I think. I might start a bit with the shoulders being a bit over the top.

Can be fine for a wedge.

Thinking about those videos: Have my hips stalled? Shouldn't they be more open at impact?

Yes. They’re not going to rotate very well with your lead knee flexed like that.

They likely stall because they have to in order for you to be able to hit the ball.

The issue is probably long before these photos.

Maybe coming in OTT/too steep? These are screen shots of the previous videos above.

      Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.

      Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.

      By iacas ·

      Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
