My Swing (hoonnirun)

[hoonnirun]

Hi new guys here. I just started hitting some balls about 6-7months ago. Mostly at driving range or at home. I wanna improve myself especially consistently, but not sure where to start. 
When I first started I paid for lesson (6 sections which not really gain much) then practice on my own from a bunch of YouTube. I don’t tie to copy the pro move just try to create what most comfortable for me at age of 54.

I also have problem when changing thing like grip, swing pattern then I become really suck for a week and back to my normal swing again.

Can anyone help newbie here?

Looks pretty good for a newbie. Try to get a down the line view if you can.

Your grip looks palmy. You can read about it in this thread:

How about this one? I have limited space on this side of the house. If you need more wide angle, I’ll will shoot some video on the range next time. This video was 2 days ago when I tried to limited my early extensions.

That’s better. What are your misses like, hooks, slices, fats shots?

For grip, check out this post and thread.

It looks like you could probably move closer to the net to get a wider camera shot.

Mostly fat or thin. I’m fortunate? that most of my ball fly straight. One major problem though, probably 30-40% of my hit are “toe hit”.

The grip I tried them all. I started with cross finger, then baseball grip now overlap. I tried neutral grip but I lost a lot of power and my ball fight become hook. Strong grip is my most comfortable.

Nah that furthest I can setup with my 7-iron. I hit the top of the roof and spot light once already 😢

[hoonnirun]

So what should I concentrate to get more consistency? My grip, swing path, hip rotation? I hate when my swings are one day good 3-4 days bad.😢😢😢

Golf is hard ™️ , but you’ve made a good start. Work on the grip and post pictures and video of you gripping the club. Use the thread above as a guide. It takes a while to dial in the grip so it’s automatic. But you can practice gripping the club anywhere, even watching TV.

As for what else to work on, the site owner created this great practice plan during the shutdown. Check it out below. For full swing, days 1-5 are a great start. Do the drills and post them in this thread so we can see your progress.

Your swing doesn’t really change day to day.

Because I don’t know what I am doing 😂😂😂. I watch too many YouTube instructions. I applied to my swing without knowing if it is good or bad to myself.

Here is video of today, just hitting a bunch of different clubs. I think I confused the most on 7-iron where as 4-6 my club face square but 7 seem a lot of close. Sometimes I feel I hit better with 5 iron than 7.

Your clubs all basically take the same swing.

Find your current swing, find your priority, and work on THAT alone. Slowly and with purpose.

And participate elsewhere on the forum too please.

I wonder how your ball flight is? That may give a good answer as to whether your grip is to strong or not, especially when your grip doesn't look too strong to me to begin with. I have to believe that everybody is slightly different with their grip, creating the shot they want to create.

Mostly straight related to where club face hit the ball. Went for a round of golf today, first time keeping score and got 115(double par limit, and a few of 2 strokes penalties from dropping).

Got to practice a few clubs before my friend arrived.

I’m scheduled to take trackman lesson next month. It will be 30 mins 4 section. I went for first evaluation (4 swings of 7-iron) and the guy show me video of what I need improvement. Turned out I did pretty bad than my usual and he only pointed out I sway quite a bit on back swing, didn’t mention anything about grip or my impact position. What do you guy think? Or what I need to improve at this point. BTW he show me data on trackman, in to out path, -4.8 AOA, 5700 spin rate, ball straight but a little bit to the right.
To me, I think I need to open hip more at impact and I think I sway too much on down swing. I tried to move my hip faster once the result was pretty good but I cannot control it or make it happen every time.

I don't think you sway "too much" on the downswing.
