Hi,

I've been hitting my irons pretty good lately, with a baby draw. I also work with the Dewiz sometimes and with video to see what the club is doing and in general the club path looks okay I think.

However, lately im trying to rotate much to see more of the 2 back pockets at impact. To be fair im probably over-rotating or rotate too early in practice now (hopefully I'll find a good middle-ground eventually).

However, I notice that the club path becomes worse and less shallow, since more rotation just forces the club outwards I think? It might just be a timing issue as well, not sure.

Just wondering if someone knows any instructional video on this topic or has any ideas on this topic,

Not sure about all the things you are mentioning about your swing specifically, but in terms of the general topic of "shallowing," and how it relates to arm movement and body movement, the above link is excellent.

In general, yes, getting open more or sooner can lead to pulling the club out earlier and across the ball (left, for a righty).

    • 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.
