Hey guys,

Lately I've made great changes to my swing, and my grip has been fixed, and I'm hitting them straight about 85% of the time (Tiger Woods, here I come! ) and the other 15%, I push the ball. I know why, but I don't seem to know how to fix it. When I finish in my follow though, my back is bent backwards, letting me know my club face was open in the swing. Is there any way I can make sure when I swing though, I'm in a straight up and down position with my club face surely square?

And also, I was thinking about posting a video for those that could help me and make comments on it. Should I try that?

Thanks guys, Hunter.


 
 


From my experience bending your back(keeping your head behind the ball) flattens out the swing plane(because the right shoulder drops) which will cause an inside to outside swing path which encourages a push(the severity depending on how far inside-out the swing plane is). If the ball is not curving right after it starts on it's initial line then that would indicate that your clubface is square(to the swing path) and it's just a swing path issue that needs to be fixed.

What is your ballflight?

Push with the shot curving further right?

Or is it just a push right that continues on a straight line(no curve)?

Well I was outside praticing today, and I was slicing it pretty bad, until I thought about my left elbow. When I came up, it was bent, and when I went down, I flattened it out. I thought about just keeping it straight throughout the swing, and the slicing stopped, and it went straight for the most part, with little slices and hooks here and there. Could that have been my problem? OR what would a bent elbow cause?

    • B That said, if you think it helps, it will… for awhile.
    • I have been on a roll in November. Today was a 77 (69.2/115, 6,050 yards) on a wet course with dew covered bumpy greens. Better greens and I might have shaved a few more strokes off the score.
    • So, it appears to me that everyone is bringing out some version of the zero-torque, or square to square, or torque balanced, putter.  What ever name you want to give it seems like everyone has one of these types of things in their line up now.  It reminds me of about 10 years ago, when everyone had to have a counter-balanced putter in their line-up.  Callaway Media | Videos, Podcasts, & Episodes | Golf Content The Official source for Callaway golf clubs, golf balls and gear.
