I went to the range earlier this week to try a couple of new swing thoughts. It was disasterous. Reverse pivot and huge over the top swing.

See video below

8/5/09 Swing

Went back out Friday to concetrate on swinging on plane and firing with the hips. Much better results.

8/7/09 Swing

I'd appreciate any feedback.

good looking swing, you just need to make a few adjustment here and there.

I think you are swing more with your upper body and not using the benefit of your lower body.

one drill that might help is to swing a driver or iron with your feet together and practice this drill to help syncronize the upper and lower body.

1) check your weight balance and make sure you are do not have too much weight on your heels
2) keep your knees flexed and remain flex on your backswing especially your right knee
3) when you finish your swing you should be on the toe of your rear foot for a complete weight shift
4) watch the position of the toe of your club and make sure it is in the correct postion hip high and and the top along with the face of your club

overall a nice swing, good luck.

Hi,

You don't start downswing with your left side(hip/leg) search other posts. We all write/talk about it so many times ....
That move with your good swing dynamcis will be great . (And that will bring you to the ball more from inside too).

Cheers,
Marjan

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
