You seem to take your club pretty inside. Also, you get a lot more upright on your downswing. Look at the pictures as a reference (how'd I do with them?).

Not trying to be a jerk, but put a ball down and tape your swing actually hitting a one (even a plastic ball). Not that I am in any position to analyze your swing. I'm just saying, from experience, our practice swings all look like tour pros when there isnt a ball there.

Nice athletic stance....good move through the ball into a full finish.

I'd say you are off to a great start....stay with the game!!!!!



I'm just an average hack...so take this for what it's worth, perhaps nothing .....try taking the stick back a little lower for a little while longer in the backswing. It will promote a wider arc and not an overly long backswing. A real easy way to think about it is to brush the grass for

You're getting too steep. I would bet that on your miss hits that you tend to hosel shots occasionally or hit a low fade. Work on the swing arch and flattening the swing a little. Not bad though bro.

    • Day 21 - 2026-01-10 More mirror work focused on hip. 
    • I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.  
    • Day 150 1-10 focus on arching the wrist and getting the ball to go left. Recorded, hit foam balls. 
    • Day 467 - 2026-01-10 Practiced at Pinehurst every day I was there, and before Junior Elite this morning I got fifteen minutes of backswing checks in the mirror in.
