Ok, I finally got some sort of recorder to record my swing! This quality wasn't very good, but from what you see please help! I can see I have a little over the top right now...

By the way, I just recorded this and I haven't been to the range in like a month, but I'm planning on trying to start up soon.




And yes, I'm hitting something. One of those plastic balls.

you hav an ovet the top problem,i think in your case you are starting the backswing with your arms not your lower body,try to get a small hip "bump" and that should allow you to drop into the slot a little easier,oh and one more thing you have a very upright swing try to tuck your left shoulder under your chin,thats about the best tip ive ever had to fix an upright swing.

I thought so. Lol, funny thing is a few months ago I was struggling with a flat swing. I'll try going to the range next time and recording. Maybe it'll be different.

well if anything make sure you start the swing with hips

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 45 (27 Dec 25) - played at one of the sisters courses to my home course.  Solid session through the bag….of the 7 pars, 4 were up and down 1 putts (wedges were dialed in) from 6’ or less.  Off the tee - solid, irons were consistent even it a bit under on distances.  Course management was on - stayed the course even with a few offline recovery shots required…

      Day 453 - 2025-12-27 Two things today for about 48 balls (I like to hit three or six balls at a time before taking a small break to pick them up): Right leg stays flexed a bit, internal rotation on the backswing. Kept my eyes looking at the ball and trusted that the backswing was fine.

      Day 137 12-27 Worked on wider backswing today and tried to remain flowy. Recorded face on and down the line. Swing is looking better but I mentally felt off today, just frustrated. Tomorrow's a new day!

      2025 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Maroon88 · Posted

      I guess I'll stay at -16 for this year's challenge.  I never birdied holes 7, 13 (the 2 hardest holes) in 2025.  Also had a couple Eagle putts on the par 5's, but didn't convert either time.  Looking forward to 2026, though!
