How often is your miss a lower right-to-left ball?

How often is your miss a lower right-to-left ball?

The majority of my misses are a push that files dead straight. I find find with that miss, I come to much from the inside on the downswing with a square face. The timing of my weight shift with that typical miss for me is what I have a hard time with when it creeps into my game during a round

Thank you! Being a former NCAA baseball player really helped me with generating power with my legs and lag with the golf swing.

Tons of power, but you drop your head quite a bit when transitioning into your downswing. I'd work on slowing your tempo and keeping your head still.

nice swing... yeah, the only thing i'd be wary of is the slight head drop. but, if it's not causing you to hit fat, then don't worry about it.

It surprises me that noone has said that your posture at address is pretty bent over as well. You are clearly making it work, but if your swing was mine I would work on standing more upright, using more of my lower body in my swing, and slowing my tempo slightly... Just my 0.02 for what it's worth...

Great suggestions! The head drop comments are certainly valid and it's something that I try to work on. With my shorter irons, I don't drop my head as much but with the longer clubs (woods, etc), I really drive with my lower half which causes my head drop.

You are right..but I find bending over slighty helps with my one plane swing

I have no suggestions, but holey smokes you really mashed that ball!

Love the compactness of your swing. Club looks very controlled at end of backswing and finish position.

A lot of pros dip their heads on the downswing. As long as it's from "compressing" into the ground (i.e. squatting), I think you're fine. It can be a power move when you push off the ground for leverage and extend your spine through impact.

I didn't think of it in that way. Makes total sense.
