Did you slice that? Looked lkike you cut across it a bit.

You are probably one of the slowest players I've ever seen. What the hell were you doing standing over your ball for like 25 seconds like that man? LOL.

You're coming way out to in, on the back swing and the down swing. If you stop it when the club head gets to waist height, the club head is almost directly above the ball. Given that arc, you then basically stand up straight and almost entirely lose your spine angle in order to pull the club head back from outside the ball. You have nice looking athletic control. Try straightening out the arc your club head takes so it's parallel with the target line instead of out to in, and maintain more of your spine angle (yes, iacas, I know all good players stand up a little bit, but not THIS much!).

You've got a good whip but are a little armsy. Try making the adjustments swinging literally at 50% and take videos of yourself and check up on it...

slow down that backswing, it's so quick! Take it back easy and build up speed as you get closer to impact.

I am no pro but will just put a few things down that I noticed with the shot.

- Lifting the club with the hands on the backswing
- no shoulder turn, this caused by the lifting.
- your weight is not forward on your follow through but on the back foot.

Something I noticed but dont change your swing on the advice of an 11 handicapper.. i'm no teaching pro.

You stand so far away from the ball.. lots of the pros bring their hands much closer to their bodies on their swing.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
