So guys a week ago I started actually playing again after 3 months of study, and.......I sucked, shot in the 80s three times pulled nearly everything, nearly broke down in tears on the 18th

So was watching footage of myself ever since then and I keep having different guesses each of which are wrong so far, so Ive come to the conclusion I have an over the top backswing.....but my downswing seems just as it always was. My backswing is just like thoses over the top players downswing, weird shoulder and right elbow movement, but the downswing seems fine.

Now I cant get footage from my phone to my pc, but let my assure you its an ott players downswing for my backswing, Im too poor to get lessons atm but guys Im a 4 handicap I have to fix this quick, plz help

Yeah...that seems a little weird. An OTT move is usually back down, though it starts with the backswing. Maybe you're just spinning yourself out, and not realizing it?

Over the top means the club and usually hands get too far in front of you, too close to the ball. Lots of players do this on the backswing, drop the hands into the slot and come down on a better line. It is however recommended to get the hands on the proper path right away, to avoid having to loop the club around.

If this is the case, I'd recommend reading this thread: http://thesandtrap.com/forum/threads/30325

There should be no problem getting a video from an iPhone to a PC, google it or ask someone else for help. Without a video it is hard to give you any suggestions.

Its not an iphone and it cant email lol, what I meant was I took the club almost straight up outside then to the top, its what ott-ers do on their downswing, well turns out it was a cause of not turning the right hip, therefore throwing the hands out and up

    • Day 53. Played 9. Couldn’t find the bottom of the swing arc. It was bad. 
    • Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.

    • Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.
