My Swing (mdl)

Definitely more forward with the ball position. Might be part of why you tip back in your swing. You have too much shaft lean at impact.

Been working on:

  1. Better swing plane through the finish (club exiting lower at A8/A9), less in-to-out plane)
  2. More open at impact and into the finish
  3. More stable club face through the zone = less whippy/flippy, straight arms longer into the follow through

Posture is a bit in your heels.

They should be over your ankles more. It might feel like you need to bend over at the waist first, keeping your legs pretty straight, then give a slight flex in your knees. It will feel like you are out over your feet more, maybe like you are tipping over forward. You will need to stand further away from the ball. You may need to round your upper back more.

Good catch. I've totally been background working on that 😆 Better than it used to be. But yeah, as you can see if it's not what I'm concentrating on my hips will drift back a bit.

    • So, @klineka and @Zeph are you guys trying to imply that winning majors is difficult?  Perhaps, that's why Rory becomes the first golfer (not named Tiger Woods) in almost 60 years to win a career Grand Slam? 
    • Watch his post-round interview @TommyRude. It provides good insight on what he's been struggling with. You look for answers in many places, but it may be as simple as nerves. He gets nervous in those situations and winning at Augusta has been a lifelong dream. It became an even more spectatular dream after winning the other majors and only missing The Masters for the career slam. No matter how hard you look and try to analyze everything, it doesn't have to be more complicated than that.  
    • Honestly, I was so confused by their argument. I didn't really respond.   I'm not exactly sure. Start times the first two days were mentioned, and so was course layout, but neither of those made sense to me. 
    • He explained it in the post round interview @ 6:12. It's a good interview where he talks about the mental struggle to win at Augusta, how there's been a lot of pent-up emotions since 2011 and that final round probably being one of the toughest days he's ever had on a golf course. I absolutely recommend spending 26 minutes on it. It provides some good insight on him as a player and person. There's been a lot of talk about him not winning majors and The Masters, which has been difficult for him. He's obviously got the game to win, but nerves seems to be a big reason why he's missed out on many of them. Some people seem to expect the best players to have a mind void of nerves and mental challenges when a lot is on the line, but that's simply not how it works. Some deal with it better than others, regardless of talent and skill. Rory seems to be one that struggle to keep nerves in check in those tense situations. This win is a huge monkey off his back and hopefully it will help him deal with those nerves the next time he's in a position to win a big tournament.   That's the kind of person you don't even bother engaging with. No matter what you say and what evidence there is, they'll have an explanation for it.
    • I dont mind people making statements like that, as long as they can back up their conspiracy theories. So what did they do to make it easier for Rory?
