So here's the thing, I will be leaving town in December, so probably, golf by January will be over for me, I guess I will be back to a 8-10 handicap, if I'm doing well. Lately, I think, because of this, I have been doing a mess with my game, my putting is definitely off and now my iron play is off and my driving, basically evreything is off and my handicap has been rising, I was hitting rounds around par or under par, now I'm not.

So, I will really like to play my best golf this last months, maybe this is also the last time I ask for your help. My irons are not properly fitted for me, I need a 2° upright but I will not invest or modify them right now, and it is not because of I don't want it, it is because around here we don't have the facilities to take our irons to a store and get them fixed. Some pros had told me that I have a very beautiful, smooth swing, but what I tell them is that good swing can also produce bad shots and I think this is my case, right now.

I need your help to go back in time, for waht, to adjust my swing to the clubs, how can I swing my club so that I can hit it correctly at the bottom? How can I make my swing flatter? Or I don't know what I need to do it. I will do anything.

Thank you very much!

Cheers!

To make the lie angle fit, keep your knees bent a little more at address and throughout your swing.

I had some clubs that were 2 degrees upright. I loaned them out and they got damaged and I replaced them with a standard set. Very hard to adjust but I did it . .it took about a month or so and then they felt normal to me. My swing got very flat . . .I basically set up with the club face like I want it at impact .. and then try not to lift up out of that position.

I recently got new clubs that are 2 degrees upright again and am going through another adjustment period. Much easier to adjust to clubs that fit you vs clubs that dont . .but you can do it! Just give it 4-6 weeks.

I'm not as good a golfer as you - or even close to it - so maybe you can adjust even faster. But I do think it will take some time . . no way around that.

It is soooooo stupid to fit your natural swing to your clubs, they just fit or they don't. I wouldn't invest two months in adjusting myself to the clubs, move to a new location, have them fitted and have to learn the old swing again. If you are sure about the 2* upright, just google a nearby fitter and UPS the clubs to them, bent 2* upright and UPS them back to you, might take less than a week. Bending 8-10 irons, might cost as little as $50 orso.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
