As confirmed by Steve Sieracki, my downswing comes in under plane and too much in-to-out, causing pushes and hooks. Per Steve, my right arm gets too far back in backswing, and I end up swinging too much to the right....Any helpful ideas out there?

What did Steve say w/respect to how to fix it? For me, he usually suggests drills to fix my current biggest flaw.

Here's a video from Nick Clearwater on pushes and hooks.

Thanks for the video Nevets88. Steve recommended the same things..Tee's under arm pits, and "pulling" to the left in the downswing. Funny thing is, I went out and shot my season low 81, right after the lesson, but "lost" the good feelings from the lesson a week later. For a guy who likes the "push" feel of the downswing, that left arm "pull" feel is very strange. Of course, Steve's busy this week-end, so I'm desperately trolling the internet for guys who've encountered the same problem....appreciate your input!

bpschmid,

Where are you trolling? Did you try the stack and tilt group on Facebook?

I'm starting feel I'm making progress and winter beckons. Bummer. I'm going to try for one more lesson before November. Already looking forward to next year.

Steve's good, and was here at Golf Evolution last year briefly... so he'd know better than us what worked for you.

Something clearly worked for you - you say so yourself - do you have notes or pictures? Why not just go back to those and re-create the drills and feelings you had in your last lesson? You know what to work on... but you forgot? I politely refuse to throw out new answers... you have the answer... And I would guess that if you emailed Steve he'd remind you... have you tried that?

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
