Recently i have been pushing my irons recently about 10 yards on my mid iron shots here is my 7 iron, 185 yards with a 10-15 yard push. Am i moving my body too much on my swing or am i not clearing my hips too much or too little. Any help would be appreciated. There are two views in this video, If you stop it at the bottom of my down swing of my last shot ( between 1:06 and 1:07) is my shaft flexing too much? I am using a flighted X 6.5

Well there's some good things going on but it seems your hands and arms get too far out and disconnected from the body. Maybe bring them in more and stay more connected. I'm guessing when you miss its because hips and shoulders get out of sync a little.

I don't really think about those things when I swing, I feel like it should happen naturally. You have a good hip move IMO, and the arms should naturally come along for the ride. I would just focus on staying connected and in sync throughout the swing. Maybe ease up just a little for more consistency.

What is it with all the bad videos out here? Please, take some time to set up the camera properly.

The shaft flex is not real, it is a result of how the camera shoot the frames.

Bad video - hard to see anything.

What I see is:
- the head is moving back around impact
- the downswing is well under the shaft plane coming way from the inside
- when you are done you tend to fall to your backside

The rest is hard to see. Just a few questions for you - might be the ones to tackle to eliminate the push:

Why are you trying to hit the ball so overly from the inside? Tried getting the shaft on the downswing when it is parallel to the ground pointing to your target? Where does it point currently?

Where does your imbalance at the finish come from? Where is your weight at impact? Are you hanging back? Tried straightening the back leg for balance and getting your weight to the front foot?

I think your solution lies in the above answers...

PS: Do you have a overly strong grip to wrestle the push to just 15 yards (0:56), where a neutral grip would send it to 30+ yards?

That's a pretty darn good golf swing! Too good for poor quality video to pick up the faults...IMHO.

      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.
