This is my first post on this forum. so, I hope I do this right. This is just a quick clip of my golf swing. This is the first time I am actually seeing my golf swing. I don't know what to think. doesn't look to bad, so, I just wanted to see what you guys thought.

It looks pretty handsy with a lot swaying. I'd try to turn against a more ridged right side and really "throw" your hands/arms down the target line.

You've got a really nice tempo going there.  I wouldn't change too much.  Like Gill said, make sure you brace against your back foot, never let the weight get outside your back foot.  Other than that, looks good.

thanks guys.

I understand I do sway a bit. by bracing against the back foot, that will help keep my weight from swaying to much? I think I understand what you guys mean. trying to keep my weight more centered and not sway it back behind my back foot.

the handsy part I don't really understand. I feel that my wrist hold the 90* angle with my arms all the way to impact where I release my hands to come through the ball. by handsy, do you guys mean I am bringing my right wrist around to quick?

thanks again for the input. hoping I can eventually get a good solid swing down.

you keep your wrist hinge on the downswing very well.

what i think everybody is talking about is you backswing is very handsy. looks to me that you start your backswing with your hands. it should be a one peice takeaway starting with your arms and then hinging your wrists. seems to me your doing both of these things both at the same time.

I don't see the "handsy" problem, and I don't think it is one, as long as you stay on plane, which it looks like you do.  Hogan started his backswing with his hands, or so he said, and Ben Curtis clearly does.

The bracing off the back leg is just as you say.  Don't ever get your weight to the outside of your back leg.  Just feel like you are in the batters box in baseball but, instead of stepping into the pitch, you drive off the back foot in your downswing.

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • 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?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
