I have tried to make some changes so far this year. Working on starting the downswing with my lower body, trying to hold the wrist hinge longer.

Any commentary or tips would be greatly appreciated.

This is an 8 iron I'm swinging here.

Left shoulder down towards your front foot. Feel as if your right arm never bends.

Work on maintaining your inclination to the ground throughout your swing as you are lifting during the backswing and through impact. Keep more weight on your front foot during your backswing. Drive your hips more towards the target as you are still initiating your downswing with your arms.

settle that head of yours...maintain a stronger left arm...imagine pulling the butt end of the club to your left foot on the way down while rotating around your spine

I hope you did'nt hit that house over there....lol

One thing that stands out is you move around to much in your swing and lift up during the back swing.

Thanks a lot for the tips. I noticed my left arm is too loose when watching the video. That house is out of range with an 8 nice tip about driving the butt of the club down first! Also didn't realize how much I bobbed my head. As soon as this deep freeze is over in ny I will be eager to hit a few more with this stuff in mind

    • Part of the clubmaker's process, in this case, is to have the player come back after a few rounds for any necessary tweaking, FWIW.
    • I totally agree with this but beginners are not good players that can adjust to almost every club setup.  A ping certified fitter, ex pro that plays at my home course, told me that the idea of the fitting in this case is to give the player the clubs that are at least suited for his body type in general. (body, arms, hands, strength, speed, etc) so he can go an play or have lessons with clubs that are not perfect for him but close enough. From there is up to the player to come back for another fitting in the future in case he feels his current clubs are no longer suited for his new swing/mechanics.  So.. I vote basic club fitting then lessons.   
    • Okay, so my children and I got into a heated debate at the dinner table last night.  We were discussing making Christmas Cookies and got on the topic of what is the best cookie.  I personally think the Oatmeal Raisin is the best. My kids mocked me. "THAT'S AN OLD MAN COOKIE!"  Seriously? Does anyone besides me love the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie?  And if not, what is the best cookie?

    • Day 3: 12/12/2024 Okay, so I've already put in about a 1/2 hour of mirror work on my priority piece which I've nicknamed PPJ. The first to P's are starting to feel less bizarro but the J is still too late. As of now, I'm still thinking about it too much. So, although I'm anxious to hit balls, I'm sticking with the mirror work for another day or two. Then I'll move to the garage net.  I set up a small station right outside my office so every time I go in or out I can do a slow-mo PPJ in front of a mirror.
