Hello everyone, I've been trying to really improve lately but have been in quite a bit of a slump recently, due in large part to hitting a lot of thin shots/ weak fades.  I posted my swing on here about 8 months ago and the immediate answer was the fact that I was swaying way too much in my backswing leading to inconsistency, and I feel that I have since fixed this.

I have six videos, a 5 iron DTL & Face on, along with the same two views with a 60 degree wedge and my driver.  Hopefully this gives plenty of vantage points to look from, and if any other view/ club video is needed post it here and i'll get it up asap.  Again, I'm hitting lots of thin shots, and a weak fade from time to time.  I seem unable to hit a draw, but hit the occasional very solid shot also. In all, very inconsistent.  Any help is appreciated, thanks guys!

I trust someone more qualified will chime.  I can not seem to see enough frames to get a true picture but I do not see any slide forward with your hips.  It does not look like you are really transferring your weight.

Check out this thread.  Your hips do not slide at all.

Bump up..... I have been working on the hip slide, what are some good drills other than the tripod one mentioned in the link?

Having trouble downloading video to my V1 software.     Quick glance you are still swaying and more importantly you are getting on top of your hip rather then into the right side.  Do you notice how your right hip is high and lost its level at the top of the swing?      This causes your shoulders to be to steep.  At the top you have dropped the left hip and never got off your left side.  So How can you slide into your left side.   You dont want to slide anyway.    By never getting into your right side and steep shoulders you will have to back up and out of the shot because you are ahead of the ball. You then flip with the right hand to square the face...  Everybody is telling you about your flip but dont tell you that if you did not flip it you would hit low bullets that would go miles right.    what happens before is what is causing the flip.

You need to kick your right knee toward the target at address to lower your right hip to match your shoulder tilt.        You then want to practice your pivot by turning into the right thigh..  You will feel a stretch in your inner right thigh and left lat......  Your right hip will go back toward your heel and toward the target.

Dude you need to take vids with you hitting the ball. It's hard for anyone to give you any real advice with a practice swing.

    • Until I can find some positive things to post about my swing I think it’s about time to… 
    • How would you change the rule to make it more "fair", and still be consistently interpreted and enforced?  It may not be perfect, but as a referee I can watch a player and look at the ground surface and make a ruling.  How can it be changed to address different players and their individual height, weight, and shoe size?
    • A bit old.. but this rule is kind of unfair ...  Lets say that you have Emiliano Grillo and Darren Clark playing together on a PGA event and on one hole both hit the ball to the middle of the fairway only 1 inch apart. When they arrive to the ball Darren take his stand and water comes out from the ground and remains there so he procceds take a free drop on a dry area and hit his shot.  Afterwards Grillo takes his stance in the same spot as Clark, but because he is a lot ligther, no water araise from the ground. According to the rules he is not allowed a free drop from the same spot darren had a free drop seconds before. I would love to see this happenning live on TV. Can an argument be made by grillo? could and official use the "spirit of the rule" to let him have a free drop?     
    • Day 84 (24 Jul 25) - Weekly nine hole round cancelled as the course was tied up with a ladies tournament.  No worries - set up with the 54deg wedge and worked on varied shots with green side focus in mine (those nGIR's).  Worked between high floaters and low spinners from varied lies replicating the types of lies I typically see on the courses around here.  
    • I meant lb for lb - so yes I agree it's wheel weight. How would you go about explaining that to someone? Perhaps the rotational inertia being higher with heavier wheels and the rotational inertia of the wheel requiring more torque to make its angular acceleration increase at the same rate?
