Sorry - meant to include the "secret hip slide" thread as a link. Also, hit balls with a shaft against your left hip so you don't slide backwards during your backswing.

Hey Taz are you left handed......I mean is your dominant arm the left one?

Taking the above advice may lead to destruction of your golf game. Laughing at it may reduce stress.

I am very right hand dominant. Swing lefty but all right hand.

I thought it looked a bit familiar. I'm the same, It looked to me that you're very strong with the right hand.

And I've battled over the years with my strong hand on the top and it has upsides and down.....do you agree?

I've often found that I'm a straighter player playing "backhand" but nothing can replace the power of the bottom hand. but you know exactly what I'm on about.

Have you played as a right hander?

I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years competitvely, 4 years when I first came to site, but played maybe 3 rounds in 2 years.

My current handicap index or average score is: Lowest handicap was a 3 and now it is up to a 7 (struggling)

My typical ball flight is: Push or a hook lately , use to be a tight draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is:

Push and hook

I am working on the 5 Simple keys swing.



Any thoughts will really help. I feel like I come into the ball to steep on the downswing, with the toe hitting first and I need to make it shallower.

The Vision Track has helped me find my game. Spend 10 minutes a day with it and am consistently hitting it straight or slight draw. I've bought lots of gadgets but this is the first that worked from the getgo !

Simple, effective training aids are great.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
