I feel like that would help you be able to shallow out the downswing better, which should help with the contact.

You can give yourself credit, @DeadMan, for the first part, but not that part.

FWIW.

Working. Irons are great right now. Driver is easy to revert back to OTT and basically a closed face pull hook. Going to keep working slow and steady. @iacas recommended taking driver out and slowly working on it on the range and playing the white tees without it. Gaining some confidences that I can shoot low scores if I just get off the tee. So, shorter tees and lower scores equals more confidence. I’m a damn good golfer from the fairway!

Heck of a strike with the iron! Sounded and looked pure. More golfers would benefit from occasionally moving up and working on irons...myself included!

Played 18 today. Hit some solid shots but overall didn't play well. Is it possible for one to over swing with their woods versus the irons to the point of not swinging soundly? I was asked why I swing so hard off the tee but my irons and wedges are not as violent and my finish looks better. Just some thoughts that keep me up at night. Another range day tomorrow then probably some time in the hot tub as I've had a club in my hands everyday this month.

Last week I just held a club and tried certain positions in the downswing so I could feel where I needed to be. Didn’t hit a ball until Friday and finally broke 80 for the first time since November. Hit the ball Ok but still could be better. Limited driver use but I was in play. 

Here are some videos from the range tonight. 3 iron that I’ve been hitting well, full driver, and the slow driver drill to get me into position. I’m still over the top a bit but I’m turning more in the backswing and the ball isn’t a drastic hook, so I’m happy with the little progress I’m seeing.

Really liked "DTL slow driver 2-5-18".

Stop your full-speed swing at the top and look at two things:

  • Where the shaft is pointing.
  • How much the hips have turned.

I didn’t realize it but that is crazy different. I have been telling myself to stop trying to crush the ball and swing softer like my irons. I go too far and lift instead of turning when swinging the driver where he drill causes me to turn my hips to finish the back swing. The shot on the right with the left arm almost parallel to my shoulders is the position I really want to be in. The pic on the left where it’s above my shoulders causes the over the top downswing.

I’m thinking by my increased turn in the backswing, I am going too far and the club is crossing the path at the top then I go into a pull over the top and try to lay the club down late and it’s either a cut or a hook. Can practice 50% fine but at full swing speed it’s all hands. 

Would a seing trainer like the hanger help with my hand/wrist positions at the top and impact? When I really try to lay the club off at the top I have been hitting the ball fat, but that’s likely due to not turning my hips through impact. 

Not happy about these swings, but I need to document it either way.

@kpaulhus, it's going to end up being more about your right elbow than how much you turn.

Look at these pictures and ask yourself "what's different?" and "what's the cause?"

I don't think you turn any further between the left images and the right images.

Do you agree?

Yes, I agree. It's more or less keeping it tight instead of flaring out. Gotta keep working on it in the back swing.

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
