Hello all,

I have spent a lot of time on this form reading and trying to identify flaws in my swing. I am a beginner and looking for some input before I spend money on lessons.

One major issue I am having is a straight left arm on impact. I have spent many hours trying to improve on this and have made no progress. I believe my greatest issue is my hip movement or lack there of!

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.


Since no one else has replied I might be able to help

At setup: You're not over the ball, your head is behind the ball...do you chunk much?

Backswing: You sway off the ball even more and then crouch down a bit

Downswing, you're flipping through the ball and lose forward shaft lean ( swaying is probably the main cause of this )

Get your head over the ball at setup, instead of swaying, rotate with your hips ( you'll feel your right leg straighten instead of crouch ), and lead the clubhead with your hands, not the other way around

    • There is 100%, incontrovertible, undisputed evidence and proof that he wasn’t winning majors from 2015 - 2024. Even though I concede that my take is laughable, I don’t think it’s laughable to say that Rory’s major drought during that period is one of the most extreme droughts in modern golf history.  Extreme meaning, with his innate and physical talent (AND his major record pre-2015), he could’ve should’ve won multiple majors during that period. If you agree with that, then the question is why?  What was preventing him from closing the deal on majors?
    • You have no proof that Rory's perceived "jackedness" was hindering him from hitting the crucial shots under pressure at the majors. I don't think his jackedness caused Rory to miss a combined like 7 feet of putts over the last 2 holes at the 2024 US Open. 
    • Not a problem chetlover, as I look back - even thought I truly believed in the take - it looks laughable.  IF - Rory had done some of the things I mentioned and lost, I’m sure I would have trumpeted how prescient I was.  But now, perhaps my take can be considered for a Wall of Shame. Colin M - - haha, he’s jacked for sure - jacked on Big Macs. Brooks and Bryson;  Brooks buffness looks pretty natural?  And Bryson - definitely on the bizarre end of the spectrum.  But for both Brooks and Bryson, they were winning majors.  Whatever jackness they had-have, natural or extreme, was not hindering them from hitting the crucial shots under pressure, at the majors.
    • Did Rory ever explain the horrible pitch on 13? Was it a miss hit?
    • ^^^ I think this year gave us something incredibly exciting, but also special. That list of career grand slam winner is something else. Well, except for Gary Player.
