My Swing (kilbyman)

Two older swings and a newer face on swing.  Lots of thin and fat contact.  Help!

There's a few issues there, some things to work on:

The most obvious flaw there is that you're starting the downswing by throwing the club at the ball, and coming over the top. You'll notice that all good players start their downswing by first moving their hips towards the target, then turning them and allowing the arms and hands to follow, coming more from the inside. Your head is also moving toward the target quite noticably on the downswing, you should try to keep it centered over the ball. There's also flipping at impact as you're losing the angle between the shaft and your arms on the way down. You should feel like your hands are way ahead of the clubhead at impact.

Just a few things that I see at least. Some of the head honchos here should be able to give you better/more detailed advice.

- half swings
- hips forward earlier, longer

As I said in your video you've got a lot of good things going on, and these aren't the toughest of first pieces, so I look forward to your next videos and your progress.

Welcome aboard kilbyman. We've had a lot of success with evolvr and look forward to making you the next success story!

I practiced these things today... and I noticed two things immediately... more piercing, longer ball flight, and I could see the ball the whole time because I didn't overdo the backswing quite as badly. I also tried to keep the takeaway more square to the plane... and this paid huge dividends with the woods. Finally figured out why those clubs have given me weak pushes... now they start straight! Woohoo!
