Right the thing is last summer everything was going really nice from tee to green, putting wasnt the best but Ive improved greatly the last 2 rounds I  have been on I havent 3 putted once.

But with the winter not being the greatest and working around the clock I didnt get a round in all winter, now Im back out again... driving is working, as I mentioned putting is loads better but my short irons have totally gone, I have no idea why, I mean Im not hitting any greens with from 7 - Pitch.

Please does anyone have any tips Im going to be adding some vids of my swing when Im on the range tomorrow if you think that could help see whats going wrong!

Any help/tips will be much appreciated!

....anyone can sweep a ball off a 2" tee with a 460cc driver and a sweet spot the size of a basketball.  (kinda like why 8 year olds play t-ball)

To properly compress an iron takes a sound understanding of the golf swing plus some athletic talent.

Don't take your clubhead inside the line too soon, focus on alignment at address, hit more wedges than woods at the range.

When you say you're not hitting greens....wheres your miss? Short? Long? Left? Right?

Are you chunking it? Topping it? Blading it? Shanking it? Missing the ball entirely?

Need more info!

I have been having trouble finding greens this year as well. I either hit a push or a slice and miss left or right but my distance seems to be on, just need moar practice.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
