My Swing (Gnohymmas)

[Gnohymmas]

I hurt my back a couple of months ago and stopped golf for a while. When I returned, I found that my swing looks terrible now. I'm pretty happy with my backswing and downswing, but there is something wrong with the swing after impact, but I don't know exactly what. Tips are appreciated.

By the way, my misses are usually a huge push or a huge pull hook. Is it something to do with my hips not sliding? I am extremely confused right now.

You are just using your arms to swing. Probably fixating on hitting the ball rather than swinging through and making contact in the process.

Work on your downswing pivot. Your shoulders and hips are still closed to your target line at impact.

Your hips should be open to your 'almost' open shoulders at impact.

So I should rotate my hips faster through impact?

I don't think you need to rotate faster. But you are hanging back too much on your right foot at impact. You need most of your weight on your left side at impact, especially with your irons. It's hard, almost impossible to get a hands forward, downward strike on the ball if all your weight is on your right side at impact. At the top of the swing, you need to bump your hips towards the target, then rotate, allowing your arms to drop down and swing through. Make a nice aggressive move with the hips, get that weight onto the left side.

Watch a side on view of any Tour Pro making a swing. Practically all of them make this move, with the hips shifting towards the target before the downswing is initiated from the top.

Study it, you'll get it. When you get that right you'll have a nice little swing there.

Edit :

This video is a good illustration.

See his left hip drive toward the target before they begin to turn? That's what you're missing.

Thanks! I'll go practice that today.
