first off, i am new here, but have been reading for a bit. This year has brought on different difficulties in my golf game. Typically the best part of my game is off the tee and long irons, whereas, i tend to struggle around the green, which i know with time i will get better. This year seems to be a whole new game. As far as chipping and putting, i am playing better than i ever have. Off the tee and long irons are now my trouble. The irons i feel like i have figured the problem but cannot stop what i am doing. i am constantly topping the ball which seems to be a combo of "taking a peek" and not keeping my shoulder through the swing and pulling up. Off the tee has me frustrated though. i have always been great off the tee and long. this year i cant hit S***. i have a terrible hook, not just a major draw, but a ridiculous hook that is leaving me no more than 175-200 yards off the tee straight into the trees. not sure what i am doing but wanted to see if any of you guys have ran into any slumps in the past that could give me a few pointers to check and see if im doing the same things.

thanks in advance,

Dave

Welcome to the Sand Trap first of all...

Of course EVERY golfer goes through crazy slumps that leave you scratching your head...persistence and dedication is the key to coming out of it IMO.

It would be hard to asses problems you may be having in your swing without video, or at the very least a little more detailed description of your own assessment on your swing...but video would be the easiest way for anyone to help you out with your swing.

The War Sticks:

 

Driver: Adams Speedline F11 9.5* w/ Aldila Voodoo stiff flex shaft

3Wood: Adams Speedline Fast 10 15*

Hybrid: Ping G10 22* 

Irons:Mizuno MP32's 3-PW (bought used for $189)

Wedges: Cleveland CG14 52*, 56*

Putter: An old Ram Laser...lol...but it works

Ball: Srixon Q-star

yeah i know there could be multiple different scenarios. i am going out for round later today so will hopefully have something to post tomorrow. It is just bizarre that i go from being consistent off the tee and with long irons and being a hack in the short game department to the complete oppossite.

      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?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
