How are you all doing? It's been a long time since I post in here. I need advice regarding my swing... Irons: I can hit all my irons with the inside swing path by dropping my arms first on the down swing. However as I become tired, I find it harder to drop it, rather my shoulder spins and I create an over the top swing. I can hit all my irons almost perfectly , until my hip muscles become tired and tight. So why is this and how do I fix this problem? Driver and 3wood: I really have a hard time dropping the arms to create that inside swing path. I hit the driver poorly now. Intact , today I tried dropping my arms again by bumping my hips to clear the path for my arms to drop and I ended up low hooking the ball all the time. Please help with this as well.

This may help you to get a better understanding of what you call dropping the shoulders,

Thanks for the link,that looks great. Will read that in a few here. About the hip muscle fatique, is it really possible for this reason that I have a hard time dropping My arms on the start of the down swing? Or is it because I'm tired , my brain tells me to swing harder thus the over the top swing?

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
