I've been playing golf for 3 years. Last golf season i started going to the range regularly.  This season i've been putting alot of work into my game.

my average score is mid to low 80s i feel like im getting closer to a break through but i know something is missing in my swing

my ball flight with my irons are high

when i miss a shot its a hook and i think i just get lazy with my hips

thanks for the all the help i've already learned so much from this community.  I was struggling with a duck hook off the tee but after doing some drills from some people here.  I started getting my hips through the shot and my swing feels back to normal

check your swing path when your going back, it seems like you might be hurrying at the top and trapping your hands resulting in a hook. A good way to check your swing path and setup 3 tees in row about 3 inches apart aiming at a target now line up your ball in front of the tees and practice taking it back over that path. As for the high ball flight move the ball just a bit forward cant tell exactly but it looks like you play the ball back a bit and that makes the ball go higher.

Yes, you are too flat...try to concentrate on bringing the club straight back and up closer to your shoulders.  Your follow through looks really good.

Ive been hitting really good solid shots and pretty consistently the problem is my misses are BAD really bad maybe because im to flat and i make it hard to get back to a good impact position? I know that was a statement but it was really a question lol am i on the right track i like to understand why something is hurting or helping my swing

    • Starting over - missed posting yesterday and it had been less than 28 days since last off day….today was tempo drill day.  Worked on takeaway and moving smoothly into weight shift.  
    • I know it is probably dependent on a lot of factors, but how windy does it have to be out before you need to start guessing on how much it would influence the break of your putt?  When I played at Bandon, it was like 25-30 mph winds. The caddies talked about the wind negating break. The only time I had it visually influence my putt was on hole 18 at Bandon Dunes. My missed my putt on the high side of a pretty severe breaking putt. The slope around the hole was in the 2-3 degree range. As the ball was about to come to a stop, the wind gusted and pushed the ball half a rotation into the cup.  The rest of the week I thought it had no influence at all. I was thinking, is it just over thinking to try to account for the wind?   
    • Day 310 - 2025-08-06 Went downtown in the late afternoon and got nearly two hours of work in. Not a ton of breaks. Was blasting the TS at the end, from a HomePod and two TVs. 😄 
    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.
