Hello, am newbie about 3 months in, and feel really positive about my game and it's improvements... My driving though is like a toss of a coin, good or bad... One of my problems, is when I try and take what feels natural to me a backswing that is above my head (not parallel to the ground) but getting close, the swing plane goes all over the shop, and the shot is terrible!!, as compared to one much lower where I feel that I can be that little bit more consistant and straighter (hitting 200m on the full)...

My question is should I be practising the fuller or bigger swing plane, or focus on smaller swings with a driver?? I don't mind sucking for sometime for the longer view of improvement rather than a short term gain...

Love any thoughts here.

Cheers

Looseleftie

Can you upload a video? I think I could help if I saw what your swing looked like.

    • 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.
