Thank you. So are you suggesting more of a lateral hip slide? Then rotate the hips. I feel like my big issue is retaining shaft lean I'm curious if this would help me.

I'd like to compliment you on keeping your head still.

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

I suggest tanning your cabasa... but seriously, tan that head......kidding....you really need a goatee instead....Okay I will be serious.... I agree with needing a increase on lateral slide and your turn looks like a forced after effect instead of a result of your swing. Head is stationary and nice smooth swing and unless you really have some issues, at a five handi I would just practice consistency, no sense in fixing something that isn't broke.

Thanks a lot guys. I agree with the tanning of the head. Unfor I have had some medical issues who he'd caused the hair to go bye bye. Hopefully it will retur. In a couple of months. I have been working on making a better turn back as I was always an arm swinger so it is a little forced at the moment. Know would a hip bump be pretty much the same thing or do you suggest my whole body move as well?

Sorry about the health issues, at least you can still play golf! :) What are you trying to achieve? More spin or distance? I would guess distance. I work on starting the return swing with a hip shift that makes me feel like it starts pulling the arms into the swing. I know that may be hard to picture but the power gets generated with that shift and the pose should be natural after that. I would look up drills maybe from the golf fix to do this rather than me telling you. I have been changing my swing each year for 3 years now. Every time I do a change it takes some time before I hit it well. My swing now I tried to implement 2 years ago and didn't have enough knowledge to use it. Now I do. Now I need to keep getting more fluid and hone it. Hopefully I am done changing it. I went from hitting a PW 100 yards full swing (horrible flipper) to 137 yard full swing. The really cool part about my current swing is that I no longer feel the ball off the club face and the sound it makes is like a "sizzling" when the ball takes off. I don't know if anyone else experiences this but I like it. It is easy to know when I striped it.

I guess I am wondering if it is worth a drop off that 5 cap if you start trying to do major swing revamp.

Thanks for the help I am going to look into that. In my head its always worth it. I play to get better and will spend try to spend this winter on some issues I have. Thankfully during my swing changes I have yet to play worse so its keeping me positive as well a seeing my swing turn into something better. I guess the best motivation for me is I play with guys who are better then I am. Thanks again guys

Looks good. I wouldn't start fiddling with things like lateral hip slide (unless your hitting it fat all the time) see a pro if you must, but your weight has moved all the way to the left side by the end so I don't see any problems. Where is your miss?

Apart from the fact that he has pirouetted on his left foot! Which means he hasn't maintained his spine angle through impact.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      On my trip at Bandon. I have a couple of best shots come to mind. I had kind of a stupidly good short game shot out of some nasty stuff. I didn't really make any bombs putting.  I could say any drive I hit straight that was hitting directly into the wind, lol. That was nasty. I literally hit a ball like 150 yards right. I am going with my drive on hole 18 at Old MacDonald. 469 yard par 4, down wind. The narrowest fairway on the course, and you have to navigate two sets of bunkers. I stripe one down the middle, catch the slope and have to roll out to about 95 yards to the pin. So yea, that 370-ish drive in the fairway on a 469 par 4 wins the shot of the week.

      Day 2: mirror work while watching some TV. Checking on some backswing stuff primarily - making sure I’m still steep enough in the backswing.

      Day 88 (28 Jul 25) - Short session this afternoon after a full day of yard work at the house.  Worked on setup and tempo thru the shot with the 52° wedge in the backyard.  Hit about 20 balls total - just staying focused on the process.

      Day 10: More putting with the metronome. Short putts feel really slow and long putts feel really fast. Getting more comfortable every day.

      Day 301 - 2025-07-28 Watched a lot of golf today at Fox Chapel, but then came home and did some mirror work. Re-dedicated. Which is saying something, as I've been playing okay. But relying on my athleticism to just do "okay."
