All in all I'm looking to improve my ball striking. Wouldn't mind gaining distance but that will come with better contact. Hoping next year to play in some local amateur tournaments and wouldn't mind shooting a decent number lol.

Your front foot pivots. I think it's because your weight is more on the heel. I have this problem as well, and my lead foot pivots at the end of my swing sometimes.

Hi cts,

sorry, I couldn't see the ball. I noticed you spin round the left heel through the hit by about 30°. I'm not one to over-analyse but its one thing that I find simplifies the swing as it reduces sway and over rotation of the hips and shoulders.

My miss is either a push or is heavy

Ok well that's excatly my problems, ill tell you what helps me with these things, standing too close to the ball and sliding my hips laterally on the backswing, which causes them too sway back on the downswing causing a push or not sliding and hitting it fat, when I turn in the backswing (as you do we'll in this video) it's a nice little draw. Just any hip slide completely f's me up. But that's just me

I find turning my feet out 5* right foot and 30* left foot helps

Yeah the spin out has always been my bad habit that I need to fix for good. I may try practicing with my left heal off the ground that way I can't spin on it. I go for a lesson tomorrow lets see what we can come up with.

I saw Ernie Els do it on one of the youtube videos. Not sure if it is a problem per say, as long as it happens after impact.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
