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 329 - More full swings, focusing on the finish. Started with half swings, finished with full swings.
    • Day 146: mirror work again. Working on the same backswing stuff. 
    • Didn’t get back to a decent routine in November and December as planned.  I really need to get up earlier and get to the 7 am CrossFit class… but I’m too tired. Right now getting in 3 times a week. Going to get some swing speed exercises in too.  January-April should be Monday - Friday, load up on supplements too.
    • “The stuff legends are made of…” 😁 As long as OEM’s keep replacing them…. But if it cracks 2 years in, you’re screwed on the warranty. the Cobra Dark Speed driver gets rave reviews.  Haven’t heard of breakage issues.  Taylormade now came out with the Qi35 heads.  Absolutely stunning but it’s a carbon fiber sole as well as the face and crown.  I guess we’ll see.
    • Day 71 - 2024-12-10 I spent three minutes trying to figure out when someone started calling me Yoda, even though he remains the only person to call me Yoda… then in a hotel room, I spent ten minutes while watching the 2019 Masters on YouTube (the TV doesn't have Golf Channel) working on my wrist conditions.
