I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 90

My typical ball flight is: Draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Block/ cut

Excuse the audio on the driver swing my buddy was excited because we were playing team match play.

This one I caught a little fat

Some DTL footage from today at the range. I'm still working on keeping the hips centred. I tried fanning out the front foot and back foot but felt uncomfortable with the back foot fanned out. However, I still found I was moving off the ball with the square back foot. Should I just suck it up and keep the duck stance or can i maybe improvise something that would allow me to keep my back foot square (other than improving flexibility which I am working on)

Looks much better, more stable with the hands and arms at the top of the backswing.  Regarding the right foot, you're more likely to move off the ball with a square foot.  With the foot flared out, your knees can change flex, which your hips can turn, which means they can stay centered.  It's good that it feels uncomfortable, just means you're making a change.  Just don't flare it more than 20 degrees.

Could cause the lower center to move too far forward too fast on the downswing, right shoulder stalls, causing the swing path to be too far out to the right, inconsistent contact.

    • 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.
