I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: Not sure (I typically shoot mid-80s)

My typical ball flight is: slight draw or fade, depending on the day

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Shots that randomly come up 10 yards short (This 7 iron from 174 yards out lands just short of green)


Videos:


Yes, they tend to be heavy and higher, especially with my wedges (52 and 56).  I am 6'4 and my clubs were handed down from someone much shorter than me.  Could it be the shaft length?


Also, I realize that one shot with an iPhone doesn't help those trying to help me out.  I'll work on getting more shots at different angles with a better quality camera.  Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

Tough to say for sure, many different variables, length, shaft flex.  I'll just go go by what I see in the video.  Looks like the left shoulder is rising too soon on the downswing, making the head and upper body tip back.  So you kinda flip, slightly fat, high shots.  I think it might be good to feel more pressure towards the toes of your left foot on the downswing.  That will help the shoulder and hip slants not level out too soon.

    • 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.
