I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: Don;t Keep one

My typical ball flight is: Pull with the shorter clubs and Hook with the longer clubs

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: A Pull and a Hook


The following videos are from the last 3 months. I'm located north of the board so I've had to head indoors in the last one.

First off I was just fitted a month ago for new clubs, didn't end up buying anything but had my clubs bent because there were to upright. I was told that was the biggest factor in the Pulls and Hooks. Anyways just looking for everyone's thoughts about my move and any potential problems you see. Also anyone know why in the last month my follow-through has become more "chicken winged" In all videos I'm hitting the same 58 degree wedge with a 64 degree lie.

Videos:

Nov. 2012

This is the swing I think I liked the most. It seemed very round (inside to inside) but produced the biggest pulls. I had to open the face 5 degrees and pull it back on target, but I believed that was lie angle related. Also I was told by a pro that I was standing a little to far away from the ball and was reaching a bit.

Dec. 2012

This was a fluke day in the middle of December where all the snow had melted and  we had 50 degree weather. I had tweaked the swing to try and keep my right heel down a little longer.

Jan. 2013

I hate hitting off mats. This was taken yesterday and I am really starting to notice a "left arm wing". I also noticed I am starting to stand closer to the ball and Swing more upright. Since the lie angle of this club was never adjusted I am wondering if the high toe on the mat is more prominent and causing me to hold off a release to "not go left".

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

In those outside vids.  Do you have your dog trained to pick up balls for you?

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
