Hi guys,

this is my swing! My scoring average is about 72. I´ve been playing golf for about 7 years.

My bad shoot is kind of a pull draw. I tend to swing a bit out to in.

And in my opinion i´m a  bit layed off at the top! And i tend to let the club drop further. I would love to get the club a bit more in direction of my foot line!What do you guys think suggestions and tips are appreciated

Cheers Ben

Laid off is different things to different people.

You stop short of parallel, so you're not nearly as laid off as you think.

thanks Iacas for your reply !

ok i understand what you´re saying about the laid off problem.

But what do you mean with cleaning up my footwork. I struggle a bit with the correct movement pattern in the downswing. I know i should roll my right foot , but i tend to get on my toes.

So a little bit more lateral shift of my hip should help with the footwork, am i correct??? Do you know a good drill for improving my footwork?

Swinging low and left is a swing thought that helps to steepen the club in the downswing, and would help my body pivot . right?

Thanks Ben

Yep, sorry. Didn't have a ton of time earlier.

Rolling your ankle more, yes. Lots of ways to go about it. Put a bucket in front of your right knee. Put a stick in the ground to prevent your knee from going towards the golf ball too much in the downswing (same as the bucket idea). Consciously roll your ankles. Flip your toes up. Hit some punches from a pre-set position.

Basically a lot of the Key #2 videos will apply for you: http://purestrike5sk.com/videos.php

    • Thanks! Better though? Not worried about overdoing it yet. These were also the best videos of several I took. More to be done for sure but moving in the right direction I think. 
    • Can be out and up a little more. Not quite over-done yet.
    • Down the line and face on from today. Still feeling like I’m sticking the club into a hole in the ceiling above my right shoulder and then big loop inside to start downswing. That’s how it feels. Not how it looks though! Gotta keep working on this for a bit but I see a lot of progress. 😁
    • Day 5 (13 Mar 26) - Friday shootout cancelled- made it a practice round working from mixed tees. Plenty of up and down work around greens.  Best was a hole out birdie on the par 3 #5 hole - nice pitch and roll w/Pw from about 10yds off the green - dead center flagstick drop.  Much of round was focused on getting solid weight shift into lead foot. 
    • Day 208 3-13 Worked on wrist arching and flow. First time hitting reall balls at a range in months. It was nice to see ball flight. Still not sure it beats my backyard practice station.
