Hey everyone,
I recently have made a fairly significant swing change and so far results are looking to be in the right direction. Although, my new swing is making good results on my iron game, I am still struggling with the new swing on my woods and driver. Should my swing remain the same for all clubs (alignment obvious changes for each club) or should my swing for my woods differ slightly? Any thoughts? Any tips?

Thanks ahead for your replies!
Steve

I try and make the same swing with every club in the bag. Obviously a flop shot or punch would require a special swing, but for my standard high fade I just take the same swing with gap wedge through driver. Usually the results are completely different, but trying to make your muscles change every other shot would be difficult for anybody.

How about you tell us:

a) what you were doing b) what changes you've made c) what results you've seen with the new swing with both your irons and woods?

Wow, i'm running it to the exact same problems.

I was told at first to keep my left elbow locked straight. While doing this I i could not draw the club back very far. Now I've "re-vamped" my swing to where i tuck my right elbow in on the back swing and i've started hitting the ball straighter and further (on my irons). I just got my new driver (in sig.) yesterday and went to the range, and this swing doesn't work well with it. My OLD driver (quadpro 8.5), this worked fine.

About 1/3 shots was good with my driver, meaning distance was 220-250 and VERY straight. The others were either short and straight, or far and slicing.

I know i'm doing something different and not swinging consistently, i'm going to sign up for lessons next week to see if they can't help me fix this. Unless you guys have some miracle tips that help on the course tomorrow!!!
I'm only at 13 clubs in the bag, what do you reccomend as a 14th? My foot wedge?

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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?
