HELLO! I have played golf for 10 years but i just now started getting serious. I wanna be mid 70s player next summer, now im low 80s. I think mostly i need to get more consistent. Especially my drives get me in rhe trouble every now and then. Typical ball flight with irons is draw, but driver is different everytime, if i try to hit it straight. Im 22 years old. [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHCfZBR5Ka0[/VIDEO] First iron shot went a bit too right and sliced slightly. Second iron was good, and driver waa a good shot. Thanks in advance! Looking forward to ur answers. I wanna improve!!

Your setup seems a little off. to much knee flex i think. it is a lot better on your driver swing tho.

what i see also is kind off the same problem i have, the whole body seems to get behind the ball

on the back swing. if i only knew how to fix this. haha. I try to work on it at the range by putting an alignment stick in the ground next to my right hip and try not to hit it with my hip as i make the backswing. Takes loads off time but it's improving slightly. I just can't take it to the course for now

Yeah that "whole body behind the ball" type of thing might be the reason why i tend to have such a high spin on my drives. And they tend to get really high. Iron shots ive been much better tho at keeping balls under control. For now, irons are the best area of my game. Worst is hybrids and fairway woods. Actually, i odnt even use fairway woods/hybrids because my irons are very long so after 260 yard drive i hit my iron 3 about 220-230, so i have been able to make good scores by using only a driver and irons. Thanks for feedback! I feel like for now this is the only way i can evolve my swing, since im already 22 and i cant get free junior coaching from my club anymore. So thats why your feedback is very important :) Wish i had played golf in HS but in Finland its more like you choose one sport and stick with it, so i always played bball, and only golfed couple rounds on summers thru my childhood.

      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?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
