I know it`s been mentioned already.

Your right hand and arm are over-powering the club.

Try pushing the club back with your left hand and resting your right hand in a neutral position on the club - just like holding an egg.

Firm but not tight enough to crush it.

Thanks Steve, I'm going to work on my grip next. The most success I am having with changing my game is working on one thing at a time. A super strong grip is def a tough thing to change too haha, i'm finding that out the hard way

Awesome!  How does it feel?  Feeling different is a good thing, means you're making changes.  The turning rates definitely looks better.

It feels good, feels like I'm letting my body do more of the work(hips and shoulders) rather than the arms. I picked up 5 yards on all of my irons too.  Next I'm going to try to work on my weakening my ultra strong grip.  I'm semi reluctant to do this because I am hitting if fairly straight. Do you think changing my release(go ahead and release the hands sooner) along with weakening the grip will produce the best results mike?

I think if you're hitting it good, fairly straight, don't change the grip for now.

It's been a year since I updated my swing on here guys.  I worked on cleaning up my setup and increasing turning rates this summer.  Recently shot 80, 72, 77 in my club championship.  Any help or criticism offered on my swing is appreciated.

I'm in no position to give you golf tips.

However, my advice to you is this...

TURN THE CAMERA HORIZONTALLY!!!! :-P

It's hard to tell with his cargo shorts, but I would like to know what Mike and other say about his right knee that appears to straighten on the backswing.  It looks like it is causing some spine side-tilt and weight balance issues.

Dude...turn the camera horizontally, it will get rid of the huge black bars on both sides of your video.

Swing looks pretty good IMO. What are your misses? What are you working on?


haha sorry about the camera.  Thanks.  normal ball flight is straight or a small cut.  My bigger misses are an occasional pull hook, a handfull in 18 holes.  Working on cleaning up posture and increasing turning rates.

Im still struggling with this mvmac,  thanks for the video. I don't like how i have some left arm breakdown and the right flexes a little too much.  Whats the best feeling to stop this?? Also in the video my head just on the downswing moves backwards, probably compensating for an issue in my swing place.  I'm a low ball hitter.  Play with a group of 20 guys from scratch to 12-14 handicaps and I have one of the lowest ball flights of them all
