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.

I see you didn't listen to my vital swing tips.


Haha sorry i promise it wont happen again!

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

      Our Men's Business League Starts Tonight With an Interesting Local Rule.

      By snapfade ·

      This is the first time I have played in this league but here is an interesting local rule they use. You are allowed to move your ball one score card length in either direction to improve your lie. Scorecard has to be in the folded position though. I love beachside golf. The other rule is you got to walk unless you have a handicap placard.

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      By snapfade ·

      PGAT is all about Scottie right now and rightfully so. The PGAT has it's star right now and some potential good guys hoping Scottie takes some time off.  The LIV guys are of the radar until the PGA. There will be the Rory/ Hovland rumors to keep the fire smoldering until then.  You will probably get your wish as time moves on. What I like most about LIV is they are funded by a regime that has numerous human rights violations and the players don't seem to care. The fans certainly don't seem to mind. I admit, I went to LIV Miami to check it out, it wasn't empty.  I didn't see anyone protesting.

      Shotscope V5 Watch

      Hmmm, seems odd. I have ordered several things from them and have never had an issue, so I'm confident it will be resolved. I'm sending the watch back, I don't care for it, Ill just use the H4. There's nothing technically wrong with it, I just don't like it.
