I've been Playing Golf for:​ Playing for 15yrs off and on, been playing weekly for the past 2yrs My current handicap index or average score is: Currently playing to a 12 handicap My typical ball flight is: a mid flight The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pushing the ball right It's funny how we always head to the course thinking we got it figured out or we're gonna try something different. Golf is definitely a constant work in progress. I don't think there is another activity that has so much fun and frustration packed into 4 hrs. Anyways heres my hack [video]http://youtu.be/dHbArx83jBY[/video]

@bentvalve it looks like you are not transferring weight forward into impact.  I would guess you may have some low point issues with your irons as well.  Maybe hitting shots fat every now and then?

Check out this thread here:

I also think a good recommendation for you would be to try this drill:

Thanks Cipher for the input and the link, you mentioned that I might have an issue hitting it fat from time to time. I took a lesson awhile back and the instructor taught me the "stack and tilt" on my loftier clubs (8i on up) which seemed to help with my accuracy a bit and actually took a consistent 4 to 5 strokes off my game. Now it seems as though the "stack and tilt" is leaking down to my long irons and I have been hitting shots fat!!

@bentvalve - your camera is a little too far to the right for good analysis. Try to line it up so it is shooting directly down your toe line. This will make it easier for people to see what's really going on and to provide good advice.

Also, as it appears that your priority piece is most likely tied to weight shift (Key#2 as @cipher pointed out) you should try to upload some face-on video which is generally more helpful for diagnosing key#2 issues.

Good luck and happy golfing!

Yours in earnest, Jason.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
    • Day 26 (6 Dec 25) - Another day of rainy weather - got in some mirror work rehearsing forward weight shift as finishing back swing.
