I chunk like crazy. I hate it. I really hate when I do it. I think its cause I let my right side of the body do to much work and it doesn't feel smooth. I just want to fix it. I don't take a really long backswing or anything so i just don't get it.

i'm a natural chunker too! And as all beginners do, I get late on weight shift to the front and end up chunking it badly. It has been like that until recently when my dad gave me the best advice. Never make full swing with iron, like the driver swing. Rather, only make the back swing about 70% of a full swing while keeping my right foot and knee firm through out the back swing.

straighten your left elbow on your backswing, tuck your right elbow to your side, and push your left wrist out like you're opening a door (when you're in the backswing, palm should be facing behind you). Usually when I start screwing up shots I just concentrate on those 3 things and I get back in my rhythm.

Some of these thoughts can create huge problems.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
