I've been Playing Golf for: fifteen years

My current handicap index or average score is: 90ish haven't posted a score in over a year

My typical ball flight is: High (ballooning)

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: trying to end the "flip"

I have been working with very small swings (1/4-1/2) for a couple weeks now. I still can't get to a good impact position with a full swing. I am open to any and all feedback.

Alrighty, so your swing looks better than mine does haha, I'll leave any discussion to those with more knowledge than I have!

You actually don't seem to flip that badly.. It looks like you don't make a full shoulder turn though which can cause issues (unless you have some sort of physical limitation that is). Edit: it looks better in your second video though.. First thing you should look at is your posture (too much of an s curve in your back) and key number one.. Take a look at the thread about the centered pivot.. I'll attach links to other information once I get a chance to get to a computer.. Good luck!

Thanks for the pointers. We are definitely working on more shoulder turn. I have never considered spine curve at address, maybe worth looking into.

I have been a little lax in my practice as the weather is starting to be uncooperative quickly and I want to play....

Although I see improvement I am still having trouble with core rotation. I don't feel like I am getting my hips and shoulder open enough.

On the bright side I have been making much better ball contact with a fairly predictable flight.

I can still hit my 3w straighter and further than my driver (on average) and desperately need help with that...

Any help from you smart fellers would be greatly appreciated!

    • First going to spain for a long weekend in March probably going to play La Quinta, Los Arqueros and Fina Cortesin, and first week in May will compete in the Crawsnest Tassie at Carnoustie golf links, that will be a full week of golf golf golf and more golf. Did play it last year for the first time and it is awesome.
    • Scrubs is coming back to ABC. February 25.
    • Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well. 
    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
