My Swing (ksinghvirk)

[ksinghvirk]

Some background: Competitive high school player, went to college and hardly played, now graduated and getting back into it. Pretty long hitter (6 iron ss is 95-96, carry that ~195)

Took this video recently, didn't realize how flat my swing had become. I always struggled a fade, so I've been working on creating an in-->out path, and I guess being that flat is the by-product. It evolved to me hitting big hook, so I weakened my grip when I took this video.

I keep jumping between having solid impact, and hitting the ball my usual distance, and hitting the ball very high and weak. In this video, all my irons were about 2 clubs shorter than normal. Some days I do, others I don't

I also struggle with fat shots, and shots off the heel.

What are some good drills for me to get to impact with the hands leading? I think my posture might be breaking down and could be causing all these problems? (the flip, fat shots, heel shots).

The hands are just reacting to what is going on with the pivot. You need to get more weight forward on the downswing. That will help with getting the path more OUTward and with the high/weak/fat shots.

Turn the left foot out a few more degrees and work on this feel.

In addition to what Mike said…

- More upright path (don't worry so much about taking the hands behind you during the backswing)

- More dynamic downswing (lower body stuff) - What Mike said above.

- Change up the posture too - back up from the ball a bit and get off your heels.
