Welcome to the forum. Thanks for posting. i hope that was a foam ball! I didn't see too much in that video other than your shoulders being a little flat while turning. For the driver, what is your ball position relative to your front foot? It would help if you posted a face on and down the line video with the driver if that is what you want to improve most. Check out this thread. [CONTENTEMBED=/t/77244/how-to-hit-a-driver-hit-it-further-and-stop-slicing layout=inline]​[/CONTENTEMBED] It could be something as simple as moving the ball forward in your stance to get the angle of attack near zero or positive. That takes spin off the ball.

Yes, it's a wiffle ball.  It won't break anything.

What do you mean by shoulders being flat?  Like my right shoulder should be lower than my left?

Look at the shoulder plane in this video below. This is one of our resident great instructors @mvmac The left shoulder goes down and right shoulder up in the back swing. Your shoulders are flatter. this may not be your issue, but just something I noticed. [VIDEO]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=29sQ5L8w1xM[/VIDEO]

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
