Thanks ahead of time!!

I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 16.5

My typical ball flight is: slight fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push-fade or banana balls.

Honestly, I can hit em all....Pull-fades occasionally happen but I usually feel when I'm coming over the top and it's a one-off swing. Occasionally I'll hit some gnarly snap-hooks (usually right after a pull/fade :)

Sometimes the ball goes straight...Sometimes...

I hit good draws too....they just all seem to happen on the range :)

Goal: Consistent draw (isnt that everyone's?)

Grip looks a bit strong to me and the lower body looks pretty tense because the hips aren't turning as fully and freely as they should. You ought to take a gander at these great instructional threads.

and . That will keep you busy for a while. Good luck and welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site.

Get the axis tilt at set-up (angle of the spine away from the target) by having your hips pushed a little forward, not from tipping head back.

Head is too far back and it causes the head to move around a little too much during the backswing.

Gotcha, thanks! Will work on that today. I'll try to quiet the head a little too. Does my swing plane look too flat? Should I come UP more than AROUND in the backswing?

With the head being back too much it'll encourage you to load the club low and in.

Also watch your camera angles.

    • Day 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill. 
    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
    • First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
