I've been playing golf for over 20 years and have always fought inconsistency with my driver and to a certain degree my iron.  Check out my swing and I would love to hear any thoughts on what might make me a better or more consistent player.  Here are links to two videos of my swing.

It's not that your swing is inconsistent, it is. Read this:

Biggest issue I see is that your head drops down a lot during the backswing and you have to pop up to avoid sticking the club in the ground. Have a buddy hold something against your head as a point of reference so you can get a feel for what a steady head really feels like. Address position could use a bit of tweaking a well. The ball is too far back in the stance and your right shoulder appears a bit higher than it ought to be.

SavvySwede- I appreciate the feedback on my swing.  I've always fought with swaying my hips and that seems to be part of what you're pointing out and might explain the head movement.  I started playing the ball back in my stance because my ball flight was really high.  I'm really going to work on trying to fix the head drop in the backswing and see if that also fixes the ball flight.

I'd start with your grip, looks very weak, especially with the left hand. Cleaning that up will certainly help you hit it more solid.

    • Day 194: July 4th Putting through 50 mm gates. Tried a few dry swings but elbow pain shut that down.
    • @boogielicious, @WillieT, @StuM - thanks for the kind words.  Felt patriotic getting an eagle on the 4th! Lucky with the start word.
    • Got the Stack in November 2022, but my workouts with it have been sparse. I’ve never completed a program and I only do Return to Form because my body hasn’t felt great enough to do them often. Thankfully that is changing now finally. I’ve spent two years doing regular needle work, nonstop gym workouts for three years, and over the last six months, a lot of stretching. My doctor graded me an F for mobility six months ago. He checked me again this week and gave me an A++ for improvement. Huge restoration of mobility in my hips, lumbar spine, thoracic spine and hamstrings. It’s helping so much for golf and of course speed. I still have a ways to go here but I’m probably at a B to Rory’s A+ for mobility. I haven’t done much speed training but clearly I’m getting faster. Pretty happy to be where I am right now despite only scratching the surface of this. Hoping I can continue to build here. My goal is to start and complete the Foundation soon. Fingers crossed! When I came back to golf two years ago, I was around 88 mph with driver. Now my cruising speed is about 99 with a recent high of 104 mph during my range session on Saturday. Pretty exciting 😀. Okay, time for another round of burgers. I appreciate this thread and everyone’s respective journeys here. Happy 4th of July, everyone! 🇺🇸💥✨🌭🍔
    • Day 25:  Went to the range super early before it got too hot.  Hit a couple buckets, one with my 7i and one with my driver.  
    • An incredible video that I encourage you to watch. I didn't know the PGA Tour's Apple Vision Pro app was so cool.
