I've been Playing Golf for: 20 years, Avidly the last 12 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 6
My typical ball flight is: baby draw
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Slight pull draw


Hello Folks,

Here is a DL video of my swing and just wanted to get everyone's opinion or tips to eliminate the occasional pull shots. Ive lived in Pinehurst NC most of my life and have been very fortunate to get to play over at the Resort every weekend. I'm playing in a Captains Choice on #2 tomorrow which is always a pleasure. My game has been alittle rusty this past year with the birth of my son. Its hard to find time to get out to the range now!

Ive always played with a very strong grip and slight closed club face. I have great tempo and my misses tend to happen when I get to fast or try to jump on a shot. From the looks of the video, seems like I have a bit of chicken wing going on with my right arm at the top?

Any tips or swing thoughts are much appreciated.

It helps to see face-on video too.

Your turning rates appear to be relatively slow in the backswing. Lots of arms, less from turning.

Yeah check this out @mdaugherty24. Might need to feel like the swing is "all pivot" and less arms. 

Turn the body more earlier and keep the upper parts of your arms ("pressure points") connected. Will help you sync up the arms with the pivot.

    • 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.
