My Swing (coop6)

[coop6]

Hello,

I've been Playing Golf for: 16
My current handicap index or average score is: 0
My typical ball flight is: Straight/Slight Fade (over cut with driver)
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Hate the fade/over fade

I've starting working with a MORAD instructor over the last 4 months.  I use to be really flat and laid off, deep right arm with a lot of face rotation.  I now get the club very steep in the transition and get the club way above the rt forearm plane at P5.5-6.  I look forward to any insight.  When I try and shallow it I get my rt arm moving behind me and get narrow (get a lot more space between elbows).  We're working on lagging the club both in the caddy view and DTL view while working on my pivot.  Video is sideways, please help!

Thanks

So, your hands drop down and this pushes your right elbow too far around and behind you, so then the only way you have to get the clubhead to the ball is to swing left and over it.

As the hips begin to slide (and rotate) forward, the left arm and the butt of the club should feel like they're coming down toward the golf ball, but also quite a bit farther OUT toward the golf ball, too.

I need to feel as though I'm coming over it at the top while laying the club down... I understand the concept, dang muscle memory sucks sometimes lol. My sense/feeling to get it inside is to drop hands and swing to the rt. I know that's wrong, but that's what my body does lol.

 

Thanks for the insight! I appreciate all.

Taking your hands out can help lay the shaft down.

I have to make sure I'm not "pushing" with my rt arm at the same tune, more pulling with the left arm and pivot. Thanks!

Pulling with the left arm will make your swing steep.

Feels will differ from player to player but be careful with the "pulling" feel. Can lead you to cup the left wrist and move the hands down without enough "out".

What feeling would you suggest? I appreciate the advice. I'd love to have more of a Robert Rock/ Mac O translation with hands going more out and club flattening. I look forward to the response.

The "out" is the important part. More out, less "down."

Make sure you are sliding your hips forward during the start of the downsing.

@coop6 forgot to say welcome to TST. Is the winter time the only time a golf pro has to work on their game?  

Looks like a beautiful private course you have in Atlanta. Which course are you at?

Oh, great swing by the way, sure you'll get things in order.

One last question, noticed you wear a glove using the big dog, but not with irons?

I'd film yourself getting into the correct positions and taking note of what you felt to do it. I would also recommend feeling the right arm/elbow working "under" as the right arm gradually straightens down to the ball (or a spot in front of the ball).

Thank you! I work at Capital City Club. 

 

I I wear gloves with everything. I just happened to not wear one that time.

 

I always work on mine, just more time to focus on the winter due to no tournaments until late Feb or early Mar. 

Thanks, swing is coming along. I played in the Sanderson Farm PGA Tour event back in Nov. and hit it poorly, said I have to fix my flaws once and for all!

I've don't all of the above. I get caught up in one thing and forget the other. I focus on squeezing the elbows together but def need to feel the club go out more. I never stick with that move even though all the MOrAD guys have a left arm through the left shoulder in P5. I need that and thanks for reminding me.

I'm playing golf tomorrow but will try and get a video of the hips sliding forward while feeling the hands go out at about 25,50,75 and then 100% effort. I'll see where it breaks down. Hopefully not until 75% lol.
