@The Taco take a close look at the right foot in both vids. Your swing with the hybrid, your heel stays low, swing looks very good. The driver swing, you raise the heel very high. When you have that much rotation, it requires a repetitive timing and great balance to make square contact every swing. It should also enable you to get to your right side and weight transfer quicker. Pulls are common when a player lags behind the ball slightly when the timing is slightly off.

@iacas and @mvmac may and usually comment. They are Pro's who can detect and offer proper guidance.

Do you have any face on view swings @The Taco?

Shoulders and hips look like they aren't turning steep enough on the backswing causing you to make some compensations on the downswing.

Good video to check out.

I have been meaning to stop raising the heel on driver.   Will play around with it.  

 

face on view.   

Never looked at myself this way.  

What am I doing wrong? Flight/contact is decent.  Not pulling nearly as much as last year.

Your hips sway back (away from the target) on the backswing. First thing I would do is turn both feet out which will help with the hip turn.

Working on stopping hip sway.   Better contact.  Better speed. Better looking.   

 

 

Thanks MVMAC

    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
