Took a lesson today, pro pointed out that i should rotate my shoulders more starting my backswing. Like most of you suggested. Results, more stability, consistency, great!

Update

 

 

trying to get my club more on plane. Removing THE cupped position at top of backswing.

any remarks? Ideas?

 

I would worry less about the cupped wrist and concentrate more on Key 3. You are flipping at impact. Below are a couple of videos that may help.

Yes! Practice slowly. Get used to the impact positions in the video I attached and swing at 1/4, 1/2 speed. Think of the sensation of hitting through the ball and not trying to scoop the ball into the air. Let the club do the work!

i got a feeling that much of that flipping is due to backswing faults ie, dropping my head, left knee going forward instead of right. And then sliding way forward. Instead of turning.

Still need to get my upperbody a bit more over the ball. Instead of leaning back.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
