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 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow. 
    • Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills. 
    • That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness. 
    • Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.    
    • Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
