Cheers mate,

I might give that a go . Might produce a bit more balance and stability throughout the swing

Yeah mate exactly that think my hips sway causing all sorts of problems I must say I do feel more ballenced through swing having a knock in morning so hopefully less yips lol

Hope all goes well for you buddy

Your pull is caused by going after it to early in your swing from the top. The cure is to hit 5 iron 130 yards and making softer 75% swings. By not loading up to the top you will develop the understanding of the bottom of your swing timing. Right now your are chopping wood and really going after it from the top and can only be cured by feeling the bottom of your swing.

A face-on video is really pretty necessary here. You likely don't have much of a hip slide/bump or transition your weight forward much at all.

    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.

    • Day 18: drill swing in my garage after getting home from work. 
    • Day 32 (12 Dec 25) - What was the Friday shootout became a practice round due to lack of enough players (temps kept a lot of the regulars home).  Used it to dial in some playing distances as I played back a set of tees to force alternate club selections.  Plenty of long approaches - every club was put into action thru the course is 18 holes. Was not a GiR day but rather nGIR (5 up and down pars).  Pin placement was tough - the smallest miss would see the ball roll just as far past or even off the green.  Was a great day of battling what the course was dealing. Overall - I finished 5 strokes over my average score of 86.
