I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year
My current handicap index or average score is: average score is 87
My typical ball flight is: right to left
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slice/push with longer clubs especially driver and 3 wood

 

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Welcome! I'd recommend filming some better camera angles, makes it much easier to analyze what's going on.

Sorry for the short response… busy night. Anyway…

  • Watch the setup. Very wide, square feet, and no secondary axis tilt (with a driver?) by having the hips forward and the head back a little.
  • Look up some threads here about turning. Your stance doesn't help, but you don't turn as much as you can. Shoulder turn is < 90° it appears (though I didn't download and look at it frame by frame).

I'm not sure if I understand the part about the hips forward and the head back a little? Are you saying that I am doing that in my set up or that I should in order to help my swing? 

 

Thank you again, this has been extremely helpful!

You have no axis tilt. You're very straight up and down. Good drivers often have their hips forward a little and that creates a little tilt away from the target.

Not a lot, but a little goes a long way.

I also feel as though my trail hip is firing too early in my downswing. Do you see that as a problem or should working on the axis tilt be more beneficial? Also when looking at my swing in the frame by frame I feel like my arms are chicken winged to some degree.

I'd work on what I suggested. Setup and turning rates on the backswing.

      The Stack System - A Conversation on Gaining Swing Speed

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Got the Stack in November 2022, but my workouts with it have been sparse. I’ve never completed a program and I only do Return to Form because my body hasn’t felt great enough to do them often. Thankfully that is changing now finally. I’ve spent two years doing regular needle work, nonstop gym workouts for three years, and over the last six months, a lot of stretching. My doctor graded me an F for mobility six months ago. He checked me again this week and gave me an A++ for improvement. Huge restoration of mobility in my hips, lumbar spine, thoracic spine and hamstrings. It’s helping so much for golf and of course speed. I still have a ways to go here but I’m probably at a B to Rory’s A+ for mobility. I haven’t done much speed training but clearly I’m getting faster. Pretty happy to be where I am right now despite only scratching the surface of this. Hoping I can continue to build here. My goal is to start and complete the Foundation soon. Fingers crossed! When I came back to golf two years ago, I was around 88 mph with driver. Now my cruising speed is about 99 with a recent high of 104 mph during my range session on Saturday. Pretty exciting 😀. Okay, time for another round of burgers. I appreciate this thread and everyone’s respective journeys here. Happy 4th of July, everyone! 🇺🇸💥✨🌭🍔

      Day 25:  Went to the range super early before it got too hot.  Hit a couple buckets, one with my 7i and one with my driver.

      An incredible video that I encourage you to watch. I didn't know the PGA Tour's Apple Vision Pro app was so cool.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 609, July 4, 2024 Went to Golf Evolution to replace the batteries in one UPS, add another UPS, and to practice. Felt good about what I was doing, so kept it to a focused, tight 25-minute session.

      The Bear: Did Season 3 Deepen Its Flavors, or Just Reheat Leftovers? Despite some high points, Season 3 of 'The Bear' felt like a step sideways for the Hulu culinary dramedy — read our review, and grade it in our poll. That almost perfectly says what I thought about season 3.
