Welcome to the site. First, I like your username! Second, like a lot of us, you need to get your weight going more forward in the downswing so it is forward at impact. Below is you at setup, A1, and impact, A7. Because your hips did not move forward on the downswing, you had to flip to make good contact.

First thing to try is flare your feet out at set up. This helps the backswing turn and helps getting your lower body moving forward. See the thread below.

Second, getting our weight forward at impact is key to making consistent good contact. The video below is a great drill to try to learn the feeling and position you want to have at impact.

Thanks for joining!

A very athletic swing for a newbie.  Try to put more weight on your left side and work on flexibility.  You will be beating most people in no time.

Thanks for the info. I'll be working on those drills and will post another video when I feel like I've improved.

    • Day 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill. 
    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
    • First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
