I've been Playing Golf for: 17 years
My current handicap index or average score is: about an 8
My typical ball flight is: high
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Don't generate a lot of power and always dip down towards the ball then lift up.  I want to fix this dip and generate more power.

I FO video will help, try to add one.  

Your head is dipping down on the first half of the downswing and then you rise up from A3 to A4 and then dip back down on the way from A4 to impact. It may help to work on the backswing to try to try to stabilize all that so your hitting from a more stable position. Film a FO video for us. I'd like to see what your head and upper body are doing laterally. As long as you get back to where you started, you can hit good shots but it makes it harder than necessary and if you miss time it and don't get back, it can cause low point issues and compensations. 

Yours in earnest, Jason.

@jemintherough,

I would reshoot the video at a better angle. Place the camera about waist height and pointing down the toe line. It's tough to see what is going on with the angle you are showing. 

I agree with @Ernest Jones a face on view would be beneficial to see.

    • GEARS Hybrid session today. My quick notes… (mostly for me, but feel free to ask any questions you've got): First… working on limiting the pelvis turn. Clearly, I can do this when I want to do it. 🙂 This is just before the end of the backswing. Pelvis sway is a bit too big, though. Worked on that a bit more… As I noted, though the thrust is good, the laterals were getting a bit too big so my axis tilt was thrown off a little bit. Axis tilt and hip turn doing okay here. Right elbow could be better, but not worried about it today. I only made nine swings (with some rehearsals). GEARS Hybrid lets you work through things really quickly. Ignoring the downswing (it's still January!), this backswing was pretty good. Really happy with this one. This shows an inch of movement early, then starting to re-center during the backswing. Even the right image is before P4. This shows my pelvis trace from above on swing 9: go right, hang out there, and then go left during the end of the backswing. VERY linear. I'm apparently pretty good at this. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
    • Day 13 (31 Jan. 26) - Due to the nice snow storm, opted to do mirror work focused on  the trail knee shift to load weight onto ball and heel of trail foot going from P3 thru P5. 
    • Day 171 1-31 Good practice session today. Worked more on flow and a shortwr pause at the top of the backswing/arching wrist.  
    • Day 29: 2026.01.31 Played 18. Semi finals of team matchplay so wasn't finishing out every hole and was more focused on score than process/swing so probably not the most productive round.
