I've been Playing Golf for: 15yrs
My current handicap index or average score is: 13
My typical ball flight is: draw
The shot I hate or the "miss" pull hook


Videos: 

ive attatched two videos in slo mo.  My misses are pulles and drives me crazy.  Why am i pulling it?  Is the face shut at impact? Am i rotating hands too much through impact?  The path looks good 

One video is a pull, one is a dead straight

May help to add that in the winter when i go to the indoor simulator and i miss it left the simulator says im coming on a slightly inside path with face shut 4degrees. Drives me crazy. I dont know if its my grip or what.

You have no turn at all except when you try to turn through impact way late. I would work on turning much more and much sooner in the backswing. You want the hips and shoulders to turn on a steeper angle. At the top of the swing your shoulders are parallel to the ground. You typically see them in the mid 30 degree range. 

A good drill for you might be to just not swing a club. Cross your arms over your chest, get into a good set up. Then just turn your body keeping your head steady. That your left shoulder feels like it's pointing between you and the ball. Also that your hips turn more on an incline. 

I would take a look a these threads, 

I would also work on your posture. You look a bit tall in the setup.

    • Day 2: August 12.  I did 25 balls of the ruler drill from LSW for putting.  24 of the 25 stayed on the ruler through 36" but some were smoother than others.  I suspect if the ruler (and goal) had been 48" far fewer would have stayed on.  I'm trying to go by sound, and not look, since when I attempt short putts, I don't want to look (although now I wonder if that's conventional wisdom that turns out to be wrong). 
    • Day 17: did mirror work while watching TV. Working on wrist feels. 
    • Day 315 - 2025-08-12 Got a little work in before Juniors showed up for one of their Summer Sessions.
    • I always knew it as high but never that distance was 90-95% of rating! That has always played to my advantage. I never have but I could totally vanity cap myself by playing **super** long courses that are otherwise super easy. There was one course like that in LA that I used to play that helped my cap like that. The back tees were close to 7k yards, but otherwise the course was incredibly easy. Wide open, misses almost always had a play at the green from the adjacent hole, flat greens, not challenging green complexes, etc. But it got a high rating because it was so long. So I could swing hard, spray and pray, and score well (relative to my handicap).
    • Do need a special ferrul. Thanx 😉
