You seem to be whipping the club too far too the inside and the club becomes stuck... The clubface is shut however this doesn't mean anything unless it relates to a club path angle.

Now, the main problem is whipping the club to the inside because the club becomes stuck... You can now only go either over-the-top or under the plane. Your club then goes further inside which means that the only place your club can go is out to the right. This is okay however combine this with a shut club and you will hit huge hooks.

I would say you best is to work on a 'one piece' takeaway as you seem to be overusing your wrists when starting your swing... and working on getting steeper on the way back and more in front of you so the club drops significantly less to the inside in the transition and you will be able to hit a controlled draw this way... maybe even a fade!


@g30rg35m1th is on the right track. In the start of your backswing you bring the club too far inside. Once that club is behind you, you will forever be trying to get it in front of you. Here is a shot comparing you to someone who does it really well.

You can start working on this and we can move on to some other things.

    • Day 10: 2/16/2025 Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.  My new priority pieces. 
    • Day 26 (16 Feb 25) - Basically a repeat of yesterday- only it was a bit more expanded chips/pitches - 7i, 9i, 50° and 58°.   Big exception was I was hitting groups of 5 one club at a time.  Focused on a specific target point - and coming smoothly through the ball, not punchy.  Got it right about 3 out of 5 - more work needed. 
    • You probably haven't turned much and instead have just pulled your left arm across your chest.
    • Things didn’t work out with the cutting horse barn my wife was working for there in Virginia. Their Texas facility we were supposed to move down to ended up delayed for at least an extra year after they’d had us leave Virginia to meet them down there “shortly”. So we ended up getting some land by her family in Missouri and building a house of our own down here instead. Not as many courses, but there is one 5 minutes from the house that’s only $62/mo for both of us to be members at and other nicer ones within a reasonable drive as well.    @Rick_D I’ll try to remember to let you know when I’m heading up that direction. It may happen more frequently in the coming year since a dealer for a business I started recently is based out of St Charles so making deliveries myself might be more economical than shipping. 
    • I don’t know why my swing got so vertical there. That wasn’t normal.    What did you mean by point 3? I get the hip turn portion.
