My Swing (carri10)

[carri10]

Hiya All

I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years - with a 5 year kid break

My current handicap index or average score is: 18
My typical ball flight is: pull/pull draw
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pull draw

Current swing thoughts are

-Posture don't arch back and neck

-Start backswing with right ass cheek

-Just rotate on the way back, don't sway to the right

-downswing - rotate body, rotate, rotate...ROTATE!

-impact try to drive club face forward (impact bag feeling) not flip

Not all at the same time, of course!

The hand signals show the ball flight on DTL.

This is a 6I

This is a selection of shots, I've not given you the highlights real.

Shank happens once every 20-30

Push every 15-20

over draw every other shot.

From second Evolvr lesson, I was told to move left shoulder down in the backswing.  I assume to get more angle in my shoulders during pivot.

Problem is this led to a lot of fat shots.  Really fat.  Is this right and my body will gradually accommodate, or have I got the action wrong?

Your body will learn to do this, yes.

Right now you "dive" down to the ball to start your downswing… because your left shoulder goes up during the backswing. So you dive back down to "get back" to where you need to be, the proper distance from the ball.

In other words you backed up eight inches, and so you re-gain the 8".

Now you're not backing up eight inches (maybe just one or two), so even if you dive only three or four inches, you're now closer to the ball than ever.

Wow.  Putting the lines on the video doesn't make my swing look any prettier!  Really useful insight.

Having practiced this a little at the range, I can really feel how much I used to lift up.  I'm also feeling more turn of the hips during backswing.  Contact is much worse for the moment, but I'll battle through....
