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!

Videos: 

 

 

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....

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.
