On line lesson - still can't get it

[Sandhills Golfer]

This is getting very frustrating. I've had lessons in the past and I recently took an on line lesson. The feedback always make sense, I just can't execute the instructions. I normally shoot around 95 and have been playing for 10+ years. 

In this last review, the pro suggested that I am overswing and the club can never catch up to a proper impact. He said, to keep the club head pointed to the target line on the backswing, then cock it at 45 degrees and then at the top, point the butt end of the club at the target line.  It does put you in a decent position. It is just not easy to think of three things in a back swing. I would agree on the overswinging part. So, if anyone had any tips/drill to shorten the swing, it would be appreciated.

 

Thx, SG

Try turning back no farther than you can comfortably come to rest.  Overs-swinging can be understood as exceeding the limits of your flexibility.  If you, me, or anyone else, takes the club too far back...the downswing begins with a rebound at the top.   That can initiate a cascade of muscle reactions that are next to impossible to sequence properly.  We might get away with it once in a while; but it isn't a reliable way to go about things.   The same holds true for not taking the club back far enough...either way the pass forward gets off on the wrong foot.
