Hi all, 
I've been Playing Golf for: 23 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 13 handicap
My typical ball flight is: Low Draw
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Fading and Push Fade/Slice

Videos: 

I've been using a Honma year 1991 blade for 10+ years before finally switching to a more forgiving set of irons, the Mizuno JPX 900 Tour. 

My thought process was I was able to play blades well enough, why not switch to a more forgiving iron and perhaps play better. 

Turns out the blade had more offset than the JPX 900 and somehow, I've started to fade/push slice the ball while seemingly keeping my swing the same. 

For 2 months now, even my driver has been affected and I can't get back my old swing. 

Very frustrating to watch such ugly ball flight and losing distance on top of that. Messes up all my distance gauging decisions. 

I used to hit a low to mid draw with a lot of spin, and now it's constantly fading and at the worst case, a push fade/Slice. 

Can't enjoy the game as I used to until I get this fixed. Heelpppppppp :(

We'd love to, but better camera angles help. I can't say much about ball position, whether the plane is steep/shallow, etc. from those angles.

P6:  Hands a bit high here. 

Inside pretty early here.

For a short club like this ... could you be closer to the ball ?   So your arms hang straight down ?   The closer your hands are to your body, the harder it is to snatch the club inside, non ?

Does your rear leg straighten early and hard as you slide a bit ?

Club certainly looks inside early.  shoulders really open for this early in the swing, non ?

Overswing here ?   This seems typical for someone who is inside really early.

I don't like how you lose the tush line either.

In General in the DS, you want the left buttcheek moving back to where the right buttcheek ended up at the end of the backswing.

Try to keep the clubs the same in the FO and DTL views ! 

Just random thoughts.

      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.
