I've been Playing Golf for: Started at 13, training casually until 17yo (30hcp), stopped playing and came back to the game 3 years ago.

My current handicap index or average score is: 20,3 EGA
My typical ball flight is: mid to high
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slices, thin, fat and low left.

Hi everyone ! I've been reading this forum for some years but never posted.

Am I swaying too much ? That's how I do my weight shift... Are my arms too late on the ball ?

I want to create more shaft lean at impact, but really struggling at the moment...

Thanks !

To me it looks like if you freeze at the frame on your down swing at waist height you are not stable on your feet weight wise through the swing but looks like you try and correct it after impact, it looks like on your down swing your weight is shifting towards your toes which is one possibility of why you are slicing the ball and was the same for me and may be a reason you are hitting low left shots because you are trying to correct the weight transfer. Try feeling like you have more weight on your heels but not too much! This helped me personally alot. For the thins just keep your head down all the way through the swing. For the low lefts i can tell you that at the top of your back swing your club face is shut a ton which will normally make the ball start left since the club face at impact is shut. A way that would fix this is by making sure you hinge your hands when you get to about waist height in your back swing and make sure your swing is alot higher at the top of the back swing which will improve your distance if done correctly and stop the low lefts. All of this i have learnt myself and benefited from. I hope i can atleast imrpove one part of your game and possibly more!

Good points here. Balance is a severe issue, I'm working on it. I may try to hit shots with my toes lifted up to get the feeling.

And my flat backswing is not very fonctional, you're right ! I might practice with early wrist hinge and nearly straight up takeway.

Thanks !

I'd find some good high speed FO and DL video and post that if you could. But for a 20 index that's a pretty decent move at it.
