shoulderlean13

I took kind of have the same problem. My right shoulder has a torn labrum, so my right arm actually hangs a little lower then my left arm. I tend to swing more with my arms, I feel like I can't twist on my back swing very far. I'll have to check out some of these suggestions.

So I went to the range yesterday, and when i twist more with my upper body, I either slam the club into the ground before the ball or i "top" the ball. I can also feel myself pull up, even though i'm concentrating on not doing that. Now my legs (the inside of my shins) were super sore and tight from working out the day before. Could this be a reason? Should I try again w/ a "clean slate" so to speak? I hope that's descriptive enough.

Any help is appreciated. Ya, I've noticed I don't rotate much, when I'm swinging, I feel like I can't rotate anymore. I'll have to try your broom trick, it sounds like it should work. Again, thanks!!

Finally was able to record my swing. I know it's not the best lighting conditions, but here's the thing's I've noticed so far: I seem to be "hunched" over, possibly because I'm standing too far back from the ball? My back swing only goes back to my shoulder height. I notice i lift my front foot as i start my swing (not sure if this matters) When I finish, I tend to "lean back". Please tell me how to fix all or some of these....Thanks guys!!

Hi All, I just got back from the range. I'm taking up the game again (well, basically new as last time I played was in high school). I was actually hitting fine w/ my 9, 8, 7, and even sometimes 6 iron. However, when I tried to hit with the 5 iron, I kept "topping" the ball, or sometimes hitting the ground well before connecting with the ball. (Even sometimes hitting the ground WITHOUT connecting with the ball). I tried my best to remedy this, and I could not find a consistent fix. Is there a general tip or advice to hitting with the 5? Any help is appreciated!! At least this means I can only get better!!

HI all, I'm starting to really play (amateur, maybe 2-3 times a month) and I'm wondering what set (brand? kind?) of clubs to get. I don't want something low end, but I also don't need high-end clubs. I'd like something in the middle, good enough that I can hit. I was thinking under $250, is this possible? All suggestions appreciated!

Hi all, I've played on and off here and there, mostly w/ borrowed clubs. I recently got a new job with set schedule, so I've been looking to do something on my off days, I figured why not golf!? Anyway, might not be the right forum, but looking to buy a set of clubs. Any suggestions? Thanks guys!!
