Thanks for all of this! Surprisingly hit 8/9 greens yesterday and shot even par. Shows that bad swings can produce good results. Will be working on this hard in the coming days.

Ok thanks!

Still working on my axis tilt and have seen little improvements in my eyes. I seem to hit the majority of my shots fat and right. I don't think I have the right swing thoughts or I understand what I need to feel. Here's a vid [VIDEO]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0FB94KQCDk[/VIDEO]

Quote: Looking better dude. The basic answer is you keep turning/opening as you transfer the weight forward. Only question I have about that is I took a look at the sliding hips thread and it talks a lot in there about not having the shoulders or hips very open coming down or at impact. The tour pros are way more closed than I am so is it just a matter of squaring the face?

Been working on the axis tilt and turn hard. One question I have is when getting more axis tilt how do you keep from being too inside out? A couple vids below, wasn't able to get to course but last time ball was going right.

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to make that. Will surely get working on that!

Guessing not enough weight forward

Been working on a lot but I feel that something is not right. Let me know if you see anything. [VIDEO]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sebTaKztdZg[/VIDEO] [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/PLm5x7dOPOo[/VIDEO]

I worked on my posture today and it feels much more solid and balanced. But I am still fighting a downward movement with the head. I also took a FO to see if anyone saw anything that could be causing this. Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrPQUMN_vZA&feature;=youtu.be (DTL) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1P5YnECDf8&feature;=youtu.be (FO)

I just felt what you were talking about and took a look at it in the mirror. Much different. Might explain why I occasionally experience back pain even though I am young.

What about my knees do they stick back or stay forward? And how does this play into my whole issue of going down and up in the stroke.

Whenever I try not to stick my butt out my knees just stick out over my feet.

I looked through it and I understand it but i don't understand what to feel. Do I need to straighten my legs and get a straighter back I don't understand what the type of new posture I should feel.

By arched you mean too bent over?

Lately I have gotten into the habit of my head going down and forward in my backswing. I don't have a FO video but it is pretty clear in the DTL. I combat this move by coming out of my posture. I have not been hitting it well at all lately and any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Wow! That really opened my eyes up. I always used to practice that way and had gotten out of it. I was taught to go through my entire pre shot routine every shot on the range and had gotten away from that. But what are some drills and feels to start working on this?

Hmm maybe. What are some drills to ingrain this into my swing and some feels I can use to feel this. I understand what I need to do but I think Im missing something. When I make my shift to I worry about rotating anything or when do I feel the leg straighten or do I not even feel that at all? I feel like im just going to shift and not rotate and slap the ball.

I am confused, do you mean 10 as in my normal tempo or are you asking out of 10 how hard I was swinging. I did not change any speed things from the video that is uploaded it's the same speed.

I worked on this at the range today and the results were still the same. My ball started more right but still almost every shot off the toe of the club. I also caught a lot of balls thin. I did not get to take video but I will tmmrw but based off of this what could still be going on with the toe shots?

I took a look at it and it makes a lot more sense. The only question I have is that was weight distribution for an iron, is the driver the same? Thanks

I agree with the getting to the left side but tiger or anybody does not have a flexed front leg at impact. They all post up.

I did not delete them but when youtube was bought out by google it made me change my account to my google account and I did not bring any of my videos over as im not a youtuber

I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 4.2 My typical ball flight is: 5 yard draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Toe hits Videos: (DTL) (FO) I am usually a pretty good ballstriker and I average around 10 greens a round and lately I just cant hit the center of the club and am consistently missing it off the toe. I take lessons but not very often and I feel like I know the swing well enough to fix my faults. I think my club is too steep as my divots are deep. Any ideas on how I could be hitting it off the toe so badly?

I practice 6 days a week structured

I have been working with the same instructor for about a year now and ive seen flashes of brilliance but I still have a 84 average the same as a year ago. I only average 5 greens hit a round. A friend of mine was in a similar position and went to this other instructor and it has done wonders to his game. This instructor has many of the top juniors in the area. I'm considering changing to him because I know he has a lot of good students and a good track record. Any thoughts?
