And a roughprice

Had a lesson lately where my pro got me to use the towel drill to keep connected in my swing. This helped my ball striking but im hooking and pulling all my shots. Any thoughts on why

Pushing all my fairway woods and same with driver or a hook. Even my good iron and chips have my divots sometimes nearly 45 degrees. Plz help!

Thanks Ben only just seen this! I've just got back from playin and actually tried starting my takeaway with a little hinge and had good results,but I still struggled with the odd push and my divots are sometimes 45 degrees right! Any thanks for the tips

Very helpfull vids

Your question is the holy grail for me!!!!! I've tried starting with my shoulders but I just can't do it. So im just trying to take the club back on the right plane just using my hands(im sure this is not workin either) I've tried everthing but can't master nothing!!!

Thanks again mvmac. On my downswing I actually start by shifting my hips towards the target and im sure my head follows a little,should I try to keep my head dead still on the whole downswing? Sorry to be a pain in the ass!

Yes that was actually what my pro had me doing the lesson b4 the bowed wrist one. I got what your suggesting going good but my club face was wide open that's when he got me to bow my wrists. He called what you said "let the hands win the race" it did held with my ball striking when done right

When having this bowed wrist lesson my pro showed me a video still of Ernie els at impact just to try and show me the technique

Once again that really helps me to understand and visualise,thanks RAT. And ha ha I don't know if there is a maddog saloon but my user name is maddog81 and the sand trap team must of put my avatar in! Anyway if I ever see u in there il buy u a beers

Ok cheers guys. Re club rat I once had a lesson where the pro tried to get me to bow my wrists at impact,not sure if this is what you are on about or similar

Cast the club out early that is

As I have a tendency to cast out the club and get too armsy on the downswing my local pro told me to feel as if I wait to straighten out my right arm just after impact. Good advice? Is this worth practicing. Cheers

Had a lesson today with a very good pro. I told him about my backswing problems and he just got me to simply start by starting my takeaway leading with my right hand,taking it straight back away and this seemed to give me a decent turn and good width in my swing. Then as I was still pushing the ball right with a bit of a fade he got me to try turn back into the ball instead of my being way too armsy. I hit the ball pretty good after. What u think of his lesson and advice guys?

Hi. Still struggling! I've been to range trying all different advice and was terrible in my last 18 holes. So think il giv those 5 key points a try. R all the 5 different steps all on YouTube ? And should I just do one at a time or go for it on all 5? Cheers. Btw im one of those guys who try's doing everything by the book but like a few on here are saying maybe I should be looking for what just works for me

Yes that is a great vid but I really do struggle to initiate my swing with my shoulders,think il hav to put some long hours in at the range

And thanks arturo il giv this vid a watch now

Thanks sacpac that is more or less the answer or tip I was looking for thankyou

Cheers guys il giv these a try

Allways struggled with this and building a new swing. Off to range in a bit if anyone has any helpfull tip? Cheers

The only thing im worried about is im starting my swing by hinging my wrists,im getting good results but I thought it was a big no no to start your takeaway with your wrists! Is it ok to start this way guys?

Hi. I tried the nick Faldo drill and it really does help with getting in a great position at the top thank you

Just had a few practice swings in the garden and this feels good,thanks again

Excellent thank you very much. Very helpfull.

Ok thanks a lot il try that the nxt time im out playing or at the range. Any tips for starting my backswing as im losing sleep! Lol
