Double_AA

Had my first ever driver fitting today. Went to club champion to see what they could improve. I tried around 5 different shafts, but the second one was a clear winner(ventus black 6S). We moved into some different heads but nothing could beat my g410. I tried the new cobra, TM, and ping heads. I liked the new ping head but neither of us thought it was worth trading. It was a cool experience that put to bed a ton of questions that I’m always tossing around. I’m happy with the results. /Renderers/DynamicReports//./Images/favicon.ico Dynamic report https://mytrackman.com/system/dynamic-report?r=23636cff-68d5-40db-8490-8f5b91616f4a&dm=c&nd=false&op=true&sro=false&do=true&to=true&vo=true&cdo=true&ot=c&ov=d&mp[]=ClubSpeed&mp[]=BallSpeed&mp[]=SmashFactor&mp[]=Carry&mp[]=Total&mp[]=SpinRate&mp[]=ClubPath&mp[]=FaceToPath&mp[]=FaceAngle&mp[]=AttackAngle&u=Us&v=dispersion&sgos[]=40c4b217-a7ee-4fd0-b0c6-75a37071dcac&sgos[]=7ae8887f-25e5-4b5a-9d45-5a1ed25008ff

Alright so I read some more articles on here, specifically the one about the right arm. Also watched a couple of the videos that applied. My current feel is to start the swing with my pivot, NO ARMS GOING AROUND. Then once that is complete arms go up. I did this a couple days and was sort of shanking. Sooo I started turning the left wrist (bow) at the top. It feels like a lot but on video it’s hard to even see it. Long story short this feels better than my swing ever has. I have no question that this is what I need to be doing. It will take time to sync it up and get it smooth but this is the right track. The club comes in with more shaft lean, the strike is pure, and the swing appears to be shallowing as a bonus. Thank you @iacas for the help!!

watching this video to get an idea of the correct movement. It appears that you want to keep the right shoulder more internally rotated (not extended) if that makes since? If so that is a biggg change that I need to make. I feel like I currently extend my right shoulder back at the top. Maybe that is caused by pulling the right arm back idk?

@iacas look any better? Trying to feel like my right arm is external to the max throughout. Aside from the overswing lol

@iacasUnderstood 😞 I’ll get back to grinding the shallowing move. I strike the ball well when it’s working but the steepness always creeps back in. Regardless I’m kicking driver out for a while to see what it does to my scores. My next club is a 5W and it’s goes 230-240 with MUCH less dispersion.

Thoughts on a flatter backswing? I assumed it was dumb, but this doesn’t look bad… Almost looks like it shallows on the DTL?

Hey hey mr steep over the top is back. Had to kick driver out of the bag for now. Getting so steep that I manage to top every 5 or so. Have to get this fixed for good.

practicing impact

Tried getting a bit more in the fingers with the left hand. Looks better more shallow less flip.

What’s the biggest problem you see with this impact position? What I think looks bad is wrists/ lack of shaft lean ?

Went down and played Berkeley hall this past weekend and swing went right out the window. Carded a 95 and 98 thanks to good chipping and putting. I think I was starting to sway in my downswing again and get OTT, so I came home and worked on the right foot back drill. Im hitting the ball really good using the feel from this drill, but the swing feels kind of wristy/ flicked at impact. Not sure if I should keep doing the drill even though it’s helping contact and direction. Ps: waiting to get back in with my instructor he was satisfied with my swing so we took a break. Lasted 3 weeks and I became a head case again lol

Thanks! I’ll give it a try. Being back on my heels seems like it may contribute to getting an inside takeaway & steep downswing.

Yeah I’ll have to get a video of myself trying to do it. We’ve tried to address it a couple times but swinging this way just works better for some reason until I start getting really steep. My driver can go sideways really quick. Thanks! I put in a ton of work this winter.What are you seeing in the setup? Does the grip still look weak?

Been working on the swing all winter with the same pro. We had me hitting the ball really good but all the sudden I’ve started getting steep again. Whenever it try to fix this inside takeaway and hinge earlier I just slice it or have poor contact. Any ideas why?

Working to remove the sway on the backswing. Moved away from stopping the forward sway on downswing. I’ve been here before lol. I have to wonder… could that wide open club face be the main culprit to my problems. Every pro I’ve worked with attacks this sway issue, which I agree is a problem but it doesn’t do much to stop my casting.
