What is the 1 thing, you have to do to make a good swing? Mine is a short back swing. My swing is 210% better when I make a conscience effort to keep my backswing short. Just curious as to what others think there 1 thing is?

did your accuracy improve as well?

I started doing this at the beginning of spring this year and my contact improved but I could not stop pulling the ball dead left (Im a righty). I was wondering if anyone else experienced the "pull shot" while doing this and if you fixed it, what did you do to fix it.

From my experience when I do this with my irons, it is a result getting stuck. Being a good player I am sure you would be feeling that, if that was the case, but I just thought I would throw that out there.

I am shooting in the 70s now after 4 years of beating my head against the wall. The most important thing I have done this year is practice in my yard with a plastic practice ball. I know that sounds crazy, but I practice hitting the plastic ball as straight as I can and it really translates to good shots on the course. The best thing is practicing in the yard on my swing and then forgetting about mechanics and just concentrate on a target on the course. (Golf is not a perfect game concept..... a must read in my opinion).

I to have this problem and as KEEPITSIMPLE stated the slid your hip thread is great reading on this matter. That thread helped me so much. When I start blocking everything to the right I imagine a string from my right hip, say going through a belt loop tied to my club head and in order to get my club to the ball I must pull it through with my hip, hope this helps.

35 but feel like 85 sometimes.

I am new here, nut I have been playing golf for three years now and this is without a doubt the best tip I have ever read, tried it on the range and it got rid of my slice and added about 20 yards to my 8 iron. Sliding the hips must have been "the secret" for me. a big thank you to iacas and everyone.
