my golf swing is too flat, i want to swing more on plane…?

July 16th, 2010

I’m a 4 handicap, I take the club on an inside path, which I know, is the cause some bad shots and my distance not being on point. I sometimes even hit it off the heel or occasionally shank my lower irons (PW, SW) I’ve tried to take the club on an outside path but I sometimes end up hitting a cut or I come over the top and pull hook it. It just doesn’t feel comfortable. my grip is on the weak side, i feel do to the club being taken so flat. Any tips or drills I can do?
Thanks… I’ve taken some practice swings in the mirror and I can see where the club should be… My problem is it feels like I’m going to hit a massive cut…. or it feels like I may pull it. I’ll make my grip stronger, but i know I need to put the club in the "slot" on the downswing and hit more or less the inside of the ball. Should I actually feel the club dropping at the top, kind of like laying it off?

Having trouble with ball striking in golf swing?

June 28th, 2010

Yesterday I fixed a problem I had with my right knee that was buckling in my swing. But now I am not striking the ball well at all, when I hit my irons (forged) they feel thin or as if they are being scooped. The strange thing is that when I do the feet together drill I hit the ball crisp everytime! I spent 2 hours on this at the range and no better! My theory is that my lower body timing might be off and that i might be coiling my left knee too much.

Any ideas what the problem could be? or drills that could be used to ensure consistant striking?
Thanks :)
Sorry i must have posted this in the gossip section?? Be decent and help a man in need! I dont need your stories about tiger!

How to fight a golf slice?

June 5th, 2010

I’ve been having trouble wtih a push and push slice in my golf swing. I’ve been trying to go more inside out but still have problems coming accross my chest….but like many I have a problem pulling my arms accross my chest early thus end up going outside in? Will early release of the club allow my arms to more naturally and easily go from inside out? Havent had a chance to go back to the range since i thought of this? What are you thoughts? Focus on the inside out and hopefully the cllub will realease in time…or focus on the club release and this will promote the inside out plane? Im trying to break the swing down in parts so i can figure this thing out…thanks.
i just went to the range and took a look at my ball flight…I dont think I have a typical slice…more of a push…or the extreme opposite a pull hook…after some research…i dont think i have an outside in swing plane…i think on the downswing i am over the top and am cutting down and accross the ball…so that if my club face is closed ill pull hook it…or if it is open ends up being mostly a push and sometimes slice if the face is extremely open…does this sound right?
Thanks for the help guys…i just got back from the range…after thousands of balls hit at the range…its finally clicked…i didnt have an outside in plane…i was coming down to steep then cutting across or down on the ball then i would pull across my chest….so that if the face was closed i would pull or hook it…if the face was open i would slice or push it…anyhow…figured that if i start from the feet and just let my club fall naturally so that its more sweeping action i would get that coveted in out swing plane…after i made an adjustment to the offset ( i was better with my 7-4 iron…until i understood that the shorter irons had less offset) …i would say 7 out of my 10 balls i had solid contact…the other 3 were either face open or closed…its finally clicked!

What is up with my golf swing!? ****?

June 2nd, 2010

Even if i attempt to have a neutral grip (for right handed golfer), the swinging of the golf club (driver, irons, wedges), does not feel natural halfway back, into the back swing, and the release of the golf club. Consequently, it feels as if the club face either opens up within my hands or closes, causing a lot of inconsistency’s. Please help, as i have a fourball torunament coming up within a few weeks, and i really need some detailed advice, drills, or exercises, to correct these stupid problems within my swing. (Note: I have not experienced this swing problem within the past)
Could you be more specific please, as i really need some improvement on my swing without a pga professional. However thanks. P.s: I personally hit alot of pushes or push slices..
Thank you for all of your comments, but i know that firstly, my tempo is fine, my swing is slow and smooth. Please can i have some other answers please. (preferably drills and exercises)

do hands, arms, upper body, or legs power the golf swing?

May 17th, 2010

I have been playing golf for over 40 years, very inconsistently. i often hit iron shots fat, my tendency is to hit irons on the outer 1/2 of the face (nearer the toe than the sweet spot) and most often pushed. My background is baseball which i believe causes incorrect hand and wrist movement through the golf swing. Baseball is a much "whippier" movement, snapping wrists through impact, driven by the hands. Wrist snapping through golf impact is a disaster.

Golf on the other hand from what i can gather is much less about hands and more about using upper body rotation to power the swing.

Are there any good videos, drills i can do to reinforce the correct hand/wrist movement?
