    This side by side shows a couple things. Shaft plane on the backswing (left pic) is extremely inside and flat. Two different planes on the backswing vs downswing (right pic). Also look at your head position on the backswing vs downswing. Your head moves forward (from this angle it moves this way 👉🏼). That’s the two big things I see. You have great rhythm and balance.

    honestly a lot of good here. as far as chunking, you never truly get your weight forward (at impact your lead foot is literally off the ground which is making it impossible for you to press forward) which is moving your low point behind the ball – hence the chunks. gotta bump into your lead foot to initiate the downswing.

    unrelated to chunking/weight transfer, 2 things to keep an eye on:

    1. inside takeaway, causing a steep high-handed impact zone (look into hand path drills)

    2. loss of hip depth on the downswing (your lead hip gets stuck and pushes your trail hip into the hitting zone) – try posturing up more in setup. by standing taller at setup, you give your hips more room to flex and gain depth on the downswing

    you hit some really cool positions in this swing though – you’re flexible as hell and that’s going to help you immensely

    More hip rotation on the backswing. And right hip should be pointing up at the top, left hip up on the follow through. You don’t want your hips staying as level as they are. Overall it looks pretty good. Nice rhythm. I don’t see any early extension.

    Here’s something simple… move the ball further back in your stance

    And then instead of focusing your eye on the ball, focus your eye on a blade of grass right in front of the ball

  5. Looks good to me – just a minor shift issue. You have incredible rotation – your hips are wide open in the downswing!

    You have to hit off grass to get anywhere. Find a range with grass. Find a short par three that you can work on your game. The range is not golf, it has it’s place but you need to get on the grass.

    Good swing. Take lessons while you’re young.

  8. Fit_Ship8822

    Put a head cover 3 club heads behind the ball. Don’t hit the head cover

    I would work on your set up and posture. Your hands are way too far away from your body. Recommend reading.[Great site. It takes more than five minutes ignore it. One thing at a time I’m glad to help if you need it. As far as your dance goes, stand up straight, bend your torso forward, similar to the video in the book. To help easily straighten your back pretend you’re about to sit on the barstool once you’ve bent forward. Straighten your back after a while. You won’t even notice after a while it sucks the first cause you’re back. Isn’t it takes some retrain using the right muscles. Roy McElroy is probably one of the best I’ve seen. Just let your arms drop naturally and that’s where they go.

    Sorry, one more thing way too hard. You will hit it much further with a smooth swing, especially the club. You’re hitting right there believe it or not when you don’t try to kill him try to kill. In golf

    Stop hitting on mats. Hides bad ball contact, specifically a chunks. If you can’t, do what Bryson does and put some painters tape behind the ball. If you hit it, you’ll know you chunked it.

    Looks good to me. I think chunking the ball may come from just release timing. lag the release.

  13. STUBOING

    More weight in your left leg , lean the shaft forward slightly.
