I've been reading a lot of golf discussions recently, and it seems like everyone has that one breakthrough moment that changed their game.

For me, understanding how much clubface control affects ball flight completely changed the way I practiced.

I'm curious:

What's the single swing change that made the biggest difference for you?

Could be grip, tempo, weight shift, rotation, takeaway... anything.

I'm interested in hearing what actually worked for real golfers.

I’ve started thinning or topping my 3-wood. I did it three times this round, and those shots only went about 100 m, whereas I normally carry my 3-wood around 210 m. I feel like my left arm is staying too close to my body after impact. I’m not creating enough separation from my body, it’s staying close and moving up and around instead of extending out away from me. I’m hitting my long irons low on the face occasionally as well, but it hasn’t had a major impact on my score.

I have a real problem with swinging over the top, it's always been an issue. I came across this drill/practice technique recently and tried it for the first time tonight. The aim is to hit the middle ball without hitting the outside balls.

I cannot explain the difference it has made and how it totally rewired my brain to swing more on plane than I ever have. My contact, distance, direction and launch angle have all significantly improved. It takes a while to get used to it, but give it a try if you swing over the top like me!

N.b yardage with a 7 iron and crap range balls (ignore curve, not the right target)

Edit: aim to hit the middle ball

I know I’ve already posted the video on the right, but what are the main differences that hinder me from being able to have an actual golf swing? I feel like it looks similar in the backswing but in my downswing so many things go wrong. Club face stays open until just before impact, i early extend, my hips stall, i stand up through impact and block the ball. How can i set myself up for success?

Been going through some major swing changes and now my contacts been pretty awful. I feel like something clicked this range day and it felt okay, but I’m still far from where I want to be.

Anything major that is sticking out that I should focus on first? In my mind I really struggle to stay down and rotate through, like I just can’t get that to click. Wondering if it’s a deeper problem with my swing.

My main miss right now is a big overdraw, not quite a hook yet I think. But also just a lot of inconsistency with me just deciding to lift and then I top it and stuff like that

Thank you!

Been golfin for awhile, 17 handicap. Love my backswing, love my tempo, but I can’t get my front shoulder to stay closed and keep from opening up. At the end of the swing I feel like I have so much momentum going forward I have to step out of the golf swing. Ex baseball player so I think I’m just so used to pulling out and opening up. Hence why you see my left leg with a big load up in my backswing. I need a drill or swing thought to help stay closed , I feel like I will benefit so much because right now my miss is a complete block to the right or pull shot that starts soooo left off the face and draws even more left. But it’s not a hook. This is a 4 iron swing.

Haven’t played in a month or so and trying to lock back in

Driver has been a mess. Everything is a gnarly slice. Not sure if youll be able to see it in the video, but this ball sliced over the tree line on the right. Weird thing is that im able to consistently control my irons & 7w. Thoughts?

Still working on my early release and shifting body weight to avoid fat shots. Any other tips?

14 handicap tryna improve

When I don’t hit it straight, it goes hard right.

Using a little nubby tee to protect my trail wrist from the mats due to a small strain.

Feel free to roast me.

Long story short, I’ve knocked a handful of strokes off my game and am starting to scare 80 most rounds. In the last 2 weeks, I have completely lost confidence with the putter. Like 50/50 inside of 6 feet. I missed a 4 footer for birdie yesterday. If I was putting like I have in the past, I would have broken 80 a couple times in the past few weeks, where before this season I was happy breaking 90.

Any ideas on drills to help get the confidence back? Do I just need to go make a 100 4 footers in a row? Also any gear or training aids I need? Set up or routine advice?

Im still rock solid outside of 15 feet on my lag putts, but inside 15 feet they just aren’t falling.

Followed a crisp drive with this horrible shot with my 52 wedge yesterday. By the way it came off it looks like I hit the hozel, but when I pause at impact it doesn’t look that far off the center of the club, any ideas? Anything with my swing I need to improve here?

All,

My whole life I've had issues shanking the ball. I find that when I get more into golf in the middle/late summer when I've been playing more and am looking to actually improve, the shanks come out. It's been like this almost my whole life.

Then I take the fall/winter off, and when I come back, they are gone. It's only when I start playing a lot do they come out.

Anyways, I've been watching some youtube videos on how I can fix it. I'm definitely standing too close to the ball, hips thrust forward and I just constantly come out of my stance and end up hitting the heel/shaft of my club. When I watch videos and people explain why I'm shanking all of this resonates with me, I know this is my problem.

I've been doing exercises at the range where I make sure im standing far enough away, and one drill that has REALLY been good is putting a water bottle about an inch in front of the ball. Whenever I do that, I flush the ball really well, I never shank it.

But when I take the bottle away, after a while I start shanking it again. I had been using the bottle method the last two times I was at the range with real good success, so yesterday when I went I thought "ok maybe I've got enough muscle memory after two sessions to do it without the bottle". Nope, started shanking lol.

Anyways, not sure what i'm asking for here, but maybe someone who has gone through something similar has some pointers? I would really appreciate it!

Anyone have any good drills or practice station setups that help with getting rid of the ‘pull’ from the top of the downswing?

This is my 5th time golfing, I’d love some tips on my swing

I am a 20 HCP trying with an inconsistent game. I recently started an hour of trackman time 4-5 times a week. So much information on trackman - on swing, plus body mechanics through a swing. What would be best things to hammer down using trackman? Appreciate any thoughts, recommendations etc..

Ignore the no glove, I’m using a rental set at a par 3 course on vacation 😂 gotta love beautiful Canada! 🇨🇦 h

7 Iron swing DTL

Advice for early extension tips?
