Why are you only hitting half shots too?
Is a short swing a problem? This swing is longer than Tony Finau's!

Might be because I had to use the wide angle lens.Yes your back is straight but to me you're too bent over at the hips. Try standing taller so your hands are nearer to you, it will look less like Keegan Bradley then
I'm no expert btw so take my advice with a pinch of salt
Posture is probably the only thing I have worked on. If it's still no good then I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea what you mean. My back looks pretty straight, and I have to focus on my hips not moving towards the ball or I'll shank it.
@Curls I've had the short backswing for years, and if I swing any further back I lose the club head completely and it's 50-50 if I even hit the ball. In terms of it being "all arms" though, it used to be even worse than that and I did start turning my hips more a while back. Although maybe I've forgotten that again.
@inc0gnito I do like the Zen approach but that doesn't mean I'm about to make myself a wooden seesaw to muck about with. ? While I like the ideas Marcus is teaching I think they're difficult to execute by yourself without guidance. I try not to make big changes from a YouTube video, just small ideas.
Thanks all.
All of that would come naturally, if instead of thinking about stuff, and controlling stuff, you just belted the bollocks out of it.
I tried that for 3 years. Didn’t work! ?
Funnily enough this is exactly what the Zen golf guys say that @inc0gnito was talking about. ?It does though.
Throw a ball 6ft, you use your arm.
Throw it 20 ft, you pivot a bit, and chuck it harder.
Throw it 20 yards, you load your right side, pivot more, longer take back, and power through.
Put a golf club in your hand, and it becomes so complicated. Why? Does it need to be? No. Just let your body crack on with it, and get out of the way with thinking. It's really not necessary. Just let go.

Yeah but that’s not what people do. There’s something about sticking a golf club in your hand that screws that all up. The funny thing is is that’s what Marcus is trying to do. Get people back to their natural swing like how you’d throw anything. He uses throwing the ball analogy a lot too.
But it only screws it up because people start thinking about it. Don't think, empty your head of junk, and just whack it. No one teaches anyone to use a hammer, or an axe, just crack on, and find what works. You can throw a ball, it is no different.
I did a gapping session over a year ago that probably had such numbers, but the only thing I remember was that I hit everything fat. ?Like the drop down on transition and smooth change of direction. Have you check out your path/lie numbers ?
Far to much lean over for my back to take and control in your swing. Not enough fast free flowing motion. Do some speed training to free it up, long and fast swings, you could end up with a big overswing like my swing
Maybe March will be your month
