Back after 2 months off!

[uptoscratchgolf]

Hey guys,

Happy Friday!

Back playing after 7-8 weeks off.

Went to the range and had a blast this week.

Would appreciate any feedback on my swing etc. There's definitely a lot of minor slicing going on.

Cheers!

Lukas

From looking at the video its look as though the face is very open to the path. i believe your set up very left and swinging out to in with a open face. glancing the ball and slicing...

Cheers for the feedback mate, will take that on board!

You're bringing the club on an out to in path, i.e. If you take a clock face, you are swinging 5 oclock to 11 oclock, try taking it back at 6 to 12 or even 7 to 1, hope that makes sense.

Try putting your driver head cover or a empty bottle or something slightly behind and to the right of the ball, now swing and hit the ball trying to not to hit the headcover. this will give you the feeling of a more in too out path.

Yeah, I think I tried this before by putting a second ball next to the one I was trying to hit. Will have to go back to that as it helped. Cheers mate!

Outside of getting a lesson, you could look up tips on YouTube. Literally 1000s there that could help.

No problem, its exactly what i struggled with your years until i started having lessons. i think my first lesson i was -16 degrees out to in!

Yeah, that sounds familiar to the one and only I had as well. Proper bugger!

Start off with a closed stance and a closed club face. You’ll hit it straighter.

Play like that for 3 months.

Slowly you’ll be able to stand back to a normal stance and you would of adjusted your over the top movement and maybe added a draw into your ball flight.

It will take time and practice.

I certainly wouldn't be advocating that but I'm no pga teaching pro.

If he closes the face and still has a big out to in path won’t tar result it big straight left shots

Hopefully our resident pro expert Bob will put his video up with the headcovers. Simple and effective

You'd be better off going to get lessons with a pro than asking advice or following random advice on YouTube. Not being nasty but there's not a cat's chance in hell you will get to scratch without a lesson if this is the sum of your natural ability. Your better getting lessons before you ingrain any more bad habits as they just become hard to get rid of, everybody can say this or that about your swing/posture/balance but it will get you nowhere. Go and get a lesson, I'd put money on a 28 handicapper beating you at the moment hitting the ball as you are. Just being honest.

Pretty fair assessment. I'm a big advocate of lessons from a good pro (and therein finding a good one that can communicate with you effectively and one you trust is the hardest part arguably).
