▶ this video If OP is swaying so is Rory. Hips bump forward before the arms start the downswing.

So there is a lot going on here. Best thing to start with is your Grip and your wrists. Take a look at the image and look how you haven't started turning your torso but your wrists have completely turned and opened the golf club. Now look at the Pros wrists, body has started turning but his wrists are still perfectly square. Take a look at some videos of slow motion iron shots and try to see what you are doing …

Your issue is that you have zero hip rotation through impact and are completely flat footed. This is negatively affecting your swing path (hence your chicken wing follow through), and is causing your lack of consistency in your ball striking. [preview.redd.it] Look at McIlroy’s swing as a comparison. ▶ this video Here’s a good Danny Maude video about hip rotation. ▶ this video

What most people here have said are your big issues to work on. Too far in your backswing, too much rotation, swing too hard. I’d watch the slowmo video of Rory’s iron swing to compare what good rotation and backswing should look like. ▶ this video

Thank you for blurring instead of slapping some emoji over your head. There are a number of things to work on but most importantly you need to work on keeping the head still. The head and feet are the anchor points, you operate within the space. Although it's a bit more nuanced, think of it as if your head moves, so does the intended ▶ this video. In that clip, staring at the head, it clearly tells you exactly where …

Let's look at ▶ this video at 0:38. U see that tiny hip movement at 0:38? That's because he "preloads" pressure into right side before he starts takeaway. What Rory does is, push off his left leg to his right before he takes up his club. U can just put pressure onto right before starting takeaway. Look at ▶ this video, ▶ this video▶ this video, and more. They use similar technique i described. Your spine angle is …

u/ilPrezidente 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Any advice for a lefty???”
Your swing is all arms -- there's no body rotation or hinging of the wrists so you're just kind of whacking at the ball. Get a more stable base so you don't rock. Start your swing with your hips/shoulders, rotate on your spine as an axis, hinge your wrists slightly at 9:00 (or, I guess, 3:00 for a lefty), and keep rotating with your hips until you reach the top of your backswing. A good way to practice this is to …

u/ButIfYouThink 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Struggling with consistency.”
Just looking at the face-on slow motion, you clearly come up out of your swing, and to your right a full 4 or 5 inches. This is the opposite of what most instructors will tell you. They will tell you to try to keep your head level in order to gain some consistency. Many pros even dip their head down in the downswing. Nonetheless, this is why you probably top the ball a lot. Rory McIlroy slow motion iron swing for …

u/PainlessP 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Tips for squaring the face through impact?”
10 hcp here — not a coach, but here’s what I see: your head sways, you’ve got more arm swing than body swing, and your trail elbow is getting blocked by your ribs/hips. Head position: Lift your chin slightly so your shoulder path clears. If your chin bumps your shoulder, you’ll subconsciously move your head or body, throwing off the clubface (leading to slices or hooks). Keep your head still — like it’s “in a box.” …

u/ParIsTheStar 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Been playing for a couple of months… often top the ball BADLY. What’s going wrong?”
If you are barely catching the top of the ball you can move the ball position forward in your stance. You have the ball so far back (looks almost off the right heel) that it's gonna be tough to "stay behind the ball". Move the ball more to the center of your stance and keep your ear/nose/eyes/head behind the ball. Look at Rory setup here and look at where his head is, look at his left ear. Now look at your setup, …

Arms should follow the trunk thru the swing, watch a ▶ this videofrom the top to impact to get an idea of it, similar to throwing a baseball all the good players get their power from the ground/the big muscles in your legs. Also make sure you're not decelerating at impact, better to go back very slow and then FIRE down to the ball; weight should go as follows: Backswing: inside left foot, Downswing: Outside right …

Firstly, for 8 months, you are doing VERY well. Secondly, don't worry about not taking divots. You will find MANY instructors that will tell you a shallow angle of attack is better than a steeper one, at least until you get to the higher lofted wedges. "Standing up" at impact ? Try to slo-mo the video, or shoot another one IN slow-mo if that works better (idk). As you play it back, put the mouse pointer right on any …
