Yea I think you need to rework that grip again. It needs to be more in the fingers than the palms and your right hand is still too “strong” or underneath the shaft. Here’s a good video for you I think. ▶ this video

I’ll hop in here, yes. Right now the hands are going outside causing the club to go inside. Feel the opposite and keep doing everything else. You have a solid swing overall already. Check out this video from Porzak, I think he’s one of the best online. ▶ this video

▶ this video Really good drill for you. You do a good job keeping the club outside your hands, but you get your hands "outside the stick" and get disconnected.

As other have pointed out, you have a suppppppper inside takeaway, so you're then adjusting and coming over the top on the way down. I struggled with this for a very long time. I tried to casually fix it, but I was so low and inside on the takeaway, that even when I would try and deliberately take the club back outside and steeper, when I would watch on video I was still very inside. I eventully spent almost two …

u/gaffs82 2026 · r/GolfSwing · in “Any drills for lowering my hands on follow through?”
Your hands are only going to end up where your swing path takes them. You can’t reroute them post impact when the club head is moving around 80+ mph. Start with addressing the takeaway. You’re sucking the club to the inside like so many do. You need to feel hands in, club head out…. ▶ this video

The takeaway is arguably the most crucial because it sets the foundation for the entire swing and is what I would focus on first before worrying about the face control. If you start the swing on the wrong path, it becomes very challenging to correct it later. Inside Takeaway: ▶ this video Open Clubface/Face Control: ▶ this video

u/Ellite11MVP 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Roast my swing, please share any mechanics insights and coaching/golfing experience, whatever that may be. ”
Hard for me to give you a firm answer on that bc ultimately it’s up to whatever feel works for you. It looks to me like you roll your wrists just before P2 causing an inside takeaway instead of “setting the club”. Short ▶ this video that shows what I’m saying about your inside takeaway. A longer ▶ this video about the same thing. Here is a ▶ this video that talks about how to correctly square the club face. There’s …

You're initiating the takeaway by bumping your hands away from your body, try keeping the club handle the same distance from your body as the takeaway starts. ▶ this video

u/enriquer3251 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “LOST CAUSE???”
You are not swinging over the top for starters. The club is being delivered from the inside however it is open relative to the path. PGA Posture needs to be taller legs shoulder width apart Grip too weak at the moment needs to be stronger to help close face at bottom of the swing Alignment make sure you are aiming at a target at all times when working on the range use alignment stick or a club to help you with that. …

All of your problems start from your take away. Your set up looks good. 1. Your takeaway is WAY inside 2. Your backswing is super shallow 3. Your downswing is way over the top of your swing plane (which is set by your takeaway & backswing). 4. You being shallow back and then OTT down causes your to get steep, causes your sequencing to be way off, and forces you to have to try and “flip” the club too much. ▶ this …

u/Sport_Psychologist 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “Should I shorten my swing?”
Honestly, it depends on HOW you're trying to fix your swing. Your swing is looking long (the club head position at the top) because of your excessive wrist roll at takeaway and very flat backswing. This means the club is getting behind your hands, and then at the top it's weight is causing it to suddenly go across the line and long. I'd be working on good takeaway mechanics, take a look at this video for example: ▶ …
