2 things stand out to me: 1) cupping a bit with a poor initial takeaway hinge. 2) knees are not balanced or connected 1) your takeaway doesnt have enough left hand hinge, which prevents you from ever getting the back of your hand and forearm on a flat line. This cupping leaves the club face open through the swing and leaves the ball high and right. Porzak Golf has ▶ this video that you should watch and practice the …

This isn't OTT. This sub doesn't know what over the top is. OP your problem is your dipping your shoulder on your backswing towards the ball which is completely making you lose balance. You are doing this because on your backswing you are using your body to raise the club past midpoint instead of hinging your wrists. I don't like the drill of putting something in your right armpit because of this, most pros …

Combination of 2 things: asymmetrical pivot in the lower half and disconnection at the top. On the DTL you can see the left knee come out a good 4-6 inches on the backswing, but the right knee has no depth.

Watch the balance between our legs in …

When doing the drill, pay particular attention on how you are raising the club in the backswing. Your head and shoulders should not be dipping so far towards the ball, you are losing your balance. You want your left knee and right knee to be in sync with how much they move so you achieve the same balance on the top of your backswing as during setup. You need to use your wrist more to hinge the club when club is …

u/Mysterious-Bridge-45 2026 · r/GolfSwing · in “Swing help?”
\1- for now aim more left and play the shape during actual rounds. 2- yes, adding a solid foundation to your entire body (legs, core, arms) throughout the swing will help tonnes. Right now it looks like there are so many variables in your swing that can lead to multiple outputs. So to your point, noisy legs AND noisy arms lead to misses both ways. Work on that stuff on the range! Check these out for better …
