You open your face right from the beginning of the swing. I also feel like you could get a little further from the ball, less knee bend, bent at the waist a little more. You also should be able to hold something in your right armpit as you’re coming down which will help you get a more flat swing. This video about the takeaway helped me a lot. This whole channel is great for learning swing and grip basics. ▶ this …

Dumped under causing right to left. You need to put that alignment stick under your hands closer to your feet so you can ensure your hands travel down the line during the take away: [imgur.com] Getting way inside. Setup this station. Bet take away video on youtube ▶ this video

u/Substantial_Team6751 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Anyone follow Porzak’s instruction/swing?”
I've watched a bunch of Porzak videos despite not loving his voice. I don't know how much the masterclass costs but you could probably build one yourself by searching his channel. Just break down all the parts of the swing: grip address / stance takeaway backswing transition downswing etc. For example, I really liked his grip video. Why would you need to pay for it? ▶ this video I've used his alignment video: ▶ this …

The easy fix is to highlight your cupped wrist. Back of the left hand is an acute angle with the back of your forearm, this twists the face open. You can reduce or eliminate this by practicing your hinge on takeaway. ▶ this video is a great drill to work on that. The harder fix is that you are over swinging with your arms and under rotating with your body. You’ve done some patchwork adjustments to get your downswing …

u/jasperuga 2023 · r/GolfSwing · in “How’s the shape of my swing? Going through some changes and ignoring contact atm. Any tips?”
First you need to fix your posture. Arms should be hanging straight down from the shoulders. Your arms and club are almost in a straight line to the ball. Next I would check your grip. Your right hand grip looks a little too on top and weak. Next in the takeaway and backswing, the club needs to swing around your body rather than straight back away from you. Here is an awesome video on the takeaway. Really explains …

u/Brain-Damaged-Sup 2023 · r/GolfSwing · in “Starting to figure it out. Where to go from here?”
Second this comment. One of the only comments that are helpful so far. Your first move is rolling the club inside. Watch how far the club head moves before your hands move backwards. This causes a lot of issues. If you take video of DTL try and get the club to be in line or outside your hands at club parallel. A good YouTube channel I like is this one: Porzak Golf ▶ this video The other main issue is that it seems …
