I feel and share your pain brother. Been fighting the same battle with my brain all summer. I’m slowly getting there with lessons and also some ‘feel’ as to what the arms should be doing in the downswing. My coach has taught me to take tension out of grip and arms (around 3/10 grip tension) and also to have the lower body initiate the downswing. A drill to reprogramme your right arm to help you get the feeling of …

Your swing looks like my old backswing - no wrist setting/hinge, bent lead arm. Weird thing is I got it to where it mostly worked for me, but I knew I wasn’t going to be able to build off of it so I started working on a real swing. Be prepared for your results to get worse, a lot worse, before they get better. What helped me initially was loosening up my grip and feeling what a more flowing and loose swing feels …

The most common issue, you’re coming over the top. You actually have a good back swing and you initiate your hips before you start your down swing, so what I would suggest is at the top of your back swing, initiate your hips then literally feel like you’re throwing your hands straight down to the floor. Then through your follow through swing towards 2nd base and follow through Here’s some great videos explaining …

You basically want to let your hands come back down before you turn on the downswing. What makes you over the top is that you still have your hands really high when you are turning through the ball. You need to let them fall to return back on plane, this is called getting in the slot. The good news is you have a nice back swing and look athletic over all so I have no doubt you can have a great swing with practice. …

During backswing, right arm is slightly bent, during downswing, it goes straight after impact. Yours is bent because your arm is stuck behind your body. It's hard to tell from camera angle, but you might have slight inside takeaway. There are different ways of downswing you might want to experiment, like ▶ this video.

this advice is about as good as 'dont swing across the ball' you coming out of posture is a symptom of another issue: your weight moves heavily to your toes in the backswing. try and feel like you're loading up that right heel in the backswing. right now you're off balance and falling towards the ball. standing up and losing your posture is a natural reaction to that anyways, you're slicing it because your …

I have this exact problem maybe not as an aggressive OTT move but its still the same sequence problem where the down swing is started with the shoulders and arms being thrown at the ball instead of the lower body/hips initiating the downing with the arms falling/dropping before turning through.

You are not understanding what I'm saying. Hands and arms coming down = good, cool, agree. Rerouting the club with your hands = inconsistent, unless you're Jim Furyk... ▶ this video start at 2:30 Jim Furyk is a classic example of a heavy reroute. He does the same thing every time though, so it works. But he has a hige reroute to get his hands in the slot. OP similarly has a reroute at the top, and if hes struggling …

1) It looks like your a single-plane swinger. You're not dropping into "the slot" on your downswing (the butt of your club is pointing inside of the ball instead of at the ball). Check out this video: ▶ this video 2) Is that a 3w or a hybrid 3i? The shaft looks too short for your height. Are these regular size clubs?

Hosel shot. Stand further from the ball. You’re also swinging over the top so once you start making solid contact, you’re going to notice you’re shots spraying right. Heres a helpful video: ▶ this video
