Hey! Noticed how your lead elbow bends at contact or just slightly after? This can cause some inconsistency, I suffered with the same issue and it’s improved my game a lot. See how DJ (in the video) finishes all the way through the swing into the position where the club is parallel again to the ground (p8)vs yours? This helped me and someone pointing it out was the only way I knew it was happening, best of luck! ▶ …

i’m pretty trash so my advice should be taken with a grain of salt, but my swing was revolutionized when i implemented these thoughts and changes your main problem is that your club face is too open throughout your entire swing, so you’ll hit everything right first tip: in your backswing, get the club as far away from you as possible. this creates power mostly, but it also helps with consistency and the third tip …

You’re swaying way too far off line with your hips, try to imagine your spine and shoulders on an axis, and rotate around that axis. Also, you’re standing up on your follow through, try to imagine you’re keeping your side bent, like you’re skipping rocks, a good one to watch is DJ or Joaquin Niemann, not saying copy them, but that’s the idea: ▶ this video Also, loosen your grip to the point you feel like it’s about …

What immediately struck me is that you have high hands, coupled with steep arms, and a very closed club face at the top. One can definitely play golf that way. In fact, it looks a lot like Dustin Johnson. That might sound like a compliment, but unless you can shallow the club and rotate like him (a world class athlete), you’re in for some trouble. Take a look and compare your relative positions at the top: ▶ this …

Gotta practice dropping your hands to your right pocket and get the in to out swing. I like watching the TaylorMade slow motion swings on YouTube and compare my positions to them. Example: ▶ this video

lmao i love when you guys clip the best freak of nature to ever play the game like that's something people can actually replicate. he's the exception to the rule. this is what people don't understand. i do this for a living, this is an extremely easy way to get very good at ball striking. if you go watch 90% of tour pros they're all 90 by time their lead arm is parallel or very close to it. there are some exceptions …

This is great! Being a little under the plane isn’t bad at all I wouldn’t worry about that too much. But to clarify what I was saying in the other post, I want you to get your left hip cleared before impact. Watch this swing of DJ, who your swing kind of reminds me of! Watch at impact how his hips rotate (on the same axis) and “clear” out of the way. This allows his shoulders/arms to stay on path and his hands don’t …

​ [imgur.com] ▶ this video ​ You need to make room for that elbow so your hands can get ahead of the ball. Otherwise your side/hip will hinder lag through impact.

Yes, you can play with a closed face at the top if you are a professional golfer with hands like a professional golfer who practices every day. She is neither. Also, here's DJs swing. ▶ this video This lady has her clubface more closed at the top than a bowed wrist Dustin Johnson. Unless you think she has the downswing of someone like DJ, it's just not playable.

I have no right to give a single digit advice, but look at DJ's left wrist during his backswing in this vid, especially at 0:13, and compare it to yours. ▶ this video

Take a look at DJ’s swing. He’s more or less your height, and you might be surprised how bent over he is at the hip. ▶ this video You look very close to the ball and your shoulders are very rounded. I would say you need to bend more at waist and stand further back.
