You can fuck all of the examples provided up, but if you just watch this video then hit 10 balls then watch video again/hit balls until you get it, you'll be better than 99% of people to ever pick up a club ▶ this video

dude this video leaves you so hanging lol. like he says nothing about positioning or anything. i like hogan's preaching if you find old videos of him giving swing tips on youtube or read his books. if you read his book he goes all into how you want to set up and set the arms to consistently turn and burn. here's a great video too for getting the hip action in an almost prototype turn and burn way. hogan was also …

It's because you "throw" the club at the ball. This move is the big difference between bad and good golfers. Once you realize that you're being the club "down" to impact with your hips (not arms) the sooner you will become a consistent ball striker. This is the only video you need to fix your swing: ▶ this video

u/jshiv222 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “Lost ability to hit driver. What’s wrong? (LH)”
Your hands are clearing the ball before your shoulders. You do a good job initiating the downswing with your legs & hips but your shoulders need to follow your hips, not your hands. Let your shoulders clear the ball before the hands. Go watch Cam Young’s driver swing. At impact, his chest is practically facing his target. His shoulders are leading his hands with the club head following. Also, ▶ this video is the …

u/kurosawabobby 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “So steep but kind of pure?”
It's the sequence that is the issue. The hips go first but is a result of your pressure shifting to your lead foot in the downswing. Then your chest follows. This video is a good example of the sequence: ▶ this video And this video explains it and gives you drills to practice: ▶ this video

u/rafer11 2022 · r/GolfSwing · in “Working on correcting my slice with a strengthened grip. Any other advice is appreciated!”
Hey, I really want to bite on this one. I think I can help you out. Before I jump into helping fix the slice, know the 9 ball flights. This is my face diagram for it. It could be better organized (should be organized by swing path, CBF have same out-to-in path, AEI have same straight path, GDH have same in-to-out path). It sounds like you probably were a C, you strengthened your grip a bit, and are now probably a B. …

u/Street-Wrongdoer-289 2023 · r/GolfSwing · in “Advice plz”
Your swing isn't that bad to deserve to be roasted. Plus I never would roast anyone for having a bad swing and posting here for help. That's like making fun of a fat person when they go to the gym which I think is unforgiveable. Anyway, you are swinging the club mainly with your hands and arms. The reason why you are standing straight up and impact is because you are coming over the top. If you didn't stand up you …

u/LaserWolfTurbo72 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “Why can’t I stop casting in my downswing?”
It’s a fundamental issue of what’s currently imitating the swing Vs what should be. A few things should do it for you, not just this one. 1) Top of your back swing to impact hips are moving seemingly maybe 10°. Watch this 90s Hogan clip: ▶ this video 2) before you go practicing that, I’m going to suggest you first do the opposite. Grab a club and no ball. Practice with a swing where you literally do not move your …
