Your swing is very good as others have said. One thing a coach taught me was to keep the face square through impact as long as possible. You hit those square in the video it looks like but you quickly roll your hands over and it could lead to inconsistency. Coach told me to do practice swings with a wall right at my back to focus in keeping square through and beyond impact. ▶ this video . This video shows what I'm …

This was super helpful for me. Feels very awkward at first when you’re used to coming in steep and over the top, but it’s the best tip I’ve seen that I was able to put into practice. ▶ this video

The analysis is half the job and you got that part right! First step is to make sure you know how to rotate the hips and drop the hands (as stated above — hands shouldn’t throw toward the ball..:they should drop while bringing the clubhead around). This video and drill are huge to help grasp the concept of the movement throughout the swing: ▶ this video

First move in your takeaway is starting with the wrists - try starting the takeaway with your body more and only getting the wrists involved as you get near the top of your backswing. Looks like you're standing out of your posture during your backswing and trying to get back into it during the downswing - this is the recipe for inconsistency and to fix it I suggest the asscheeks against the wall drill : ▶ this video …

Honestly, best drill I have ever used for this is swinging with a club upside down and with your butt against a wall. Swing is just too long overall and you need to get your moments to be more compact so its repeatable. I'd watch this and try it in your house: ▶ this video Once your right butt cheek + club hits the wall, that's your key to know its time to start the downswing. This will really exaggerate what a …

Almost everything happening in your swing is fixable with just fixing your backswing, rotation, and Like others said, step further away from the ball first. A thing I notice is you are not rotating much with your hips. You may feel like you are, but your creating separation and rotation more with your arms and shoulders in your swing and less with your hips and core.

If you’re inside, swing with your butt against a wall. If your posture and rotation is correct, the club will never touch it: ▶ this video

u/notthebestusername12 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Looking to improve my downswing. Seems like I have that dreaded hip stall. Any tips?”
Backswing is immaculate. Coming down, you shallow the club by squatting and leaning backwards. Almost a fadeaway jumper but with the club. Because of that move, you have to slow your hips to release the club on time, but your swing is entirely built on timing. When it’s good it’s good. When it’s bad, who knows what can happen. I would draw lines along your spine angle at address, and on your butt line. Work on …
