Coming over the top is most often a fault of trying to hit the ball with your right shoulder. Don't hit at the ball with your right shoulder, feel like you are trying to hit the ball to right field (if you are a righty) while allowing your bottom hand (your right if you're a righty) to turn over the weak hand (your left if a righty) in the follow through.

WTI,
If it makes you feel any better, I was +1 sitting in the middle of the sixth fairway last night. I'd hit a great drive and had about 155 in off a downslope. I yank the shot into the front lip of the bunker on a severe upslope. I procede to blade the shot onto another hole, where it takes me three shots to get down for double. I hit into some jackasses' foot crater on 7, digging a bunker shot out to 30 feet for another bogey. On 9 I'm four over and steaming, but 60 yards out on the par 5 after two shots. I procede to blade a lob wedge into the water over the green and take an 8.

90% of missed shots are missed on the back swing.

Rather than overburden him with mechanical thoughts about sequencing, trying feel thoughts first often lead to the same fixes without mental paralysis.

As far as which is more cumbersome between taking the club back properly or not hitting or hitting with you right shoulder I don't know. I guess it depends on wether one is a swinger of the club or a hitter. I'll tend to instruct from the swingers point of view.

Excuse me for losing track. You are correct. Could we at least agree that most golf shots are missed on the backswing?

As these guys are all saying, most golf swings are either made or doomed from the backswing. A thought/exercise you may want to have is that you are standing at the plate playing baseball and the catcher is squatting behind you with his glove up. Your thought should be to bring the club directly back into his mitt, not bringing the club inside. From there go waist-high with the toe of the club straight up. If you can start out with these two checkpoints it creates room for your arms to move throughout the rest of the swing. Often times slices are a result of improper swing path building into a number of improper compensation movements. This thought can lay the groundwork for a good swing. |

This thread needs a post.
I've ben out a few times playing 9 holes. Today the weather chilled and I took a notion to walk 9 holes carrying my bag. It felt good! I shot a 38 with a double on #2. Missed a 4 ft birdie on the last hole.....Beautiful 7 iron and a missed putt. Golf is good.

Went out yesterday for the first time in two weeks and shot a 41 that included a quad on a par 4 that is normally hybrid-gap wedge for me. Also missed two birdie putts inside of 8 feet and bogeyed another par 4 from 30 yards off the green.
Frustrating.
