Just got back into playing, something’s off with my swing

Golf pros on here may be around shortly to sort you out.

But it sounds like you are either 1. swinging out to in ... or 2. leaving your club face open.
Casting, early hip turn, etc.

Try checking your wrist position at the top of you backswing. Make sure it's level or even slightly turned in.

Try to focus more on a steady and technically correct take away.

Try keeping your head down and driving your weight forward rather than focusing on rotating.
(Hips rotating first has been a recent problem of mine.)

The last thing I do is to play with the ball location to help encourage a better swing plane.

Of course. just a hacker here... trying to help.

If everything is slicing and you’ve tried swing plane and grip, you may be too close to the ball

it’s usually on target before either fading or slicing. I’d guess maybe 150-200 yards before bending, but that’s just an estimate

Definitely late movement though, if I’m understanding your question correctly

You are coming across the ball (out to in). I deal with it constantly and can be a few different things from my observation of my poor swing (and a few things I do to get it under control.

Impact position- take note of where the back of your left hand is at impact, it should be facing the target (or said differently, make sure it’s not getting held up in the hinged position).

starting your downswing- biggest problem for me, and I would imagine most the suffer a slice. I notice when this is going really bad for me, I start the swing way to quickly/aggressive at the top. Try getting the feeling of the club dropping before you go after it.

Misalignment on the ball- you are out of practice, and you eyes are tricking you. Concentrate on the ball going forward, make your practice swings send force forward (not just generally to your left). Worry more about this than where you are aimed, I find that aiming is the hardest part and good aim requires trust and knowledge of your own swing.

Try swinging shorter clubs only to correct this. The long clubs will inherently compound these problems. You are essentially out of sequence and the longer club will compound this problem because there is more time to get out of place.

Try hitting pitch shots and work up from there. Also, go to the takeaway position, hold it, and make your body turn the club into the ground when you make practice swings. That first little piece of your takeaway is crucial, don’t pull the club toward you.

leaving your club face open


I feel like this is more than likely the culprit. The few guys I’ve talked to out there this week have all said my swing looks on plane.. how much their opinion is worth, idk, but it’s a start

This worked for me. Stand with the wall on your left, take small snow backswings and on the follow through touch the wall with the toe of the Club, you should be far enough away from the wall that your arms can extend, this will groove that bottom of your swing to help you get to the left side, think of a clock, go from 6-8-4 o’clock (your head is 12)

Any time I start loosing it way right I do this, even on the course using my bag, a tree or a golf cart as the wall.


Also, your flutes are probably weak AF right now. Dead lift baw

thank you for the suggestions.. i'll definitely make a few notes and get to work. doesn't look like i'll be getting back out there til sunday or Monday

Fire the glutes and play LaTour

I hate spellchecker.

Glutes flutes
