Pulling irons, blocking driver, and low trajectory

[BradenM10]

 

 

Been working on rotating hips instead of sliding in the backswing by slightly presetting the hip turn. Seems to make contact more consistent. Head is also dipping pretty low in the downswing which has caused some fat shots. Out on the course it’s a lot of pulls with irons and blocks with the driver. Borderline stingers every shot. Any advice is welcome!

From your description of your results I was pretty sure I knew what I'd see when I clicked on the video. You're describing my game, my swing, my misses right down to the ground.

 

I am not qualified to tell you how to fix your swing but for me it all started with what you've already worked on (I had to learn to stop swaying off the ball) and then the next step for me was not dragging the club way back behind me on the takeaway.

 

Perhaps someone with teaching credentials will step in and suggest how you should work on taking the club away on plane and getting it properly set at the top. Lord knows I've been working on that a for more than a year and, as Tiger Woods might say, "It's a process"!

 

P.S. Or maybe I'm all wet and that's not your problem at all. Golf swing is mostly a mystery to me, I just do what my teaching-pro buddy tells me to do and it usually works out eventually. 😇

You get the club behind you, you have no wrist hinge, you have no hip rotation and a flat shaft. 
 

You then just spin the body and get stuck then rotate the hands to square the club. This is going to cause the flight you are seeing

That's like a somewhat blunt and direct version of what my teaching pro told mewhen I sent him a video of my swing (looking exactly like @BradenM10's). Except he was more like, "We might want to work on keeping that club out in front of you and getting it upright. Then you can make a coordinated turn". He's very nice like that but the message is the same😱

Okay I started doing a but more left side bend during the backswing to keep the club from getting behind me.

Just viewing your last video you posted. Your swing is too long, you go past parallel and you do not have the flexibility to do so. Your front knee is tucked in and pointing directly at your back leg, you've begun a reverse pivot, and now you're solely reliant on your wrists to square the clubface properly.

 

Shorten the backswing, and focus on turning through the ball and returning weight to your front leg sooner in the backswing. Think about forcing your weight forward right around the time when you feel the club rises above your belt line.

Your takeaway still lacks proper pressure shift and rotation. Your arms are disconnected from the swing.

 

You should post videos of working on just the takeaway as demonstrated in the video posted
