After nearly a week of hitting 9 to 3 shots which I thought were good I.

Lee G · · United Kingdom
Hi, after nearly a week of hitting 9 to 3 shots which I thought were good I decided to go to the range and see if there was any improvement. Unfortunately it was as bad as ever with the usual fat, thin short hooks. In the last few swings shown I tried to really open up my body while keeping the club face open in a desperate attempt to finally hit a straight shot. This was a slight improvement but I felt a bit of strain in my lower back. I have been practicing so hard especially on taking the club straight back, keeping the head still and getting the weight forward but I am absolutely clueless as to why I can't hit at least one good shot.

Hello Lee. You can still see you are pushing the club out going back then then moving towards the ball otw down. A lot of lateral motion with the head from face on finishing the backswing. You need to correct the hips. I would try the pendulum feel in the video below because you are trying to rotate them so hard in an attempt to maintain tush and spine. Also, listen to the head motion Chuck describes in the transition. A whole lot of players have been having success with the J motion. Combing the hip motion described below with the J motion (How to Increase Hand Speed) should really help. You are doing better but the arms are still chasing the body. You need to feel quieter and get the arms working better into impact. The effort to rotate so hard may be hindering more than helping. You can see you are shy of GDP which is causing timing nightmare at impact. Both two drills above will help.
