All, I am really struggling to get this.

Hi all, I am really struggling to get this. I have been doing the drills mirror only and recording swings and everything looks okay to me. I’ve gotten as far as adding lead arm back in and hitting some one handed shots. It went well and I hit some foam balls around my garage w nice results. My buddy invited me out for a round since our lockdown just ended and I really came in focused trying to stay with the process. This would be my first go with real balls. It was terrible, I don’t think I hit one good shot the round. The very few that I hit straight were much shorter than I’m used to. By like 30%. I’m just thinking the amount of time I’ve put into this (often a couple of hours a day) I should be seeing some results in a positive trend? Unfortunately I don’t have hundreds of dollars to spend on swing reviews and lessons. Any advice on what is the most important focus please help. I find much of this contradiction on the site eg dead drill says forget about the right side, axiom says focus on the right arm. Release should be unconscious but there are hours of videos on the release. Sorry for the rant but I just am getting nowhere fast!

Hi Tim, Sorry to hear about your struggles. I would suggest that you start trying to hit more real balls out at the range over the next couple of weeks and get some videos to post here in the community. The community or one of us can take a close look to see if we can offer some assistance and get you back on track. Heading from the garage and hitting foam balls directly out the course can make things harder on you for sure, even if the commitment was there. The golf course adds the stress and consequence back to the equation and can really make it hard to move in the correct sequence. Again, we are here to help you, so try to get some videos of you hitting real balls and post them up here in this thread and I will take a look for you.
