medici999's swing

[pecky987]

met with medici today and had a very productive lesson

he'd been struggling with swinging too far to the left and leaking balls to the right. we worked on 'keeping the bow tie back' and getting into the tilt, and keeping the tilt till he gets through the ball.

he also had some clubface issues, so we worked to get something more like horizontal hinging and helping him close the face.

he made good progress and is keen for more input from the members, Brian and academy included

He probably plays better golf than me but is his stance a little wide for an iron? Is there a reason for this?

I'm certainly not an expert, but a couple things stand out to me. I like your position at the top, and then it looks like the transition to the downswing needs a little work. It looks like your spine angle needs to change - i.e. you need to tilt your teacup and get your shoulder down the plane. The bottom left picture also makes it look like you're not maintaining lag as long as you could be, but it's hard to tell from screencaps. Looks like you and pecky are on the right path.

yer mate i agree with what your saying...i think i need to get more weight across to the left side so i will have a bigger lateral slide followed by a rotation. what do you mean by tilting the teacup?

I just think its pretty cool that you guys met via this Forum. (and Medici is willing to take some lessons and practice)

You turn too early.

Fix the clubface first and the body should respond more favorably
