Trackman...stats have me stuck

[willimatic]

So, I got to hit some balls on trackman for awhile. I am no expert or anything but after looking at my stats with a 7 iron, I came to the conclusion that I hit too down on the ball, thus making me more in to out with an already inside approach. I know this can be offset with aiming left to bend the D Plane and what not, but Im more interested in how to have a less downward strike!

So the BIG question is, HOW do you not hit down on the ball so much? I swear it seemed no matter what I tried I still hit to much down. I posted my swing last week sometime if you wanna look at it.

Thanks,

never been on a trackman, and i am no expert, but did you try just moving the ball up in your stance...closer to low point?

 

[Jim Kobylinski]

Moving the ball further up helps yes; however sometimes it requires changes to other parts of your swing too. Also do you have enough axis tilt at impact to allow you to be shallower?

less right wrist bend at impact.

You have a great looking swing but I did notice with the short iron you set up for a steep swing all of your weight looks to be on your front foot (left leg is straight and right leg has an angle). Thats a good way to hit short irons but if you want to shallow out try adjusting your setup more neutral.

additional info!

Some additional information. I tend to have a pretty forward ball at address. I have plenty of access tilt. I'm pretty sure I have a tendency to have to much tilt and not enough around (manzella 1 for 1 rule).

It's like I swing to much from the inside and to down on the ball, but I attribute that to more of dragging the handle! I'm gunna give the less right wrist bend a try. Is that basically more of a soft drawish type toss?

Thanks again folks, appreciate all the help.

 

[dannyc]

yeah, may help to fell like you are throwing it away a little to get that less bent right wrist.

 

[willimatic]

Right wrist!

Definitely going to try that out, along with adjusting my weight shift at address to being a bit more neutral and more on the heels at set up vs. being on my toes. I'll keep you updated.

Thanks

What were your Horizontal and vertical plane numbers? As well as your true path?

 

[willimatic]

I do not have those numbers right now, I will get them next time. Hopefully in a few weeks, sorry! I do know that I was hitting down -7.2 on average and path of inside 3.5.

Thanks for the info!
