Honest evaluation

LET's ROLL . . .

Long Game
  • My driver is irratic . . .
  • My bad shot is typically a shot that starts right and goes right
  • Or a shot that starts right and hooks past my stance line (how about that)
  • Long Iron misses are either high right pushes or low left burners
  • Short Irons are the strengths of my game . . . but distance control is an issue
  • Short Iron misses are typically long and left
  • All in all I find the clubface/sweetspot and hit it solid well but direction is my problem
  • I can hit it low as you want me too . . . but high shots are harder for me
  • I have an easier time hitting right to left shots than cuts
  • I hit down on it plenty but not too good on the out part . . .I'm a super's nightmare . . .I move earth
  • I'm a GREAT range player but don't hit the same quality shots interms of direction on course
  • I have noticed that I stand too far from the ball whip it inside and get it across the line at the top
  • I tend to hang back a little and come out of my waist bend
  • My impact alignments are pretty good . . . I just have some weird moves getting there.

Is this the kind of stuff you were looking for?

Thanks man . . . you rock!

Bucket,

That's exactly the type of honest evaluation I'm looking for. I will leave the particulars of swing correction to the experts. The part that concerns me the most is a two-way miss. Right and left. This type of pattern requires great discipline in adhering to a committed routine.

If you can eliminate most of your misses to one side or the other, you will have an easier time fitting your pattern to the golf course.

So your part of the plan is to decipher the swing changes you need to make and to implement these moves over a period of time.

Next question. Tell me about your short game. Shots inside full sandwedge. Bunkers. Pitches. High. Low. Flop. Tight lies. Rough. Anything else you can think of besides putting. Short game philosophy (one club, many, close to the ground as possible, or something else)
