    Default Ben's Swing

    My swing as of last week, video is of me hitting an 8 iron. Looking to get a little more rotation with my hips, shallow out my swing a little but it's fairly solid at the moment.

    Haha yeah it was a cold/rainy night so I ended up in actual golf wear. Far removed from the normal sports shorts and tee shirt. I'm actually going to keep uploading progress on YouTube when I remember to try keep track of how I'm going!

    Really nice swing. Strong, balanced, good rotation, good through the impact area and complete follow through.

    How comfortable are you working different shapes?

    Cheers for that!

    Shaping is getting easier. Iron's i'm comfortable enough with it, i naturally play a little fade but have been starting to hit it both ways. Driver is a little harder for me to play that draw, but hopefully it comes soon enough. 3 wood i can hit both shapes, although controlling the amount is the toughest part.

    Very nice, contact and ball flight looked very consistent.
    Guessing you are about 6'6"? Interested in your shaft length and lie angle, I am 6'4" and just been fitted 1.5" over and 3' upright.

    Actually i'm slightly shorter than you! I do have long arms though, longer than the norm.

    I'm an inch longer and 2 degrees up, so not far from your setup!

    7 iron from today had excellent tempo Ben.

    Driver from Jan also had good tempo, but your shoulders and hips looked well out of alignment. If you remember back that far, did the driver leak right by chance?

    If you maintain that tempo, you will have far more good days than bad ones

    I'd imagine it would have leaked a little right if it did miss, that was always my miss.

    Hitting driver a lot better, straighter now thanks to a few little tweaks. Staying down through the hitting zone more, so i'm not spinning out early and leaving the face open.

    Irons i'm hitting pretty good too, far more quiet in my lower half, not swaying forward through impact. A lot better ball flight and trajectory.

    ecided I'm going to put a hybrid in the bag, after years of not wanting to because I don't really like the look of them. First time hitting one yesterday, going to replace the 2 iron I had.

    Lmao Hatch a someone who still plays a 1 iron I can see your despair but I think the hybrids have more versatility, mine is mainly for smacks out of the crap and it works really well for that ,low head high hooks about 180 are it’s spealialty but it goes 230 off the tee as well I don’t play a 3 iron any more so have a gap there after my 3 wood , but BB they are so much easier to hit and you can flight them once you get used of them

    Yeah I've found over the last two days when I've taken it out for a hit that I've been able to do a little more with it. It's mainly going to be an off the tee thing, but I found I can still hit it low in to the wind and get that piercing flight which surprised me. Distance was good too, it was a 2 club wind and I still got it out there 210 off the tee. Hatchy, i'm sorry dude, but just know that I've battled with this for a long time, I've never wanted to be a hybrid guy as i love a well hit long iron.
