Hi Sophie, I watched your video and went to the range to work on it, after a while it just worked for me. My USGA Hcp. index is 13.5, I played in my league yesterday evening (9 holes) and totally committed to my new swing, I shot 37 one over par, you are my favorite coach, Thank you so much.

AH! the SOPHIE. The lady I have seen that uses the club head better than anyone else on the LPGA tour. not the most powerful golfer but a great example of how to use the head of the club to hit the ball. Now a great asset on the LPGA tour media coverage. Thumbed up.

I have vastly improved my swing path; from as much as 10 degree to the inside and over the top to slightly outside to neutral. I was pulling and hooking everything. Wedges, driver; EVERYTHING. Position of the trail shoulder is KEY; stay closed, keep that shoulder back and swing your swing. It will make a huge difference.

I had a first lesson today with a PGA coach who went straight into this in to out method. He certainly confused me as I need consistant striking first. Thank you Sophie, a great video and explaination, and another great use for a range bucket besides holding balls. 👍

Hi, you might have just saved my sanity. I had a 4 handicap from 2017 - 2022. Last year I didn't play much because i need a partial knee replacement. I had the knee replacement December 12th of 2023, and I am now back to 100%. Only problem is I forgot how to hit a golf ball. Courses I use to shoot 75 on I am shooting 104. I have actually lost my love for the game. I am retired and work at a golf course and 3 different pros have worked with me and when they are with me I am hitting it great. Next day I am alone, and I lose it. They didn't give me any drill to use. I know I had to be coming over the top because I am hitting everything 30 yards left of my target. Your idea to put the alignment stick in a golf bucket over the ball has changed my life!!! I can't believe how I am hitting it and I even use it in my net at home. (Don't tell the course I stole a range bucket) Thank you thank you thank you.

I can hit from the inside with all of my wedges and irons - even my 3 hybrid. but I can't, for the life of me, get my driver going in to out. Maybe a mental thing as the club is longer so it feels like I am going to hit the ground behind the ball? I don't know. Have any drills specifically for driver?

@robinbhairam7508 Жыл бұрын
No need for apologies, we all have to start somewhere. It’s because it is incredibly hard to do and more importantly, consistently repeat. This is because the golf swing is actually a circle. I’ve struggled with consistency on and off for a while, my default being over the top or ‘out to in’, which results in a slice with a driver and hitting behind or ‘fat’ shots with the irons. This looks like a good instructional video. Good luck, hope it goes well. 😊
