3 hcp but searching for a little more power and consistant contact.

1. Any suggestions to create more lag?

2. Are my hips sliding too much on the downswing?

3. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

1.  You need to eliminate lag as a pursuit.  If you worry about it directly, it ends poorly.  It's a result of linking your swing up.

2.  No

3.  Need to see a DTL video.  Looks like you may be sucking the arms inside and steepening the shaft on way down.

Very bizarre follow thru...looks like you drag handle in..than try and lag it down


You are a dragger to lagger...been there done that..the 1950 golf swing method,,or docf method

Not sure I follow you here.  Could you elaborate a little. Thanks

I will try to post a DTL link. Thanks. Also my rear foot always drags forward after impact.  Any idea what causes this and if I should try to correct it. The foot drag is why I thought I was sliding. Thanks a lot for the insight.

Need DTL video.
A few things are easily seen - coming in too steep.  Your quite poor P6 hand position indicates something quite off. Read my MORAD P6 thread.

Besides too steep a downswing ... I think your swing is all arms.   You need to learn to sync the body and the arms better.    You do start dumping your lag early because your right elbow is so stuck there is no choice. At contact P7 your hands are behind the ball with an iron.   Ideally your hands are ahead of the clubhead with the shaft leaning to the target. I will give you this ... you have a fairly good P7 considering how off P6 is.  Probably just raw coordination.  

I think you are a good candidate for a slicefixer swing. You'd definitely benefit from the 9 to 3 drill and an impact ball.

Your inconsistent contact will be improved when you learn to get into a better P6 position.

DTL video will probably show your right elbow flying.  

Some things to try might be an earlier wrist c0ck of the right hand, a reverse K setup and keeping your elbows together on the backswing.

Here is a DTL.  Thanks for the input thus far.

Sliding...I used to do this, always wore out the toe of my golf shoe.

If you don't mind me asking, What did you do to correct this?  Thank You

Also is my swing considered a "one plane swing"?  Thank You!
