I grew up in Britain, America for most of my life. Thanks for watching the video.

Thanks for the question. I don't really think so, in some ways harder, and some easier (in general). Shorter statured players tend to have less problems with their posture and swing plane, taller players can often create more arc and speed. Not sure if this helps.

My issue with a driver is that I'm over rotating my hips & not staying behind the ball to be able to hit up on it causing a flat swing. I do the same with short irons which is causing pulls. I know I'm supposed to be making a small lateral shift before the hip turn but can't seem to sync it with the rest of the swing.I'm an intermediate level player. Can you help me resolve this?
All the best, Adam

Mike,
If you could find an upslope to hit off I'd recommend it. Also hit some half speed shots with the ball teed up higher than normal, pick it off tee. Usually the challenge is mental, people strike at the ball instinctively, try to feel the motion and don't worry about contact initially.
Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks, glad you found the video helpful.

Thank you so much Adam!

Thanks Bridget. I'd place your feet a little wider apart than the outside of your hips, and place the ball about opposite of your left (if your right handed) instep.

I have several 'grip' videos at the YouTube channel. It's the same (only reversed) for left handed golfers. I'm fine with the baseball grip as long as the hands are reasonably together.

Sorry you didn't like the video. I'm afraid each video has to be limited in what it covers (analytics show that it's rare for people to watch even a 6 minute video all the way through when on internet), I have many videos on grip and stance etc.
Thanks, Adam

Thanks for the question. Really, there's a lot to selecting clubs (shaft flex, length, grip size, set make-up), you'd want to go to a quality local club fitter to make the best decision.

Jason,There is no definitive correct answer, but if you tee it so that half the ball is above the top edge of the club that is the average. Adjust as needed so that your hits are coming off the middle to slightly above middle of clubface.I hope this helps. Best, Adam

Other than ball position it's very similar grip and swing with both driver and irons.
Thanks, Adam

I'm glad you are back at golf, and making some progress. It would be interesting to see how short your 'short' swing is on video. It maybe closer to normal length than you think. Best, Adam
