I've been struggling a little with my irons lately and I think it's because my backswing is too flat. I'm 16 and I'm trying to get better at golf I shoot in the high 80s or low 90s. I don't "feel" like I'm flat, but I recorded my swing the other day and saw that it was very flat. I'm trying to get it steeper like Sean Foley teaches, but I can't seem to do it. I try to swing steeper but then I watch the video and I'm still too flat. I feel like I need an instructor to help me out in person.

That's my problem too. Try to feel you shoulder plane steeper in backswing. Let me know it's working or not.

this is not a cure for flat swing. flat swing for some is the result for finding a power source.

ahmadfs76 commented on 10 Sep 2012

I have a cupped left wrist , and i hit the very very well , Ben hogan had a cupped left wrist , ?

Meandmygolf commented on 05 Sep 2015

+mike sharpe Nothing wrong with a cupped left wrist. This is just one way to help someone who has an open face at the top.

Chet Koczynski commented on 14 Jun 2015

So, I have two guys in the UK saying "flat left wrist at the top" and Mr. Hogan (i.e., one of the greatest ball-strikers in the history of the game) saying "cupped left wrist at the top." Hmmm, how many majors have these guys won?

Josh Martins commented on 06 Nov 2015

It all depends on your grip. If you have a stronger left hand grip you can have a bit of cupping in wrist. It's all in relation to your grip

RollYourRock commented on 28 Jun 2015

+Chet Koczynski Hogan struggled with a debilitating hook prior to utilizing a "slight" cup in his left wrist at the top. Only one Hogan... Chet, don't be a wanker!

The hula hoop analogy is wrong as that only applies if low point is at bottom of arc and with an iron it wouldn't be so path would be a lot more inside to out when moving the pencil back an inch or 2 from low point.

Frazer20 commented on 13 Nov 2015

+Mark CrossfieldOk. So all things being equal a flatter sweet spot plane will result in a more rightward path of impact is before low point. Upwards of low point would be the complete opposite

Mark Crossfield commented on 13 Nov 2015

The hula hope is very basic and I fully understand low point.

not a solid swing in the slightest....loses spine angle horribly on the down swing....look at his hips and how they shoot forward....HUGE amature move

what is the better grip, easter or semi-western?

Daily Tennis Lesson commented on 17 Nov 2015

+Leonardo Monteiro Both are great. It comes down to personal preference really. Semi-western is a bit more prevalent at the pro level however.

Jerry Werner commented on 16 Nov 2015

Great stuff!

+Jerry Werner Thanks Jerry!

luckysteerroper commented on 16 Nov 2015

Flat Foot Floogee (Swing Kids) - 30s' Big Band Benny Goodman

User Comments

neilx49 commented on 18 Feb 2012

The tune was written by Slim Gaillard of Slim and Slam (Slam Stewart), who wrote and performed many racy tunes of the day. Slam Stewart pioneered playing bass solos with a German bow and humming along an octave higher, inspiring others like Major Holley on bass and even George Benson on guitar years later. Check 'em out!

David Lenkic commented on 05 Jan 2012

@zola78rpm Indeed - the "flat foot floogee" was slang for a bombastic, uncouth woman. The "floy floy" was the disease. I love dancing to this song, but knowing the meaning does slightly ruin it for me.

26Passions commented on 28 Jan 2013

Swing on ... watching this movie, and now realizing this year... christian Bale aka Batman or 3:10 to Yuma, and Dr. House's best friend were the main cast in this movie.... wow, amazing

Reuben Hart commented on 24 Dec 2011

Benny Goodman grew up with yiddish speaking parents. So did Harry James, Artie Shaw and many others. 'Floy' is yiddish for flea in case anyone wants to know.

Elizabeth Klein commented on 16 Feb 2012

I didn't know the words meant anything,thought it was just another silly song from the era!!My mother used to sing the song and go truckin' on down!!

Veronica Vero commented on 14 Oct 2013

Also the Great Trumpeter Ziggy Elman is Jewish , And The Great Singers Helen Horrest and Mel Tormè

SORRY, THEY HAD TO SAY FLOOGEE,FLOOGIE, AND SO ON IN 1938-48 MY BAD, BUT WE KNOW WHAT THEY MEANT

Reuben Hart commented on 04 Sep 2012

I think I was wrong. It was his boss Ben Pollack who was. Thanks for the heads up.
