I’m a right handed person. I find that for woods (driver included), I’d hit better using more of the left hand in a swing fashion, but with iron I use the left hand only as guide while inserting lots of power from the right hand at impact on the down swing. Is this the correct combination, as I often heard that one should be using same swing for both wood and iron shots although woods would be more of a sweeping?

I’m a right-hander. I’ve had an injured left shoulder since 2003. When I lift weights, I sometimes have sharp pain, and lately, I’ve noticed it’s weaker than my right shoulder. It seems to have gotten weaker recently. I’ve had trouble with my golf swing. I slice the ball a lot. I’ve worked hard on my form, but it’s not working. I realize mechanics still need work…but could this weak left shoulder be part of it?

For a right handed person’s golf swing, should the left leg “post up” and straighten out during the down swing? Perhaps not immediately, but what should the left leg be like before impact, at impact, and after impact on the follow through? Thanks

Someone told me the correct way to swing a golf club is to swing with the opposite arm of your dominant arm. Is this true?

It doesn’t make any sense.

Have trouble with this on golf swing.
