Need some Help  

  By: Dominic G on Jan. 14, 2026, 11:37 a.m.

I am 71 yr old break 90 on occasion but I'm usually 95-100 on most days - when I am hitting it good, I don't know why and when I'm hitting it bad I don't know why - I have a Skytrak and just started hitting balls again and I am having contact issues - this seems to happen every time I start to train again - I need to figure out contact correctly - can you please point me to some drills I can do to fix? I need to figure out what I am doing correctly when I hit the ball well - thanks for listening

Hi Dom,

Welcome to the program. I have a number of clients in their 70's still enjoying the pursuit and journey of getting better. Good luck.

I do think it's helpful to understand the reasons we play well, as well as the reasons we play poorly. My whole goal is to help make that journey simpler. I think a great place to start is with the Build My Stock Swing course. It helps you connect the dots and understand the goals for the drills in addition to drawing attention to some of my favorite drills.

For instance, the door jam drill is great, so comparing that position to your actual swing would be helpful. When you look at your swing, you can pinpoint if you need to work more on the body, the arms, or both in order to get the club to move differently and achieve a different outcome.

The door jam can often identify body issues or arm and wrist issues. I have drills that are more specific for each of those that would be the "best complementary drill" but it depends no your personal issues. If you're having a hard time identifying it, feel free to post your swing here and I can help.

Happy Golfing,
Tyler

Hi Dom,

The hanger as a training aid jumps to mind as a way you might be able to feel “stiffer wrists”. Have you tried that?

Happy golfing,
Tyler
