You need to hit a ball for proper results. Practice and real swings are wildly different.

But you could definately work on your posture. Straight back especially. You have too much of a curve at the top of your back.

BluesMan is right, you need to hit a ball. But, there are some flaws:

1. Inside takeaway and then you come over the top.
2. Posture needs some work.
3. You overrotate at the top of your swing.

I can definatly tell your pulling the club inside because of a turn of your body slightly early, keep your body still until you have almost fully pulled the club back. Also on your followthrough your club comes inside the swing path again, to fix this try almost throwing your body outwards to insure you hit the ball square. Try working on bringing the club straight back and straight through.

As most have already stated, you really need to work on your spine angle and keeping it throughout your swing. This will in time lead to better ball striking. You also seem to have a little bit of a reverse pivot in your swing, but I think it is a product of your inside takeaway coupled with the club lift that you have near the top of your backswing. Fixing your spine angle may correct the over-rotation and the inside takeaway. Your right hand looks a little strong to me, but if that grip works for you dont change it. You also have a little over the top move that leads to the hand flip through impact. I would guess that your shot shape is very inconsistent??? Keeping your left wrist flat at the top and down into impact(added to what I previously stated) should get your shots on a tighter dispersion.

PS.... dont break that glass table!!!!

no look at his hand position prior to takeaway!

right hand is way weak that has slice written all over it....for me atleast, but is takeaway is a little inside.

I love you guys. You are family.
No I dont snap hook. I can work the ball pretty good both ways most of the time. I have a combination of a strong left and weak right...am trying to find the best combination.
Again, this is what I think I am trying to do. I will try to include videos of actual impact at a driving range.. Thanks for all your help. You guys rock.

Nothing about his right hand grip is weak.

    • Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.
    • Thank you, currently I only had the 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 irons in the bag. I was never finding myself in a situation to use the 4 and 5 so I dropped those a while ago. The 60W is what I've been practicing with the most in the back yard, but that's only with short chipping. I don't think I've ever practiced hitting my wedges at 80% - 100% apart from yesterday. Maybe I should be doing that more. Generally I would be using a 9 iron if I was out about 75 yards or so. I am not really sure I understand your mention of the 60W and 3H. Aren't these going to be giving me completely different results? Unfortunately I am not able to adjust the loft on the hybrids I have. I looked into the Shot Scope H4 you suggested and this seems really neat and handy, however I am struggling to understand how it works. Am I correct in assuming it doesn't track the ball distance until you hit the ball a second time? Say I drive from the tee and walk up to my ball, tag the next club and hit the ball. Is it at this point when I tag my next club while standing next to my ball that is knows the distance? Thank you, I am going to give the local shop a call and check their prices and see what they can offer.
    • Do you know what their handicaps are? The handicap system isn't perfect and given the higher variance from higher handicaps, I think low handicap players would be expected to win maybe 60% of their matches? I'm not exactly sure what that number is and it will vary with the handicap difference, but if they're generally very low handicaps, then they might be at 60% likely to win a game. Given it's 16 vs 16, that's a lot of games to win. If it's 60%, then that's around an 80% chance that they'll win a given match. At 80% chance of winning, 21 wins in a row is about 1 in 108 times. Pretty unlikely, but not unheard of. It's pretty sensitive to what that individual win percentage is too. If it's 65%, then 21 wins is about 1 in 9. If it's 55%, then 21 wins is 1 in about 5,700. Clearly it's not as simple as this because that win likelihood is going to change match to match as they play lower handicap teams or higher handicap teams, but I don't think it's a "yes they're cheating" thing at all.
    • I'll be honest, the only reason the 2 iron was in my bag is because I tend to hit the ball into the tree's fairly often. And I was using it to help me keep the ball very low to get out of the tree's while avoiding getting much loft to hit branches. I guess I can drop the 3H as well. Would it be wise to give a higher loft fairway wood a try as well, something like a 26 degree? I believe there is only one golf shop where I live that has a golf simulator and trainer. I see they offer free fitting with a purchase from the fitter. I'll have to check how much they charge without a purchase, I've read a few stories about fitters on this forum that just wanted to sell the person the most expensive clubs and that kind of deters me a bit. They do offer lessons as well. I'll give them a call and ask them a bit more about these services. Thank you!
