My Swing (1armygolfer)

[1armygolfer]

New to the forum but long time lurker. Love the sight and all the information shared. Would appreciate thoughts/suggestions about my swing.  My big miss is a block with both irons and driver. Occasionally I'll try and save the swing with my hands and snap hook the ball.

I've been Playing Golf for: 5 Years

My current handicap index or average score is: 7.4

My typical ball flight is: Draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Block

Welcome to the forum @1armygolfer .  I edited your post to imbed the videos.  Your swing looks pretty good.  One thing I noticed is your left elbow (trail arm) is getting stuck a bit behind you on the downswing.  The video below from the linked thread addresses that.

Welcome to the site @1armygolfer . Agree with @boogielicious 's post. As you turn back keep that left tricep in front of your shirt seam. Can even put a tee or glove in your arm pit to help monitor where that "pressure point" is.

Hi @1armygolfer , you should take a look at the tips for setting up your camera angles in the My Swing forum. I'm on a phone or I'd link them for you. Maybe @boogielicious can add the link (he's an early riser so he's probably up ;-)). Your DTL camera is set up too far to the right, your ball is centre of the frame, you'll want to setup with your toeline centred otherwise some key checkpoints in the swing can get distorted by the camera. Enjoy the site, glad you came out of the shadows!

Here's the link.

Also, an example below. Notice the camera is aligned with my feet on the down the line shot and perpendicular to the target line on the face on.  I usually take my stance, put the club at my feet, then set up the camera to the club.
