Looks like you are holding driver. That said, your ball position is too far back. you want it about an inch inside your left heel. Looks like you have good tempo right now and looks like you are making a good shoulder turn with no reverse pivot.

Do you have a Down The Line view? Also, if you upload on Swing Academy i can slow motion the video and provide more help

i will try to get the different view, i've never used swing academy, is it as simple as photobucket?? .... when you say the ball is too far back, i've worked on trying to get it further up (i do play it back some) but i seem to hook it when i do that, any reason that could be?

Yes, swing academy is easy to use. Its free and you just upload the videos. It allows you to slow motion them and thats the best way to analyze your swing.

If you are consistently hooking the ball when it is placed in the proper position, you are probably releasing the club too early. This is causing the face to close slightly at impact and hook the ball. Another reason could be your grip is too strong, and therefore you to hook the ball. A third is that mentally, you feel the ball is too forward and you wont be able to reach it with your club. This causes you to shift laterally towards the ball and therefore alters the clubface at impact. Any of these sound plausible?

1. my divots are normally at or just right of my targets, that means im swinging on the correct plane, i think i may be flipping my wrists too much on occasion

2. my golf buddies say my grip is neutral ??? im not sure how to tell 3. theres a good chance its mental

grip is extraordinarily important. Improper grip wont allow you to develop adequate lag, allow you to hit down properly, or allow you to release the club. Check out my thread called "gripping the club". theres a video in there. i suggest watching it. also. ball position wise---place the ball in the proper location and just take your swing. Focus on not compensating for the ball position and trust that that is were its supposed to be. You still want to be takign a normal stroke at the ball. Do it at the driving range. Worse comes to worst, you hit a bad shot. No big deal.

I would like to see a closeup of your grip. Your right hand looks very strong but it is hard to tell. The swing looks alright. You may be straightening your right leg on the backswing but that is much easier to tell with a down-the-line video. What is your handicap? What specific problems are you trying to address?

      Winter Depression Thread

      By StuM ·

      Not sure this is the best thread but, if the rain holds off, today is my 1st round of the year.  Getting ready I can not find my Shot Scope.  I guess I put it away too well for the winter and thus that is may "Winter Depression".  I'm sure I put it somewhere that made sense at the time.
