I think it's my posture moreso than my arms. I could be wrong though. I've only been playing about 6 months, so I know I have a LONG way to go. I can work on getting a video, but I think the pictures show a pretty good bit.

Sorry for the angle, my girlfriend took the pics.

OUCH....My back started hurting as soon as I seen your pics, lol! I definelty think you need to be more upright. Your ball is too far forward in your stance, need to play it farther back, I would suggest starting even with your beltbuckle.

Nice golf attire, though!!!!

Next time they give you all that civic bullshit about voting, keep in mind that Hitler was elected in a full, free democratic election- George Carlin

Your instincts are correct. Your posture is way off the mark. Google "golf posture" or do a search in this forum on golf posture. It's better to find some pictures or illustrations rather than explainations.

Yea man your sitting down lol. Hold the club out in front of you blade pointing to the sky and bend at the hips till your club touches the ground. Bend the knees a TAD and you will be in much better position

pleas work on your posture. u need to have a slight bend in your leg, not a crouch haha. try not to bend so much as the knees, but bend from the hip sockets. maintaining good posture will help your swing greatly.

First things first, the most important thing is grip, alignment, and posture. Those things happen before you ever take the club away. Its amazing with how much everything takes care of itself once you have these proper fundamentals. And if you don't have them, you will have to work MUCH harder to overcome those deficiencies.

The the following pictures of your address position so the club should NOT be in motion.

Down the Line, Face On, Rear View, and pictures of your grip. If you do that, I'll be able to give you some advice.


FYI, I can't tell much from these pictures, but let me tell you something about the head. Everyone that told you to "keep your head down", that is good and bad advice. Do NOT keep your nose pointed down at the ball through the whole swing. If you do that you will NEVER turn your shoulders to their full potential, your arms will runoff in the back swing, and then you'll have a big gap that you have to cover on the way back down to get synced up again. Let your head rotate clockwise in the backswing. Rotate, not move a foot right.

Pay for a golf clinic from the looks of it a 2-3day is what youd need lol jk well not really but that way you can take it all in and come out with a better understanding on how to make a proper golfswing

If you're not going to be constructive, don't waste time and bandwidth with a post.

It was constructive I didnt mean to offend you with the joke but I am serious with the clinic alot of courses have them they range from 200 to 1000 and even more but you

WILL come out with a better understanding of what you were doing in comparison with what you need to do to make a better golf swing.
