I'm currently uploading some of my swing videos.

my, down the line, swing video will be up later, I can't find my charger for my camera and it just died.

I am coming over the top just slightly, its a problem that I have been working on for a while. I bring the club back a little on the inside. There are a couple other flaws i'm working on.

let me know what you think, and sorry the video is dark, I had been out there all day and just decided to get my camera out last minute!!

thanks.

Club is a 7 iron.

really nice swing. you've got great angle retention. the only think i can think of, and it's very slight but it can lead to majorly bad shots. your right forefinger knuckle is not in a position to help your thumb support your club at the top of the backswing and at impact. this can cause you to lose it up top, or have to regrip which usually results in some kind of bad shot out to the right. also, it will cause the club to slip in your hand at impact potentially causing a thin shot right. other than that, you could lengthen your swing plane a bit by bringing your hands higher in the backswing and not so far behind you. but, you might be working on a one plane swing, i dunno.



p.s... are you a dukie? if so, looks like we might have a meeting in the sweet 16 in a couple weeks.

Early rotation - the clubhead probably gets well off the plane (and your hands too)... which is going to lead to timing issues.

thank you, I can feel that but I always thought my grip was correct. I'll definatly work on that tommorow.

So my hips are rotating early?? I think thats why I'm coming so far inside right off. So my shoulders should start in the rotation first and then my hips?? is this correct?

thanks for your input!

Your hands flip the clubhead behind you. You shouldn't rotate your hands so much at the start - they go out and the clubhead goes behind you from the DTL view.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
