Been playing golf for a while. I would appreciate some criticisms as they are helpful to improving my golf swing. My swing was very flat when I was 16(20 now) and I'm not sure if it is now or not.

Here is my video of my golf swing that I shot today. Irons used were pitching wedge and 7 iron, driver is the last club I used.

Looks pretty good. What shot is giving you trouble right now?

New swing updates...today was a good day. Lots of consistent and accurate shots with a little draw.

I like your swing alot, especially the driver swing.

Backswing--you bring your hands and the club in too quickly. Start the backswing by moving the club straight back, then as the club approaches parallel to the ground, start cocking your left wrist and move your hands in.

Downswing--really nice leg extension and arm extension at impact. With your irons, you seem to not extend your lumbar spine enough into impact and follow through, but looks good with the driver.

Thanks texas. I seem to be having trouble with my plane and that advice there is very clear. Problem is I don't know what you mean by cocking your left wrist?

Also, the wierd thing is that I have been hitting the golf balls really well with my irons, but not my driver.
PW: 135 yards.
9 : 140 yards.
8 : 155 yards.
7 : 165-170 yards.
6 : 175 - 180 yards.
5 : 185 - 190 yards, and sometimes a 200 yards shot.

Driver : 235 yards. Which sucks like hell. Lol.

You generate good speed matched with nice leg and arm extension, so I'm not surprised by your iron distances.

How many degrees is your driver? Are you hitting low hooks or low over draws with the driver? Your driver swing looks too good to me to be 235 carry. I noticed you open the club face on the irons. Are you doing the same with the driver?

Noticed that at the finish, you fall back a bit with the driver, which usually means, you didn't get your hips and weight forward enough, which results loss of distance. You do a great job of extending your legs, almost as if you were jumping up into impact. Maybe try bumping your hips forward more as you initiate the forward swing.

see Greg Norman here moving his hips forward as the initial move on the forward swing.

Ah, I see what you mean about the leg extension. I've never really noticed that. It came naturally to me. Probably what helped me with the leg extension is that I can feel my weight transferring from my right foot to my left foot. I literally feel like I am swaying my hips a lot, even though I am only a little.

Check your ball position with your driver. It looks way too far back toward the middle of your stance. It should be off your left heel. That could be why you are hitting low hooks.

My favourite driver swing ever (maybe a tie with Love III and Nicklaus). Along with the hip slide, he could watch Norman's overall balance. Everything is in control with no extra movements or bouncy/recoils.

Agree, move the ball up to off your left heel with the driver.

Nice looking swing, but I agree with whoever it was that said you're taking away the club too far inside. I agree with the ball position as well, you should play it more forward in your stance. That should help you control it.

OP's swing looks really good. I wonder why his driver's distance is shorter compared to his irons? i ask because I have the same problem.

I think it's because I have a regular driver shaft. I need to change it to a stiff or x-stiff shaft since I am much more experienced than I have been 4 years ago.

Any improvements?

Regarding my comment - a hundredfold improvement - very nice!!

Is this the plane that you want me to get? I feel like I am initially moving my club outside.

You are. You simply need to cock the club up faster. Your initial hand path isn't bad - in this video it's bad. You need to

feel more like Rickie Fowler, not like Tiger under Hank Haney.

I really wish I can do this but I don't know what you mean by cocking the club up faster?

EDIT: Ahh, I got what you're saying. I used to do that, but it would bend my left arm and that's why right now I have good arm extension. If I cock my left wrist up faster, my left arm would bend going up and I don't want that.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
