Ok everyone, I apologize off the get go for the quality and location of the video.  I have been stuck in my house for days and figured I would do this to not only see what others could see in my swing, but to kill some time.  Ended up kiling more time than I thought I would, took me awhile to figure out how to use Imovie.  I'm a little MAC challanged. Anyway, this is my swing without hitting a ball(a practice swing unfortunantely).  The club is a 7 iron.  It was the longest I could go without hitting my ceiling.  I tried others!!  Hopefully it loads and is viewable.  Here goes nothing!!

When its breezy swing easy!!!!!

There will be better videos following.  I was just curious as to what others see and can't find my other camera.

Can anyone let me know if the video even showed up? I can see it from my computer but not my phone.

Yup, the vid is viewable, but don't know if it's good enough for feedback (regular speed in low light conditions with practice swing views).  Do you have access to a slow-motion camera?

Also, you must really like black muscle shirts (bot vid and avatar pic).

I'm in no way an instructor or anything but a few things I noticed are: you seem to cock your wrists right at the beginning of the takeaway (good or bad I don't know just saying), another thing is your posture, maybe try to straighten out your back a little more if you can, your head seems to be a little hunched over and it looks maybe your to close to the ball and your standing up right, maybe try to stick your butt out a little more and straighten up the back.You look like your a tall guy so your clubs might be a little to short for you? Last thing, make sure you keep your posture through out the whole swing, it looked like to me when your started your downswing and right before impact you pulled off the ball a little bit so try and keep that head down and maintain that posture. Do you hit the ball off the toe?

Like I said I'm just trying to point out some things maybe you or others could also look at. Just trying to help : )

Good Luck

The black shirt is one I sit around the house in. It's comfortable. I spend all day in uniform and like to get comfortable at home. As far as hitting the ball off the toe, I usually hit my irons fairly well not many if any off the toe. Like you mentioned, I do feel like my clubs are a little short. They were a gift and not ones that I chose for myself. I will be posting a better video shortly. I am going to the range this weekend. I'll see what I can do about slow motion.

This is a new video of my swing at full speed.  It is from behind on the range between the 9th and 10th hole today.  Ball flight was very nice on this particular swing.  Please let me know if the link works. because I could not post my video directly on here for some reason.  Thanks in advance for any advice I may get from this.  Hope it works better than the original posts and I hope to get some feedback.

This is the same swing extremely slowed down.  I apologize for the long swing delay, I did not account for the change in speed in my editing.  First time using JES for MAC.

Club is driver.

Sequence...

Driver from behind on course, driver from side and behind on range, 6 iron sie and behind on range.

Followed by the same sequence in slow motion.

Hope this works this time.  I know there was a previous post but for some reason I can not see my own videos. Please excuse the double swing post.  Hopefully this one will at least get some feed back as I am like everyone else looking to improve my game and any and all advice is welcome.  I am working with what I have.

Make a backswing by feeling nothing more than your right shoulder going down towards your right foot or the center of your stance.

Literally feel nothing more in the backswing except taking your right shoulder down towards your right foot.

A couple of quick things:

1) Please read the rules for "My Swing" threads. Thread title should stay the way it is and please don't start new threads with your swing.

2) http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing

3) Please use the "video" button to embed your videos. Copying the embed HTML code from YouTube doesn't work.

I started a new thread bc I was not able to view my own videos. I had to put them in the way that I did bc inserting a video would not work. May be my computer though. I'm not real computer savvy though. Thanks for the advice. I'll work on that? One question, what will that change or allow me to do?

Well, now that you've asked, it's going to ruin it for you.

It's going to help you turn your shoulders more, sooner. Your lead arm reaches parallel in the backswing when you've turned your shoulders only about 30 degrees. Rates are way off.

The thing is you can't think about turning your shoulders more. That won't work. Take your right shoulder DOWN and that will work. ONLY DOWN. No rotation.

You'll be surprised... but only if you do it correctly.

I gotta say, I think you have a really good looking swing.  You go a little bit past parallel at the top of your backswing though...maybe shorten it a little to stay more on plane and to keep your timing throughout the swing.

Good luck!
