I've been Playing Golf for: Around 5 years on and off.

My current handicap index or average score is: 13,3

My typical ball flight is: Straight pull

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: any pull shot

Hi there! Well i filmed my swing as usual in Sweden(explains my english) yesterday but im still struggeling with coming a bit outside to in it seems. For me it seems my swing is pretty good on the plane until on the downswing and im suspecting it depends on my strong hip/leg turn. Also it feels like my hands is not coming in at the same spot as at adress. Do you guys agree with me, and do you have any other suggestions on things to improve on? Please be critical!

Making progress?

This is from the range today trying to apply stack and tilt teqnique. I think it looks better, however had so many swing thoughts today so it was hard to swing natural.

I might have only noticed this because it's something I've been working on recently.  I think you should have a bit of a steeper shoulder turn.  To achieve this you can experiment with side tilting to the left a bit more (but watch out--you don't want to dip your head).  It's hard for me to tell in this photo but you might also want to get your hips tilted more as well, by feeling that the right hip is higher than the left.  Getting the right leg a bit straighter by the top of the backswing will help with this.

thanks, right now im working on the hip motion, keeping head at same spot, keeping my right knee pretty straight at impact, not strengthening my grip to much so a lot to going on in my head while swinging atm but gonna keep in mind to analyze my posture later. Also my posture may look a bit weird because of me tilting so much at starting position, It's just a drill I use now to get into better position at impact which I will get rid off later.

I will definitly try to change this especially straightening the right leg at that position, it's weird how you can get blind when analyzing missing the obvious flaws :p

Just to clarify, you want your right knee to straighten on the backswing, but gradually return it to its flexed position by impact.

Okay I think I get it, flexed but not pushed out at impact like the left knee is on the top of the backswing right?

Played 9 holes solo today at my home course

stats:

Double bogeys: 1  Bogeys:4  Pars: 4

score:42(par=36)

Fairway hits:  71 %

Gir: 44%

Putts: 36

played at my handicap today I had 3 swing thoughts; lean forward, straighten right leg at top and steady head. Overall had many nice shots, but I notice i have been on the range to much and dont feel so comfortable playing on course.

This week I will participate in two competitions so I hope my training pays off.

Now im gonna watch greenbrier classic =) peace out

Most of my shots were very solid today so I guess I shouldn't complain, but I just don't like the look of my swing. Any tips what to work on next?

Yesterday I was confused why my swing looked so uggly so I went to youtube to find advice. Finally my swing looks like something I like and my shots were fantastic today with all clubs.

Things I can see to work on from the video, hands more away from body at setup, clubface more open at top, steeper shaft lean at the top and fix the early release of my hips.

New swing thoughts.

  • Ball position more away from body.
  • Little bit more athletic position at setup.
  • Left shoulder start swing, no legs or wrists.
  • Steeper path from when the wrists break in backswing.
  • Steeper clubshaft angle at the top aiming at the ball or closer.
  • Right leg much more straight on downswing, starting the swing with lateral hip movement with the left knee moving towards the target.(Priority 1)
  • More wrist follow through after impact.

First video I think your setup is a little too upright.  The second video is closer, but you slouch a little bit in the last videos.  I've never been that good at analyzing swings, but thats what I noticed with your setup.

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
