My Swing (davieboy1872)

I've been Playing Golf for: 2.5 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 8 ish (77-81 normally, on par 72)

My typical ball flight is: draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: 60 yard pitch

any comments welcome, i have a deliberate strong right hand here as i had to draw the ball around onto green

sorry, that didnt work

I love to hear a more descriptive explanation of that draw you were attempting.

haha ok hook then, when my right had is strong, i meet the ball with a slightly closed face getting left to right spin

right to left spin i meant

Does the ball tend to start straight or to the right?

when my hands are neutral the straight to straight.

when i make a slightly stronger right hand, i normally aim slightly right, the ball appears to start straight and then a gentle turn left, although this was a bit more left than needed.

can you see the video clip?? i cant for some reason

Sorry, can't see the video. Did you use YouTube?

Sounds like you have good hands Davie. BTW where do you play in Scotland?

direct link incase the above aren't working (sorry admin)

member at kames/mousevally but played St Andrews the dukes yesterday, beautiful course. And yourself?

Lochgreen and Darley, Troon.

Good set-up, solid looking swing with good balance, a bit S&T-ish.;

I wouldn't change much.

Looks like you have a powerful swing. Nice! One thing that I noticed, you are lunging at the ball with your upper body which causes your head to move forward quite a bit. So you don't end up in that reverse c impact position that is ideal. Like this photo of Hogan:

Here is thread on this site that's helped me a lot with similar issues:

Good luck!

thanks for that. been battling the upper body sway for a bit now. it will come good shortly i hope

just checking to see if i can embed this properly for future updates

Bingo, it worked :-)

Just out of curiosity what trouble did you have with embedding? You should just be able to use the insert video tab and past your full link.

What I was doing was copying the address from the address bar rather than just the URL from the YouTube info:~(

a wee update, appologies for the quality as i had to balance my iphone on my golf bag
