My Swing (brettwasbtd)

I've been Playing Golf for:​ 5 years on and off with no consistency (see my reintroduction thread)

My current handicap index or average score is: non existent....don't play often enough, but looking to change that

My typical ball flight is: erratic

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

I took lessons 3 years ago, the first few helped, the last really screwed me up.  I then stopped playing frequently.  Recently been watching a lot of Shawn Clements stuff online and I am a fan.  I can hit my shorter irons ok and with some consistency, but I have a real hard time with any of the longer irons, woods and I rarely even pull out my driver

Videos: No down the line shots, I will try to get some next time

6 iron- shots at 30 seconds and 1:10 (no editing software).  first shot went straight about 150 yards second was about the same distance with a slight fade 5-10yards off target

4 Iron  - multiple shots, most fat, combination of hook/slice

Thanks, that makes sense and I will try to incorporate it next time I swing.

Thanks all!  This gives me a good bit to work on!  I have always thought about trying to keep my left arm straight but hadn't thought about what the right arm is doing.  I will post back when I have some progress.  Much appreciated

Camera has been having some problems so I haven't been able to film.  But I have incorporated a shorter backswing and been work on the extensor action, and a stronger grip.  In general I am getting much better contact and less dispersion/spray area in my shots.  I will continue to practice and hope to have some updated video sooner than later.  Thanks all!
