My Swing (andycolluk)

Just a heads up, the video does not work. Maybe try embedding it again, and make sure the video is not set to private.

I like how steady you keep your head and maintain your inclination to the ground... Very nice.  It looks like you have a lot of lag too on the downswing.  But your takeaway is definitely something that I believe could be improved.  I don't know, you seem to get the club slotted quite well, but the way you load the club from A2 to A3 and into A4 looks like you are barely holding onto the club - and it is kind of noodling around.

Have you tried working on your vertical hinging of the left wrist from the shaft parallel to your arm parallel to the top?  That hinge pin looks odd to me in your swings.

Why do you hate your swing?

Check this out...  This is A3.  At A3 - your shaft is well under plane.  Try getting that vertical wrist hinge at A3 and stand the shaft up more.

Here is a very simple tip from Michael Breed on getting the proper wrist set at A3 to A4.

This should help you get the shaft on plane - and more vertical.  As mentioned, it looks like you were too loose (noodly) with your hands.

The reason I do not like my swing is just because in my eyes, it does not look natural. Perhaps this is just my own biased perception however compared to a Rory mcilroy, tiger or Adam Scott, it seems way off the mark.

No worries bud.  One thing I'd recommend is that you setup the camera so that we can see the geometries better.

Please read this blog post which details how to setup the camera for optimal viewing analysis.

Lastly, I'd recommend that you film in addition to your current Down-the-Line (DTL) view... To film a Face-On (Caddy) view, as well as a Posterior (Rear) view.  A guy at your playing level, we need better camera shots to see what is going on.

Good playing.

Dude, I hear you.  I feel the same way.  There's something about seeing your own swing on video, especially for the first time.  "Whoa ... THATS what I look like?  Yuck!"

However, if I can make it function properly with it still being ugly, I'd much rather that than having a "pretty" swing that doesn't work.

Well, it looks like you hit it far enough.......so the only other thing is accuracy. How accurate are you?

When you get to a level of golf that you're playing at, does it matter what your swing looks like?. Instead of looking at Scott, look at Senior.

IMHO, you are well past the point where a little tweak to c6 or an elongation of p12 will yield any accuracy.

The accuracy is in your mind and in your hands

Nice swing too.

To me the transition looks slightly quick, but pretty decent overall.  Interested to see what the other guys think.  Nice swing though!  Also I don't know if it is the camera angle/vanishing point, but it looks like you are hitting slight pull cuts and not draws?  Your feet are aimed slightly out to the right and it appears you are pulling the shot back across to the left.  Look at the second shot in particular.  I do this a lot and always look for it in my videos.
