Hello everyone!

I am golf coach and instructor and just wanted to post my swing as I am in the process of rebuilding my swing.  I am currently working on trying to keep from crossing the line at the top and feel my backswing pivot is off which also contributes to a few issues in my downswing.

I look forward to everyone's take on my swing and interacting more on this site.

I've been Playing Golf for: 26 Years

My current handicap index or average score is: 1.3

My typical ball flight is: High Cut but trying to have a high draw

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

Wes,

We have a video coming out that will be very interesting for you.

I'd trace back to A2.5 to 4 and start cleaning up those pieces. Will share some more thoughts later on…

@waltice1

So, even though it's close to "lining up" at A6, Wes, it's getting to that point very awkwardly with lots of compensations.

Erik,

Would you agree P4 is part of the problem?  Across the line at P4 would cause me to get steep at P5.  Then in order to get it to line up at P6 I have to add some right side bend and prematurely straighten my lead knee.

Look forward to your thoughts.

Also, I tried getting to a solid P4 position, then would hold that position for a 2 count then transition and hit the ball.  Seems like this gets me into a better P6 without it being to awkward.

Absolutely, yeah. I thought I was making that obvious but in hindsight, sorry, I hadn't. :)

Yes, more of those. I'd look to control it with the amount your left arm is turned (third accumulator type stuff). It counter-rolls a bit and gets you across the line, and your wrist conditions allow it, rather than feeling like the shaft is laying off.

A two-count is good to start but I'd love to see it reduced quickly to a half count if that: make a "practice backswing" and then, if it's good, fire the downswing pretty quickly with the club still feeling in that good position. If it wasn't good, re-set and make another practice backswing, and then again, if good, fire the downswing. Almost no pausing.

You have to learn to do it in motion eventually.

Thanks Erik!!

I also think that my right elbow maybe flexing too much at P3.5 - P4.  I was thinking I should feel it doesn't flex as much and also feel more left arm rotation to achieve the laid off feel.

Your thoughts?

You could flex it more, sooner (more by 2), but I wouldn't worry about changing it from 3.5-4. If it's over-flexing then that's because it's trying to catch up from not flexing much from 1-2.5.
