I've been Playing Golf for: 1,5 years.

Football/soccer was my main sport for 20 years This however came to an abrupt end because they discovered I had a hearth rythm disorder. Shortly after getting this bad news I attended a golf clinic. Following that I never looked back and might even go so far to say that golf is actually more fun.

I've had about 20 lessons with a local PGA pro. 60% of those lessons were focused on my swing.


My current handicap index is: 34

My typical ball flight is: Pull & Straight

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Pull Hook & Slice


I'm looking forward to what you guys have to say.

Welcome to the site!

One thing that stands out to me is the amount the head moves to your right on the backswing. The steadier you can keep your head, the easier it will be to hit the ball solid. I would also recommend you turn both feet out at address.

Check out the video and this thread. Good luck!

As mvmac said steadying you head would definitely help you a bit. I would try to eliminate your sway on the backswing. You're exaggerating your weight shift and shifting your whole body back about 2 inches in the backswing and are never really getting the shift forward enough in the downswing. I would try to keep your body from swaying back by just shifting the weight from one foot to another and not forcing it with your sway. Try and keep your head and torso pretty steady in terms of lateral movement. One more thing that may help you is starting the downswing with your hips instead of your shoulders. Make the first movement on the downswing be a turning of the hips instead of a turning of the shoulders. Pull hooks and slices are caused partly by an "over the top swing" and this will help the club get a little more to the inside and try and hit some tigher fades and maybe even some draws. those are the key points in your swing. Honestly, your swing does not look like a 34 handicap's swing. So mainly I would work on your short game and that will probably lower your scores more than anything else. I hope this helps a bit and good luck!

[U][/U]Thanks for the advice guys. I believe I saw a swimming noodle at my driving range the other day. I'll click that on my alignment rod to copy the drill as shown in the video below: [URL=http://www.golfchannel.com/media/swingfix-steady-head-iron-drill/]http://www.golfchannel.com/media/swingfix-steady-head-iron-drill/[/URL] Can hardly wait to try it out.
