I've been Playing Golf for: 30 years.** See Below

My current handicap index or average score is: ~20

My typical ball flight is: Random? Getting straighter again. Too much slice.

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Massive slice off the tee.

SO I played lots of golf as a kid, pretty decent like lots of high school heroes. Averagely athletic and adequately intelligent enough to play golf in the 75 - 80 range of my local course (pretty decent private club). Massive break due to (initially) an injury and then the age old money / time and time / money scenario. Picked up the bug this spring, working on getting my swing shape back.

When I started back up again I had a massive wrist flap going on so I've mainly been working on flat wrist, hip movement / weight transfer.

This is the first video I have seen of my swing in 20+ years. On the little screen it looked OK. When I moved the camera to the caddy position it was hard to see my address, so I moved the mat and then first swing with the driver hit a structural member on the bay.

It was a Eureka moment. The following caddy view videos were shot after, and whilst my swing plane wasn't perfect it was way better than my DTL swings.

I was using a GSA too, I'll try to find a way to post up the data. Here's my first ever video...

I just got a copy of LSW and looking at some really productive practice sessions to try and salvage some of my previous form.

Hi, welcome to the site. I'd like you to work on your grip, it looks palmy and weak. Going to help create more "structure" on your backswing and reduce your flip on the downswing.

- Get it more in the fingers on the left hand, heel pad on top.

- Right hand is too much "on top", get the V pointed towards the right shoulder and the first pad of the index finger on the side of the grip.
