Hi there, I've been a bit at the range and tried some things. Here's a new video. I think I sway less and my release is a bit better. [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZuNV67LUNE[/VIDEO] thanks, marc

So guys, I went to the driving range today and pratice a bit. Here is my new swing: I think I am moving less to the right, turning more around my spine. I still move a bit forward in the downswing (is this bad?). I also hold the club straighter, not too much lean forward. I also think I have a bit less chicken wing. Ok, STILL a lot of work. The right hand is not rolling over enough in the follow through, the left arm still bends a bit and the knees are still a bit too straight.. Is the flexability better? The elbow is still not tucked in, ok. But hey.. I just started to change my swing ... with the first 50 balls.. ;-) But I understood what you were pointing out here and it's really a great help!! This swing was with a 7 iron and around 140 meters and straight and high. I made about 20 shots all the same. Then... I guess I was too tired, I ended up with push shots again. But still.. I am happy that your help works! Thanks again! marc

Thanks Mike, great! Actually, I have been swinging with a lot less sideway movement!!! Until someone in another forum told me that I am not shifting my weight and I started to sway. See this swing which was half a year ago. Ok, I am going up and down, but less sideway movement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR0qWMUWIUA So, I guess I can get back there, turning more around my spine and not sideway. I think I can fix this... Actually, I have compared my swing to Adam Scott's swing with the iSwing app and I don't see THAT many differences. Ok, I am moving sideway, I have a chicken wing and I am not turning enough my right arm over the left arm in the follow through, but the rest (is there any???) is similar. ;-) So, I will now try to fix the sideway movement and then upload a new video in 1-2 months and then let's talk again. Thanks for your help! marc

ok, thanks. But which major faults do you see? How can I learn NOT to pull up my left arm to avoid topping the ball? I thought that I am quite flexible, because my shoulders turn more than 90° and the hips 45°. thanks, marc

Hi all, I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years My current handicap index or average score is: 28 My typical ball flight is: 60% straight, 30% push, 10% slice The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: topped shots, chicken wing I know my swing has several faults: I have a slight chicken wing, pulling the left arm up (and also the shoulders), which is probably caused mentally, because I had a shoulder injury and I guess I am afraid of touching the ground to fat. I have several topped balls, I guess due to the pulled up left arm. I move a lot to the right, because people told me I am not changing the weight and now I am chaning it too much. :-( Videos: thanks, marc p.s.: seems not to work to embed the videos... here are the links: iron 7: http://youtu.be/EO-qQwDDLrQ driver: http://youtu.be/qZ3zZs2vW0I iron 7 down the line: http://youtu.be/9KWtE7PtKWs
