HJ, The more i think about my grip the more i think its one of the main causes of my issues. In my left hand (which i thought i actually was holding correctly) seems to be the main problem, i tend to start at the flesh bit below my pinky that goes alomost in a straight line up to my index, almost missing touching the two middle fingers, it fits more in the flesh part below the start of each. How is the grip supposed to feel, is it like your coming round a bit on your left hand so feels a bit over the top? I tried it and it felt like my left arm was stronger and doing a lot more of the work (though ive not hit a ball yet to test). My right hand also seems to be an issue, mainly to get comfortable. Ive tried all three (baseball, over and interlocking) and all feel different in thier own right. The over lap feels like i dont have much control, the interlock feels like i dont have any power and the baseball (even though the most comfortable) makes me feel like im just trying to whack the ball (ala baseball!). Iacas, My shoulder turn?! What shoulder turn! Seriously though, i have a rubbish turn which might be the cause of the shoulder blade aches ive been getting today. Really need to focus on that, i dont suppose you know any good drills to sort this? I need to get the real basics right then post another swing video me thinks

HJ, Good words of wisdom, totally agree the video is awful but best i could do at the time. My son is doing a photography course so has a decent camera so will get him to film me from several angles and repost. Regarding the grip, i can never feel totally comfortable, ive change using interlock, baseball and overlap just to see what fits right but struggling to find anything that works. Do you think its worth me getting a grip traning aid to train my hands into memorizing?

Strong = good or strong = stronger solid/tight? Appreciate the reply

I've been Playing Golf for: On and off for 10 years but not played for 6 My current handicap index or average score is: 28 My typical ball flight is: Weak, hacked or big push with sometimes a slice The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Push shots.. I want to get the ball "out there!" Hi all, noob here who is looking for some decent advice on my pretty shocking swing! Ok so ive been playing golf for a few years but approx 30 rounds over those years, ive not hit a ball in the last 6 years. Ive always been poor but a few years ago i was getting under the 95 mark and was hitting some decent draws an was fairly straight. Roll on 6 years and all my mates have convinced me to come back out, picked up my first club last week and im instantly hooked, not sure why this time round, maybe its an age thing when you are too old to go out partying every week! First round - hit 22 stabelford off 28 handicap. Was pretty bad as you can imagine after such an long period of the course. Massive push shots, slices, not getting off the deck.... you know the drill Second round - confidence shot after the first round hit 16 points! (tld you i was bad :p). Went out with my mates in two 8 balls and basically got ripped the entire round (what are friends for!). Third round - Decided id spend a couple of days reading up, checking out beginners guide videos for basics. Shot 28 points and ball was being hit slightly better. Decided the driver should stay in my bag so went safe with 6 irons off the tee. 50% of drives went straight but still fell a little weak but was down the fairway so a step in the right direction. Was having trouble getting ball off the deck mind. So what im looking for is somewhere to start building a swing that wont have me as a laughing stock every weekend, im willing to hit the range every night if i get somewhere i just need some advice where to start! As you can see i have the power off an ant and the arm off a wisp! I have a couple more vids but nothing from the back so will try to get some next time im down the range. Main issue is the push shot, EVERY shot goes right of some sort, nothing goes left at all ! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)
