I've been Playing Golf for: 6 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 18 hcp
My typical ball flight is: mid small fade
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: thin shots, hosel-side shots and right misses.

Hi, i'm new to the forum and i'm reaching out to those who are keen on good fundamentals and have an eye for small details of the swing.

18HCP who struggles with hitting thin shots and hosel-side ones. Occasional "S" here and there. I'm also finding difficulty keeping my posture when I swing 80% and above speeds.

Be nice and thanks in advance!

Welcome to The Sand Trap. A few things that will help. First, mind your camera angles. Line up on you toe line and move the camera back if you can. Second, film in slow motion. It is much easier to analyze in slow motion.

Welcome to the site and not a bad looking swing.  I can't give you any constructive advice, but looks like you have a nice set-up to practice during the quarantine.

Here's a slo-mo video:

 

 

Pretty good swing there for being an 18 handicap.  If Jim Furyk came on here and posted his swing (with a bag over his head) we'd think he was a 36 handicapper.

If you can see Jim Furyk’s swing without being able to know that it’s him somehow (like a GEARS Golf rendering or something) and you think he’d be a 36 handicap, you’re not looking at the right things in a golf swing, IMO.

Yeah, Furyk has all 5 Keys.

Let's see some good slow-mo video from the right camera angles, man.

We're happy to help, but you can only do so much (and some might be negative) with bad angles. And no FO view.

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
