I've been Playing Golf for: 6 years

My current handicap index or average score is: infinity
My typical ball flight is: inconsistent
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pull hook

 

Against my better judgement, I'll go ahead and put a couple of video up, but first a little about me.  From the get-go I've had two big issue; I ginormous over swing, and not getting my hips through.  I do take lessons, but not as often as I'd like.  The videos below were from two days this week with a couple of new thoughts I'm working on.  I think these are about as good as I can expect right now, but I can't repeat it.

Slow mo videos? Face on?

What does your swing look like if you make a practice swing a foot above the ground?

Sorry, my ability to get videos of myself is pretty limited.  I can probably get a face-on, but I usually get slo-mo by reducing the play speed on YouTube.

While I can't help you with your swing as I'm a novice myself, all I can say is good luck on your journey to improve at this crazy game.  Hopefully you keep with it.

Yes, if you have someone there to take a video for you.  I'm somewhat limited in that I'm using a tripod and app that detects and records my swings.

So I did another4 "range session" today and did my best to get a DTL and head on video both at regular speed and what slo-mo capabilities the app I use has to offer.  For some stupid reason the slo-mo, which wasn't that "slow" anyway, added more personal info that I care to post so I'm not including that.

If you have a phone that records in slow motion then just hit record on your phone and then go to your ball and hit. You can trim the excess before you upload the video.

The think slow-mo on my phone only records for a few seconds.  Not nearly enough time for me to hit record and get to the ball before it ends.  I guess I can play with it and see.

      Failed to hit “done” on yesterday’s post - so we start over as that’s two missed posts in the last couple of weeks.   Day 1 (9 Mar 25) - Some 50° wedge fun this afternoon in the backyard.  Worked on making smooth swings with good torso rotation - really zeroing in where I wanted the ball to land AND then making sure I watched the ball leave before looking up as the swing finished.  The latter focal point is one that has begun to pay as I’m seeing better green side accuracy - more up and downs made.

      Just had a club event and played 5 nine hole matches. Shot 39-36-37-35-40. Just a really good weekend of golf even though the last 9 was a struggle to swing the club the last 5 holes. The highlight was a turkey to cap off a match for a tie.

      Day 160 - 2025-03-09 Got some work in after a long day. Only about 15 minutes and only about 21 golf balls, but… They were focused on the backswing with a pause, then a decent bit on the downswing.

      This weekend I knocked off #10...a short 375 yard par 4....hit a hooky 4 wood that found the sand left leaving 165 into the wind. I hit 6 iron to 2 feet and tapped it in. All I have left is a par 3 that has been tricky this year.
