I've been Playing Golf for 40 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 9.1 
My typical ball flight is: low fade
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: left block and right pull


Videos: 

So here's me from last summer,  just after I started back playing after a break of 12 years.   I've adjusted a few things since these videos were taken.. working on keeping my club face neutral on backswing,  not letting my lead arm disconnect from my body. My ambition is to get myself back down lower than I was when I played consistently,  my previous lowest index under the old handicapping system was a 6.5 using the irish gui handicapping system.  Lifetime low round was a 71 on a par 70, and I used to very consistently shoot 76-82 as a range.  My worst miss is a big block left, which I now alternate with a big pull right for the dreaded two way miss. I practice 3 times weekly, usually with one competitive round as well since I joined a club locally last summer.  Any feedback very gratefully accepted.

A slow motion video would be better. The swing looks pretty good, but it tough to tell from these videos. Mind the angles and maybe get a bit closer.

Cheers,  youtube allows playback speed to be set as you are viewing,  I guess I'd need to run it through an editor to get a proper slow-motion. 

Keeping those there as a  placeholder,  I can see plenty of bad stuff to fix!

That's fake slow motion. He's talking about 240 FPS video, not 30 FPS video slowed down.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
