My Swing (Patrickosullivan88)

[patrickosullivan88]

 Hi All. Been working all winter on trying to get a better swing. A lot of focus on a shorter backswing, keeping the head steady and less sliding on the way back and downswing. I've always suffered from over the top at top of backswing and a slice. I started to close the club face more on backswing to try help. Struggling at the moment to make good contact. Just looking for some extra eyes on what I should look to work on

I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 18.3
My typical ball flight is: pull or fade if clubface open
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pull or slice.

Welcome to the site @patrickosullivan88.

Do you have some slow-mo video, or some face-on video?

Yep sorry. Here in slow mo and face on from last week

So, I'd take a look at these two things first:

• The grip is likely in need of something, because it's not particularly strong OR arched, but the face is well shut at the top.
• You swing without really using your legs or any shifts back or forward, most importantly your late backswing and early downswing… you're flat-footed when you should be almost loading/crashing left (forward).
