My Swing (Conorhealy)

[ConorHealy]

I've been Playing Golf for: 30 years, with varying degrees of intensity/regularity.
My current handicap index or average score is: 11 ish.
My typical ball flight is: High, intended to be a draw. Struggled with a bad slice for years. A single lesson fixed it, but introduced the left miss.
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Hook with driver, just seeking more consistency with this club. Chunked wedges also an issue, so better connection needed there.

Hopefully videos are of the quality/angle that is usable. Wasn't space in the bay to film driver properly, can update in time.

Have been a lurker here for a while, seems a good community. Would be very grateful for any thoughts. Thanks

The angles aren't too bad. But do everyone a favor next time and trim the video to just one swing. Hitting play and then watching you walk around and collect balls before you swing… a lot of people will just move on. The down-the-line was like 20 seconds before you swung.

Anyway… your swing is far too long, and your lower body appears to be getting dragged around almost entirely by what your upper body is doing.

You can see your right leg just extended almost fully to straight, which will turn it into a "pole" of sorts. There's no athletic tension in that P4, and you're going to start your forward move late and from scratch as you have no momentum forward.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. I had always been aware I was overswinging a bit but seeing this I was surprised by the extent of it. I had not considered the impact on the right leg but is very clear now you've pointed it out.

I am working my way through the instructional content on here, which is very helpful. A more technical approach than I've tried before so some of the concepts are a little alien but think I'm getting my head around it. And my copy of LWS landed last week, which I expect will help with scoring also.
