I took the videos on the course, walking, so I used my lightweight point and shoot, thus the poor quality, but you can pretty much get the gist.

That swing reminds me heavily of Rocco Mediate.

Two things that I noticed:

-Try to keep your left arm a little straighter throughout your backswing.

-You have a slight over the top move. Try to work on keeping the club on an inside plane instead of letting it slide over the top.

Excellent swing, you have great rythm.

LOL! I edited out my feet shuffling before the swing. I'm glad at least you mentioned a pro, any pro. The hook is my nemesis though.

You're right. I looked at my practice swings and the over the top and lunging wereless pronounced. Stuff happens when you put a ball in front of you.

The first thing I suggest to anyone is to work on your address position, but I don't remember anything odd from your movies (though they were small).

It looks like you may have one of my problems, i.e. moving into ball on downswing (your body gets closer to ball). You may see your right leg moving closer than when it started down the line. To fix, I am working on moving my right knee into my left knee and not into the ball.

I replaced the small vids with a larger one. Much more viewable now.

Your swing looks similar to mine about 2 years about, especially the upper body.

Your back swing looks great, you probably don't go passed parallel but I can't really tell but what I can see is that your your club is across the line at the top. That is to say your club is point to the right of the target line at the top of your swing. This is usually caused by too much rotation at the hips. This makes your shoulder come from the inside too much during your downswing and your club comes too much from the inside causing the big hook.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
