How tall are you and are your clubs standard length?

You are very very bent over at address.

You do need some clubs that fit you. Being bent over that much, and having only a down the line view makes analysis difficult, but here’s what I see.

Backswing and swing plane look okay, but it looks like you have made your downswing only with your arms and hands. At impact, your body has not turned much past its address position. In the downswing, your body movements must lead your arms and hands.

Here is a link to a free website that explains in great detail the total body golf swing that is used by most pros: http://perfectgolfswingreview.net/index.html

The main part of this site is a compilation from several well known instruction books. It is good except for the downswing keys given. The left shoulder is a much better swing key that works for the entire swing as advocated in “The Golf Swing and It’s Master Key Explained” by Noel Thomas. This book also has good explanations of extension and timing. It’s not free, but the e-book is only $6.00 with a money back guarantee. Just search Google for the title.

I hope this is helpful.

Yes, I use a bit the arms on the downswing, I'm ttrying to limit that. Anyway the shaft couldn't be parallel to the right forearm if I only use my arms. It would be as my old 8 months ago swing. Take a look.

You maintain posture pretty well. You are bent over a lot but depending on how you hit the ball, you don't necessarily need a drastic change. One thing I noticed on the last picture with the ball already on it's way is that you have very little hip turn. Your hips should be way more open at that point.

I have to agree with jambalaya. We should see two-cheeks by the time the head of the club reaches the ball for impact.

    • Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°. 
    • Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.  
    • I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
    • Day 547, May 2, 2024 18 holes with @DrizZzY using my TruStick®. Hit a LOT of really good shots today.
    • Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
