I got subscribed today to this ice looking forum. I introduce myself with my golf swing. I'd like to have tips, advises, comments, opinions....Thanks.

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.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
