Well im not all that good but if u are having trouble getting the ball in the air maybe try bending your knees a little bit more.

Its not always how you drive the ball, but how it arrives.

Hey, my friend. That´s your practice swing, we dont need that, we need to see the actual swing ( with the ball). Its a whole different ballgame, especially for mid- to high handicappers.

What´s in my bag

I agree that a true swing would be helpful.

What problems are you having?

If i had to judge, I would say you seem to be limiting your turn away from the ball, meaning your shoulders don't really go all the way back and you hips seem to barely move. I think that makes you a little bit armsy...

What others have said, plus casting.

We need a face on view, and a down the line view with good light. Slow motion is not necessary on Swing Academy, because the frames can be controlled with the slider.

Looks to me that your posture could be improved and your swing seems a little too far inside.

no rotation of your hips and swinging mostly with your arms do you push slice your shots?

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
