hey guys...

i finally made a video (low quality and i forgot to get my feet in the shot, sorry) of myself swinging, and there's obviously some things amiss in it.

most noticably to me is my follow-through. i know it's not supposed to loop out there in front of me like that, it's supposed to be more around, right? i've got a handicap of 11-12, and have had half a dozen rounds or so where i actually managed to get into the upper 70s, but a lot of that is really just luck. i've spent so much time in trouble that i've gotten pretty proficient at getting myself out of it. recovery and putting are definitely the strongest points of my game, with my irons by far being my weakest.

so anyway... i'll officially embarrass myself for the world by posting this quick little video of me making a practice swing with a gap wedge in the garage and thank everyone in advance for whatever advice they can offer.

Similar thoughts to the others - nice tempo.

Do you hit balls thin at times? If so, it appears you may be lifting during your swing. If not, please disregard b/c I don't want to put a negative in your head.

Plane line seems awfully vertical to me but maybe its just the angle?

Are your misses mainly right or left? I'm guessing if you are that vertical your misses will be mainly right but grip and other things can affect this.

yeah, the plane line is pretty vertical. that's something i've been trying to fix but just can't seem to break myself of the habit. any drills that might help me along with that? misses are mostly to the right by about 10-15 yards. i rarely actually slice the ball, i just get a bit of a push-fade. i really strongly suspect my left hip isn't clearing in the downswing - it turns, but i'm honestly not sure exactly how far it's supposed to turn. i'm not exactly mr limber, either, so they may just simply be turning as far as they want to go.

i'll try to post a more down-the-line video tomorrow (which hopefully will include me from the knees-down as well).

Looks like a practice swing to me. We need some live ball hitting.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      I had a few tweeks in the bag. I took out my Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron replaced it with a Titleist GT2 7 Wood. what a change that is, so easy to hit, it goes so high without it ballooning on me. I couldn't get rid of my callaway woods ( Rogue ST Max LS ) but changed the shafts to Diamana BB 63 stiff for the driver and 73 stiff for the 3 wood. Than i got myself a new putter Odyssey S2S jailbird yes i joined the centershaft family

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      First off all i think you should use the same ball all the time. We all strive for consistency on the course, the only factor you can be sure it will be always the same is your ball if you always use the same. So i think we should always use the same. I recently switched from Titleist Pro V1x to Srixon Z-Star Diamond because it i get a bit softer feel around the greens and same results on driver and irons
