My Swing - Comments Please

[JimmyDoesGolf]

Hi all,

Finally got round to filming my swing. Take a look:



This is an 8 Iron. All comments and criticisms are welcome.

What I've noticed and aim to improve:
Backswing goes too far and past parallel, making my downswing more outside-to-in
Takeaway seems too much to the inside

Anyone notice anything else?

Thanks,
James

nice swing
1) dip your rear shoulder and this will help shorten your backswing and give you more control with your shots
2) tuck your right elbow closer to your body then your left elbow

seems like you have a pause at the top of your swing. to eliminate this, when you swing think about only taking the club 3/4 of the way back...this will cause u to take a full swing, but not go past parallel.

I'd like to see a little knee flex, but other than that, it looks good.

do you like your tempo?

if not you can try taking the club back slower and try different speeds on your backswing until you find one that is comfortable to your swing. This might help you set your position and make you swing more consistent and your shot pattern closer.

are you hips turned fully? the slower take away will help you match up your arms and your hips.

pauses are not a bad thing... take a look at camillio

do you like your tempo?

you DEFINETLY do not want to turn you hips "fully" there is a %60 rule.. turn your hips no more than 60% of your shoulders to be in the "full" position at the top of the swing, me personally I can get just as much distance with a 3/4 swing than a full swing anyday and with more control and a better tempo too!!
