Hallo, fellow golfers!

I had my swing filmed yesterday and have decided to put it up here. I guess it makes more sense for you to - hopefully - comment on something filmed compared to something verbally explained.

So, if anyone can point out any faults together with drills to overcome these faults, it'd be highly appreciated.

anyone?

You could submit these to Swing Check. You also realize this is Masters week, right?

Yeah, gonna watch it myself. However, since I'm a new member here, could you not tell me where or what link this Swing Check is at?

you have a nice classic swing, I only swee a couple of problems,

I think you rush your backswing just a little, (out of tempo), get tour tempo, helps you so much.
I think your unhinging or releasing a little early, I can tell because the ball launch seems high for your irons.
I think your setup is superb and your headmovement and lateral movement is pretty good. I just think you should either strengthen you forarms and deltoids and core, or just get a coach, or try to opt for a draw shot, You would probably get more distance. Looks kind of like ernie els swing but with a amateur touch. lol. Thanks for letting me see your swing, I'm impressed.

Hey bud, just thought I'd add some input.

Oh, first off, the file size of your movie is unnecessarily large. Rapid Share made me wait an hour to download the second vid

Anyway. . .

I think you can develop a great swing but should definatly focus on a few areas which are limiting you at the moment.

Notice the following:

-you're tense at address
-your stance may be a little narrow
-it looks as though you're standing a little upright (tense)
- you straighten out your right knee on the backswing
-your wrists do not hinge properly at the top (tense?)

It looks like your backswing has some mistakes which are atleast partly responsible for your lunging at the ball on attack (notice your head dropping like that?).

    • Day 153: putted for a while using the 2 cups drill inside. Working on bead primarily. Contact was really good. 
    • Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often. 
    • So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.
    • Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.
