My Official Golf swing thread!

Gone through a few changes, it sucks, still have kinks to work out.

This was probably in September...


After a lesson I had


This is back home a few weeks after, it feels weird still

Hi,

And what is yours swing changes ? I can see you're right foot stays down longer (positive progress) .. and downswing is more school like 2 plane (for driver swings). irons swing doesn't look too good though for your level !

regards,

I'm working on swinging around my body. I was very handsy, take it outside and be in the most retarded position post impact with my hands. I also need to work on tempo and standing taller. Kinda hard to explain what I'm really working on though

Nice. What is your swing speed? It looks like you generate a lot of power on the downswing.

I'm jealous.....my swing is nowhere near as smooth.

Three things really jump out about your swing that I've been working on:

1. you don't go beyond parallel at the top...nice position at transition point
2. great tempo and balance
3. excellent follow through....balanced and fully directed down the target line.

is your miss a push fade?

[Troof.]

Thanks for the input guys.

My miss is probably 90% left, either a dead pull or just turning it over too much. If I hit it right, it is probably because my tempo was bad and I get jumpy at it, hitting it thin.

bump, new swing video, looks like garbage. Do you see what I see?

[cocky_watchman]

looks like you take the club back shut and not on plane. Nice tempo and flow to the swing, seems like you generate some power. Better than my swing, ha ha. But so is your handicap. WIthout sounding too harsh, it doesn't look like a 1 handicap swing. I'd predict you hit quite a few shots left.

^ha well I have been struggling for a couple weeks, and you've pointed out what I'm trying to work on...but if you look at Jim Furyk's swing, from first glance you would never assume he plays on tour.

And yes, my miss is left.

[cocky_watchman]

Well at the moment the more i practice the worse I get. My short game improves massively with practice. But my ball striking doesn't. This has led me to book a series of golf lesson starting wednesday. It's too hit and miss on my own.

Do you have a coach? Obviously you know what your doing more than me, but still, if you're struggling it might be worth a lesson (hardly a lesson for you-more of a trained eye to check you out). If you have a coach it might be worth getting someone new to have a quick look at your swing.

It does seem fairly obvious what your problem is, even to a relative novice like myself-but as we know, fixing it is always tough!
