I made a homemade movie of my swing using the movie mode on my digital camera. I tried to get it from a few angles. I do not know if the way I did this is the proper way to film a swing or if a proper critique can be made. A few things I would like to mention. I feel like my left hand at the top of the swing is not in the right position. I can't tell if it is cupped at the wrist or if the face is open or closed at the top. Is the clubhead pointed in the right direction at the top? I also never take consistant divots as I would like to. Can anyone tell me why from viewing this video? Thanks

I think its near impossible to critique your swing from seeing that video. Im assuming you dont hold your swing for three seconds on the course like that. Go to the driving range with a friend and also get a shot of your whole body in the swing not just your upper body, the lower body tells a lot, (Weight shift, possible reverse pivot, ball position)

theres some stuff to talk about here still tho.

Even tho you're exaggeration your top of backswing position and using a weighted club, your move thro the ball is pretty solid.

You get into the slot nicely and you have a good balanced follow through. its a good move. But cant really look at it fully until I see it regular speed and with the added factor of actually trying to acheive ball contact

I think the things you should concentrate on are your positions at address.

You could maybe work on your shoulder and head postions and try staightening out your spine angle. Shoulders are very bunched up and you could maybe benefit for trying to attain a more relaxed, neutral position.

Try posting some actualy swings if possible and post what your ball flight is etc etc

Personnaly Im a bigger believer in shaft plane vs swing plane. So it'd be interesting to see your full body and shaft positions as you hit some shots

Good luck with your golf!

    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
    • I would guess putting grooves in it might make it non-conforming. I am not sure how stringent the USGA is on restoring golf clubs.
    • If PT doesn't work, then all other options (shots) are just temporary bandages of the pain. You may do more damage. Pain is the bodies way of telling you to STOP. Once you get rid of that, you are just now using an already damaged body part and put more stress and strain on it.
