they look pretty good. Third swing looks the best to me. The takeaway on the first looks off for some reason, maybe the plane? or balance issue?

total other issue: why are you barefoot?

Of course, your handicap is much better than mine so my advice probably wont help.

Nice and balanced, however, the plane on your backswing is very steep. This can cause a flying elbow and you are probably losing a bit of power.

Sam Snead loved to play barefoot. He said he could feel his swing much better that way. Just sayin.

I think your swing is pretty good...

one thing I noticed is how you tend to cross the line on the top (your club head points to the right of the target) and this may be something you could work on fixing

I can't tell for sure at the angle but it looks like you have a very steep swing. Then again I don't know what club is in your hand but even if its a wedge it still seems steep. It looks like the club *in the down swing* is in line with your neck and nowhere near the line passing under your shoulder.

If you get a chance to post another vid its easier to see everything if you are exactly lined up facing away from the camera.

yes i do have a steep swing and an extremely high ball flight but i have very good distance and i can knock it down so it doesnt bother me.

Thats good. What kind of spin are you getting on the ball? This is kind of related to a different post but on average would you say that your ball is rolling out, checking up and stopping or coming back with say, your 56 degree wedge?

on good greens spins back decent greens stops dead and bad greans about 5 foot of roll out

      Three great shots from McIlroy's group (Smith and the US Am Champ) on 12.  The amateur won closest to the pin, although I doubt the group had a bet going.

      I thought complaining about Fleetwood's appearance was my schtick   For real though, I agree with you, and when I see that, especially in a major, I'm confused.  When I play in a multi-day event at my club, I plan my clothing in advance because I want to look my best.   If no one else, their clothing sponsors should do this for them.  I think Nike used to do this with their stable -- I used to look forward to seeing their posts on the Facebook before majors to see how Tiger and Anthony Kim and friends would be dressed. Meanwhile, Jason Day is dressed fairly blandly today.  Who saw that coming?

      The hell is Thomas Fleetwood wearing? He looks like a divorced dad from 1998. Even the shoes are hideous

      I was wondering this and haven't seen it on today's broadcast OR yesterday's, but apparently Cabrera did show up.  He currently has the third highest score for the week and is playing his last hole of this year's event.  I'm not particularly keen to see him, but I was wondering if he was present, and he seems to be.

      Hatton hit 18 GIR.  That's incredible.   Rory's tee shot on #8 reminds me of a TV show, Get Smart, that I enjoyed watching as a kid.  The protagonist would often say "missed me by that much."  Rory missed avoiding the bunker by that much.
