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

My buddies and I always joke around that bare feet on greens are the best stimpmeters available.

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?

    • Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.
    • I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year! 
    • Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water? 
    • Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.
    • Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.
