I think you get the clubhead way, way too far behind your hands at the start of the takeaway. I think you get well too far across the line at the top with your hands way too high. Your swing currently requires too much timing given how quickly you rotate the face open and then have to rotate it closed coming down. I think you're not likely to be an accurate player.

Why and how do I think these things? Because I used to suck the club back inside, get across the line, and need good timing too.

I also think YouTube sucks for swing analysis, so who knows what else would be evident with more views and better video.

Yeah... way to inside. When your club should be down the line on the backswing, it is already way behind you and the shaft points what looks to be 45 degrees or more to the right. Hard to tell for sure, but starting and stopping the video showed this in one frame.

First thing I noticed, and I noticed it because I have a tendency to do it too, is that your backswing is very wild and you're more or less whipping the club, so that at the top of your swing you have almost no control over the clubhead. I only watched the first swing though.

In my bag:
'07 Burner (10.5*) Driver
Unknown model 3 & 5 Woods (next to get replaced)
Rescue (21*) Hybrid
Di7 4i-GW 56/08 Oil Can Wedge Rossa Blade Putter NXT Tour Balls

Your set up looks great. Good posture and your body is well over the ball.

I agree with the rest of the posts though - you take the club back way to far inside which means by the time you get it up you have crossed the line.

Work on a wide take away - keep the clubhead insdie the ball, but outside of your hands.

    • Wow, largest ever 36-hole lead at the Masters. Seems good. I don't really have much to add, but I'm having a great time nursing a cold by watching this tournament.  I doubt Rory fumbles this one, but you never know. As a fan, I hope he can close this out with two rounds to go.  I saw a funny comment somewhere where someone said Bryson should try to 3D print himself a green jacket. 
    • Day 234 4-10 Blending hip/chest rotation backswing work and wrist arch in downswing. Pause at the top and slower swing. Recorded and hit foam balls.
    • Day 2, April 10 2026.  After watching today's excellent Masters broadcast, I have hit 18 balls, one at a time, each after doing the pelvis limiting drill.  
    • Day 33 (10 Apr 26) - Played in the club Friday shootout with a slight twist as the course was setup for tomorrow’s local “Masters” one day tournament.  The pins were in some slippery places and the greens firm and bouncy.  Overall made for staying the process all the more important especially on the greens. 
    • Rory up by six - makes me wonder if the powers that be will adjust Augusta’s moving day setup to be uber tough or uber getable to get a few closer.
