Nice swing. Your handicap does not do it justice. The only thing I would try to improve is to start your backswing by rotating your shoulders, as it appears to me that you are now starting the process by cocking your wrists.

Please don´t swing while I´m talking !!

Your body and set up position look good.

But your swing is too far inside and the shaft crosses over at the top. Try take the club back on a wider path and start the downswing with your knees and hips rotating toward the target and just let your arms follow.

I think its pretty good for just starting, its a bit too much arms in the swing but that will evolve.

Great swing, especially the rhythm--your handicap will certainly drop lower with practice.
You tend to overswing a bit (over-rotate with the shoulders due to your flexibility, thus your club goes off plane at the top and beginning of the down swing)

My advice, get lessons now (do not wait 25 years like I did)

Agreed. Your swing is really really solid but it could get even better, and QUICK with lessons. I am no swing expert, and I can't see anything in the video's besides rhythm, and some of your shoulder turn, etc. and it looks real good dude. Very Nice Swing. I'd say get lessons though and you'll get even better and quickly since you already have a good base to build off obviously.

In the side angle video you have a reverse pivot. I imagine you would see something similar with the driver in a side shot. You have to stand up and move your weight back as you come through the ball. Your power and consistency will improve as you work on it. Overall, your fundamentals look ok. It's tough to tell with the video though. Good luck!

I'll give you a free lesson right now... Score better. haha. Seriously it is too hard to tell from the videos. A good Pro will be able to spot out the small things which are actually major. Get a couple lessons.

thanks guys for the tips. i did try starting with the shoulder turn instead of cocking the wrists today at the range.. with the driver my shots were lower with a more peircing ball flight.. but some started way right and took a big ol hook back to the center, and some just stayed right. but ill continue to work on it. I think i need to work more on squaring the clubface now that I am trying to lead with the lower body.

also, I am planning on upgrading my driver. from what you can see do you think I should get a stiff shaft? the one on my driver right now is regular. thanks

  • 2 weeks later...

I do tend to shoot myself in the foot alot.. last round I played I had 7 birdie putts that turned into bogeys and 1 eagle putt that turned into par. I also overshot the green quite a few times. Aside from a few brain fart shanks I hit the ball pretty well, my putting absolutely killed me though.

Incredible swing for someone who's only been golfing a few months. As others said, I'd suggest you focus on short game...you've got a swing fit for a near scratch golfer, and it sounds like you hit the ball about as good as could be expected for someone as new to golf as you are. If you're getting that many birdie putts in a round, you should be scoring FAR better then a 20 hcp. I will say that it's obvious you start your swing with the hands instead of the shoulders though--practice starting with your shoulders, as you mentioned doing, and as you get used to the timing you should become more consistent since you're hands won't have time at the top of the swing to tilt off plane (as it is now the hands are up way to early in relation to the rest of your body).

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
