I apologize. Here are the photo bucket links. Sorry they are kinda long. I had no one to hold my camera for me and I couldn't figure out how to edit them.

Two things I noticed right away...

You hinge your wrists very early in the backswing... actually it is in the takeaway.

And you backswing is way inside.

However, it looks like you make good contact and have good position at impact, so if it works for you then go for it.

But if you want to get more consistent I would work on taking the club back on a more outside plane and let your wrists naturally hinge.

Just my two cents. Good luck.

You're an 8 index, which is lower than most people on this message board. I think a lot of people refrain from making comments on players that are better than they are, instead we try to learn from you. At least that's what I do.

Personally, it doesn't look to me like the backswing is way inside. Maybe just a little, certainly not as much as many of us. Camera angle on the driver DTL isn't truly DTL so it's hard to tell. It's just a little off to the side. It appears you approach the ball from the inside on the downswing, and I think we all know that is a good thing!

This reminds me that I really need to get my swing on video. I'm hitting my driver better than ever so I want to see if it's just a fluke or if I'm actually doing something right. LOL

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 2: August 12.  I did 25 balls of the ruler drill from LSW for putting.  24 of the 25 stayed on the ruler through 36" but some were smoother than others.  I suspect if the ruler (and goal) had been 48" far fewer would have stayed on.  I'm trying to go by sound, and not look, since when I attempt short putts, I don't want to look (although now I wonder if that's conventional wisdom that turns out to be wrong).

      Course Ratings and Slope, Difficulty, and Hole Stroke Index

      By mdl · Posted

      I always knew it as high but never that distance was 90-95% of rating! That has always played to my advantage. I never have but I could totally vanity cap myself by playing **super** long courses that are otherwise super easy. There was one course like that in LA that I used to play that helped my cap like that. The back tees were close to 7k yards, but otherwise the course was incredibly easy. Wide open, misses almost always had a play at the green from the adjacent hole, flat greens, not challenging green complexes, etc. But it got a high rating because it was so long. So I could swing hard, spray and pray, and score well (relative to my handicap).
