Driver Swing Down the Line

[wrx_junki]

My driver has vastly improved from earlier in the season but has broken apart lately while I have been mainly working on my iron and short game mostly. I wish I could have gotten some face on videos but the range was quite packed so there was no chance.

Swing critiques welcomed.

You seem to move your head a little too much as you take away for your backswing. Just keep your head a little more still. I've been working on that as well.

Nice move over all though!

Great Swing, Dont worry about head movement, as long you are back into address position at the moment of impact. Tilting your head a little bit actually gives you more coil, thus more distance.

You have an over the top swing, most likely you are slicing the ball. Your swing plane starts flat then it comes from the top and into a steeper outside in swing. Your shoulders are moving in too fast at the moment of impact. Your not hitting the center sweet spot either. Your hitting it closer to the toe (i could be wrong). Overall great tempo and great swing, keep at it!

Ball flight left-to-right? Or a block right on misses?

You're very flat at the top and then have to make a psuedo over-the-top move to get the club back in the slot to get your hands back in front of your upper body.

I'd start by trying to get your right arm out away from your body into a 90* "L" position more at the top. It'll feel like a flying elbow at first, but will get you in a better position.

My ball flight is a 10 yard push draw or a 30 yard pull.

I just figured out why I was pulling shots left and it was mainly because I was standing a tad bit too close to the ball. I changed that and it has helped me quite a bit. Maybe you are a little bit too close to the ball?

*Edit - I doubt that is your problem. Hmm, the ball flight to me actually looks like a slight fade in the video. I do see a bit of the over the top the others are mentioning. It is fairly faint, but it's there. I always concentrate on bringing the club pretty straight back by placing a golf ball behind the teed ball and trying to pass over it. That helps me get a nice broad, straight takeway with a late wrist cock and a great weight transfer/body turn.
