You seem to take your club pretty inside. Also, you get a lot more upright on your downswing. Look at the pictures as a reference (how'd I do with them?).

Not trying to be a jerk, but put a ball down and tape your swing actually hitting a one (even a plastic ball). Not that I am in any position to analyze your swing. I'm just saying, from experience, our practice swings all look like tour pros when there isnt a ball there.

Nice athletic stance....good move through the ball into a full finish.

I'd say you are off to a great start....stay with the game!!!!!



I'm just an average hack...so take this for what it's worth, perhaps nothing .....try taking the stick back a little lower for a little while longer in the backswing. It will promote a wider arc and not an overly long backswing. A real easy way to think about it is to brush the grass for

You're getting too steep. I would bet that on your miss hits that you tend to hosel shots occasionally or hit a low fade. Work on the swing arch and flattening the swing a little. Not bad though bro.

    • I've never had my entire bag walk off before. One time (about 15 years ago) somebody did nick my range finder off my bag. I had a Bushnell Range Finder in the hanging clip-on hard-case thing on my bag. Then at the turn somebody snatched the rangefinder off my golf bag, left that hardcase behind. It happened while me and my group were inside getting hot-dogs and such. I've heard it has happened to others as well. Since then I kept my rangefinder in my golf bag's pouch for it rather than dangling on the bag in the hard case. 
    • I disagree on this. Speed training is just moving something fast, it doesn't usually require much loading. This is why when you train for body building or upping your PB's on amount you can lift it doesn't translate to speed. Actuality they can interfere with the adaptation of one another.  Yes, generally weightlifting will improve grip strength. In a lot of cases grip strength is a limiting factor on your PB's on increasing weight. If your hands give out at 300-lb deadlift, but your hamstrings are good for 400-lbs you will never PB. That is why most people use grips when lifting, to eliminate the grip strength issue.  That doesn't necessarily translate to clubhead speed.  There are plenty of golfers, who have never touched a weight, can swing fast. I think grip strength correlates because when they test PGA tour players, they have been hitting golf balls for decades. It's something that gets developed over hours and hours of practice. When the grip strength trend was going on twitter/youtube last year or what not, they tested the grip strength of MMA fighters, many can't crack 120 lbs. They work out way more than me, I crack 125 lbs+ with my off hand. My dominant hand is 165 lbs.  You have high schoolers with 120 mph club head speed, who probably don't have that high grip strength yet.   
    • Michael, look at the chapter art.
    • I have one in my bag. I put it in there for travel purposes, so if my clubs wind up not where I am I can find out where they are and hopefully get them back more easily. It now stays in there. I'm generally not too concerned about them going walkabout like this - I don't leave them unattended. I was one time at Bethpage waiting to sign in when someone came out shouting if anyone had seen their clubs since they had disappeared while they were signing in. I now leave them in my car until I'm done with signing in and go get them afterwards.
