My sentiments exactly at the end of last year and taking the winter off did not help one bit... Hopefully you can have someone look at it for you.

A little quick, but looks pretty good. The first thing I noticed was that you're not maintaining the bend in your right knee- it tends to pull back and straighten. This forces you to adjust coming down and creates balance issues. Sometimes you're on your toes, others on your heals.

Try to turn around the knee on your backswing. It will help maintain spine angle but also creates a huge amount of resistence which will generate more clubhead speed with less effort.

Just my .02 anyway

its controlled

i could get about 5-10 mph faster if i needed to like i do with my driver when im mad

I was curious do you usually have shoes on when you golf? If you do I would practice my golf swing with shoes on.

Damn, you rip it man, keep the good work up. P.S. if you have control problems, i would suggest to slow it down. Your plane looks a little steep too, if you dont hit draws, then i would flatten it out.

Close your stance!!!!!

Actually, if you stop motion on the video I think he is in some some very nice positions. Good position at the top. Nice coming into the hitting area with the right elbow at his side. Stays behind the ball very nicely. Nice little reverse "C". Excellent release on the follow through. I can see where you could be a formidible player.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

    • A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
    • Played Green Knoll today, made three birdies. #10, #14, and #16 knocked off the away composite.
