Hi All,
This is my first thread, so if I do something wrong, just let mew know.
I have been playing for about 1 1/2 years now and just starting to switch to S&T; swing. Please look at my videos and let me know what I need to fix.

Deeper hands. You lose the connection between the right elbow and your side.

I feel like i seen this video before.

I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.

Ok. I'm not an expert, but I've been spending a lot of time the past two months going through Shawn Clement's videos. Since they represent my new target swing, I have three comments relative to what I learned in those videos.

1. Grip. The thumb on your right hand is right on top of the club. More like a putting grip. I don't see how you can get the club to rest in the crook of your right index finger when you get to the top of your backswing so the stability of the club on the downswing, and the available power, may come into question. Check out Shawn's videos on the grip.
2. Your head is in front of the ball rather than behind it so I don't really see a tilt. You seem pretty upright to me.
3. Hard to tell in the video and i tried to stop it a few times to see for sure, but I think you're not giving full extension toward the hole after hitting the ball.

Shawn's videos are amazing. he has about 100 of them on his site. Check out a few of them.

    • Idk but I would have to imagine that a putter that is aimed where you think it's aimed would be the most important aspect of a putter

    • Nothing exposes low point control, and for that matter the general quality of ball striking like tight lies. Lol! I am at a crossroad. My days of playing with a super strong left hand grip are coming to an end it seems. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to maintain proper face control through impact as the club face naturally wants to turn over. The quality of strike and ball flight difference when I weaken the grip is stark. Problem is a weaker grip is at odds with my poor sore left forearm which I have been nursing for last few days after 3 days of demanding golf. As of now I will continue my 'transition' to a weaker grip with woods and hopefully my forearm will condition as I go along. Maybe someday I'll get to a normal address with irons too.
