Well lately my swing has really been dissapponting me. I've been pulling, high spin low shots, no power shots, everything! All I can say is here are some videos of my current swing:





Any tips are appreciated, I think for one I may have the ball too far back in my stance. I'm using a 6 iron.

Thanks again!

P.S.
Is it alright that I keep posting threads like this? Or is it annoying to you guys? Just checking.

You might want to make one thread and keep all of your videos, forever, in there. If you can point me at some others I can merge them for you.

As for these swings... you get a bit stuck coming down. Your hips push forward well and you finish in a position that looks okay, but your right hip is in the way coming into impact. That's why you "jump" through impact a little early and your right knee sags back down. Try to get the right knee to bank inwards longer - roll the right foot in, don't let it pop up onto the toe. You're pretty close.

Well my swing sucks, but ive learned a thing or two about the swing lately. You are straightening your right leg on the takeaway and letting your weight transfer to the outside of your right foot, right there, most of your power is gone, and you will also get "stuck" trying to shift your weight, because its so far outside, its hard to get ALL your weight to your left side....

Hope that helps! Im still working on just the takeaway, so dont feel bad, youve got a nice smooth swing man!

Keep at it!

Straightening the right leg is fine. Every good ballstriker does it. If anything, you could probably straighten it a bit more... You have to or you can't turn your hips. Also, completely disagree that the weight gets anywhere near to the outside of the right foot. It doesn't.

These two things don't add up, farther back in the stance means more push. It could, however, be mental. Sometimes when the ball is farther back, the brain corrects and you come over it more. To answer you, yes, the ball is way too far back in the stance, for most... Ball position can be quite personal, Demerit played it way back, for example.

I would move it forward, and focus on bringing the club from the inside, with a nice wide arc. Just answer this, do your shots feel like they have a lot of friction when the club hits the ground?

Well today after an hour of swinging the club back just to see if I could fix anything, I seem to have found a much more neutral swing plane. And when I hit real balls into the net out back, it felt pretty effortless, as if I just glided through the ground and the ball.

The practice ball however, I kept thining. So the friction most of the time is pretty low.


 
 


Not sure if this will help much, but it looks like you finish with a lot of your weight on your toes. Try to pretend like your rear is against a wall, and keep it from moving closer to the ball. That helped fix a lot of my swing problems when i started doing that.

you are starting you downswing before you finish your backswing. I saw an article with a golfer swinging a paint brush full of paint and if you visualize swinging a paint brush full of paint and you take your backswing back without letting any of the paint fall out of the brush this help you take a slow and deliberate backswing and as you start your forward swing the paint should all fall out at the ball or at impact, this visualization might help you with your tempo and could help you complete your backswing and transition into your forward golf swing.

I also noticed your hips are pointing slightly right at finish instead of at your target, are you pushing your shots.
