Hi All,

Here a face on video of me hitting my 6-iron.

http://www.swingacademy.com/videoPlayer.aspx?id=5417

I have a down the line view too, but my buddy who was recording rotated my phone and it shows up sideways and I'm not sure how to fix it. Let me know what you think and where I can improve. I already have a driver critique thread here:

http://thesandtrap.com/forum/threads...swing-critique

One thing I've noticed too is that I am rolling my right (back) foot a little too much that is causing some balance issues. Any suggestions on how to stop that?

The video of the 6-iron was a very nice balanced swing and I have a few more that shows my right foot rolling too much, but I can't figure out how to rotate the video to make it upright.

In any case, any help is greatly appreciated!

Where'd the ball go?

It went up up and away. The ball actually went where I was aiming and I made very good contact. It was one of my better swings. What were you thinking about it?

I don't think you held your post swing stance long enough. try another 30 seconds or so

Lighten up ;)

Had nothing to say about it so I made a cheesy comment. I think the swing looks good.

And i'll be posting my swing in the next couple of days .. feel free to rip me apart

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
