My Swing Vids - HD

[Jon K]

Here are my videos for your pleasure. All clips have 3 shots per clip to show consistency.

Feel free to rip me up or give me your thoughts.

Interested to hear what you guys see wrong in my swing. Always looking for constructive criticism.




P.S. Sorry for originally asking that you guys go to the effort of looking elsewhere for my videos. I should have just embedded them from the start as I've done now.

1. you're starting your downswing with your hands instead of your hips.
start the downswing by shifting and turning your hips
2. you're popping up your head as your arms go down.
don't pop your head up, stay down until after you've made ball contact.

Good call. Thanks.

Jon,
It appears there is a fair amount of elevation in your body through the hit and into the follow through. I would imagine you pick the ball off the turf....? For a more assertive strike practice hitting firm, yet halfswing punch type shots with a very short follow through. The ball should be more compressed and fly lower. You'll appreciate the feel of a really good strike on the ball.
As you transition into the full swing try to maintian the essence of the above drill.
I hope this helps as it looks pretty good already.

I would just get a little closer to the ball, with your arms hanging vertically. This will help you get some of the turning action with your hips and shoulders and not so much just with the hands as I see now on the videos. Good luck.

do you ever practice with a stick or a club on the ground to check for alignment? i find that it helps me, but then again, with my HDCP, i have no business giving you advice.

Hey thats currie park...lol... I might run into you one of these days! I'll remember your bag if i see ya... :)

Your hands are way too high at address... It looks like the butt of the club is pointing to your belly button or higher. It should be pointing more towards your belt buckle or lower. It also looks like you are standing too far from the ball. I was always taught to have the butt of your grip an inch or two away from your zipper. Getting closer to the ball could solve both problems... it will also pin your right elbow to your side from the start of the of the swing and give you the ability to keep the club on plane from start to finish.
