Hello all, I just discovered this new app and I wanted to know what you guys thought of my swing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here are some things I know I should improve on,
- Taking the club head more inside on takeaway.
- Keeping the plane more flat on the downswing.

Cool app.

I just found it at the iPhone app store for $5.99.

I can see where this would be useful.

Look at the frame in row 3, column 1. Your right foot is already way off the ground, and your club is very upright. The frame rate isn't very high, sos I can't tell if you fix it before impact, but just compare is to row 2 column 3, where the club is under plane, or a bit flat.

It's difficult to say because of the one "down the line perspective, " but I see three additional concerns.

A) row 2, column 3. You look like you're taking the club a little bit too inside. At this point, when the shaft is level to the ground, the club would be better positioned below your chin.

B) row 2, column 5. It appears your right elbow is a bit too high, relative to your head. I just finished reading Tiger Wood's "How I Play Golf." He writes of a check point in which the right elbow, when at the top, should be pointing down. He warn of allowing the right elbow drifting too far from your side and pointing behind you. It means that your back swing is lose and disjointed, your arms are out of sync with your body, and your downswing will lack power and consistency.

C) row 3, column2. I believe that you should see your club piercing through your left shoulder in this view. When swinging through the impact area, get a feeling as though you would throw the club shaft down the target line, if you were to let go.

Nice iPhone application! I'll have to look into getting this also.

WOW! Looks like a sweet iPhone app. How did you set up the iPhone to take the down-the-line shot? Did you put it on a tripod? If so, how was it attached?

Obviously, with a 20+ HP, I'm not about to analyze your swing... but keep practicing....

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
