If you looked at this picture of my downswing what would you critique?

I really would like to get some videos of my swing for the experts here to critique, but I was curious to see what some might say about this shot of my downswing...

Are you talking about your avatar, or were you hitting in heavy fog?

[jlund]

^ Can you not see the picture?

No, but maybe on the wife's laptop (newer browser) I'll have more luck - the avatar looks good though.

i can't see the pic either. although i sometimes wish my downswing had a cloak of invisibility...

Not an expert at all but I read alot and take lots of lessons so here ya go...................Great left arm extension. The only thing here that you could work on is trying to flatten out your swing a little. You most likely hit a little cut right? If you were to look at this picture from behind you, your club shaft would be across the line that your left arm is making at the top, making it pretty darn difficult to come from the inside on your downswing. If playing a cut is your ideal swing and ball flight, then don't change a thing. I am working on this myself in that my club is across the line at the top, then I try and compensate on the way down by lopping a litle to bring the club in from the inside. The only thing else would be to try and lessen the angle of your shaft in comparison to your lft arm to promote more lag on the way down. There migh be more nit picky things, but if you like your swing and your ball flight and trajectory are ideal, then play your swing. Good luck man!!

My only critique is that your underarmour and nike shirts aren't coordinated with your mizuno hat. Stick with one or two sponsors.

J/K I have nothing to add and was only really posting to say that the pic showed up for me.

You do look a little steep there.But for all I know you could have a good move to drop it into the slot from that position, which is why you should really post a video.Very hard to critique a swing from a still.

Nice slacks though

Only critique is that the picture is not moving.

IMO, there is nothing in that image that looks incorrect. But, we don't know how you got here or more importantly, where you are going. A video will be necessary.

i'm not one to dish out advice but i'll throw in my 2 cents. it looks from the pic that you're turning your hips a lot. this might just be from the angle at which the pic was taken but it looks like you're turning your hips away and that's making your upper body rotate. maybe try to turn that into more of a slide and less of a rotation.

The weather in New England is finally letting up. I will do my best to get a couple videos. I would love to see what you all think.

Thanks.

Pardon my lack of gratuitous signature... I'll have to manually key one in for this post.

As others have said, it's certainly tough to make any meaningful suggestions without seeing your swing plane and action at the top. If you can post even front a side still images at the top, that would be helpful.

With that said, what is your normal ball flight?

1. It doesn't look like you are generating a ton of lag in this shot, which is something you could work on by softening your wrists and hands at your transition. Are you happy with your distance right now?

2. Also, looking at your left knee... looks like a good amount of hip tilt. You could try keeping a firmer left heel at the top and focus on turning your hips rather than tilting.

Post back when you can!

How about letting us know where the ball ended up and then I'll tell you what I think of your downswing.
