My Swing (schwack)

[schwack]

Hey Everyone,

So here is my swing. I know I have some things to fix. Using a 6-iron r7 draw

I'd rather not comment on my swing and just read what others think before I provide my thoughts/ideas.

Thank you in advance for anyone that provides comments, tips, insight etc.

Also, if anyone has drills or practice methods I can use that would be great! I go to the range often and I need to make my practice more effective!

The birds are chirping today!

Before anyone who is qualified to make comments on your swing chimes in, you will probably want to post a swing where you actually hit a ball. Practice swing =/= to real swing. Go grab a plastic ball and plop one into your neighbors yard. They wont mind, lol.

Ok PinGKEN.

Here's some new vids. Hitting an "almostGolf" ball. Still using 6-iron r7 draw.

The start of your backswing is very 'handsy'.It should start more with your shoulders, and in the picture above the club is way too far inside for this point.Try bringing it back straighter at first and then letting your right elbow fold naturally to get the club on plane.The second set of videos are pretty much the same.I'd work on those things first.

Thanks for the advice Tiger Spuds!

Hey Tiger Spuds,

How did you get that still frame from my videos?

I think that would be beneficial for me to be able to see my swing in different stages.

I don't know what he used, but when i do stills, i use Windows Movie Maker, there is a camera symbol on the right hand size below the viewing screen, that will take stills.

Thanks for the reply saevel25.

Unfortunately I have a mac. I messed around with some applications but I could not get it to break down frame by frame or figure out how to take a screenshot at a certain point of the movie.

Maybe if someone has some experience using a macbook for swing analysis they could put me in the right direction. I'd like to look at frames and draw lines and angles if possible.

[Tiger Spuds]

It was rather untechnical I'm afraid.I just kept hitting pause and play quickly until it stopped where I wanted then just did a print screen.

However, you could try the free version of V1 software, it has slowmo playback and you can draw angles etc.It supposedly works on Mac, but I can't verify that.
