Hey guys I would love to get some feedback on my swing. I know the video is not the best but I'd love to hear any comments you have. The first is my driver swing and the second is my 7 iron.

thanks!

Can't really tell if your right knee is flailing backwards or straightening. It should be straightening (I'm talking about the backswing here).

I see what you mean. I think I'm doing a bit of both to be honest with you. I feel as though I try to keep my lower body relatively quiet but I'm not sure how successful I really am that.

Can you shoot the videos again with a cameron that is level? To be honest, the angle of the camera makes it difficult to analyze where you are at in your swing.

NO. Just kidding. I will try to shoot some more videos. And during daylight next time too. I was doing the old "set the camera on my bag" thing and it wasn't going that well :)

I'd also recommend you avoid asking your fiance to hold it. Turns out that isn't much of a great date.

Simple faults here, none of them real awful.

To me, it seems your body turn is more of a formality, not a power source. You come down all at once, with the club pretty much staying right there with your hands, arms, and hips. The hips should lead, followed by the arms, then hands, and the clubhead should follow them all. This leads to that pull-slice. The ball starts left, then turns right. It's easy to fix, yet it seems few ever fix it.

I would say, if you want something to work on, work on really getting the body involved. Make swings where you use the body alone, forget working the hands and arms. The impact will feel much softer if you do it right. It will feel a bit strange, but it's a heck of a lot easier to control.

While hitting the driver, at the top of the backswing, I think that you kinda move your head to much on the right....
And it really cool how those balls come out from the ground.... :)

You say this from experience? I already married the fiance so that's out. :)

I can definitely see what you mean, Shanks. I just don't know how to separate those elements. Do you have any tips for drills specific to this? thanks.

Hey All,

I'm looking for some help with my swing. I have been just awful on the course lately. I've never been great, but have always been striving to improve. Lately I feel like I'm in reverse. I've been hitting irons 45 degrees right, chunking shots like crazy, severe hooks, etc. I'm looking for some consistency and confidence...I'm getting tired of embarrassing myself :)

I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

From the looks of it, and this is just me rewinding and pausing youtube, but it looks like your takeaway may be to far to the outside. I would recommend not taking such a big back swing. It looks like the combination of those 2 leads to bad position starting the downswing and is giving you the inconsistency.

Any other thoughts out there?

You have a very armsy swing--can result in much badness if timing is off. Turn more with the shoulders and hips and feel like your hands go in. See deep hands thread [URL]http://thesandtrap.com/t/30325/deep-hands-explained[/URL]

thanks. I was wondering about this myself. What's amazing (hilarious?) about your back swing advice is that I know I have way too long of a back swing and that was me trying to take a smaller back swing.

Indeed. It's sort of nice, but it can really lead you to fire shot after shot without thinking about anything. I usually pull 5 out at a time, hit those and then take a quick break to make sure I don't start mindlessly swatting balls.

Yeah, looking at my videos, especially face on was pretty eye opening when I saw how little hip movement I have. I suppose this has a lot to do with my inconsistencies.

The deep hands thing is interesting in that it seems practically the opposite of what I feel I am doing in the take away. I feel like I am trying to take the club straight back and "push" my hands away from my body. I don't know if that makes any sense but that's what it feels like I am doing.

So, after reading the deep hands thread I went and hit a few shots tonight.Can anyone tell any difference from the previous videos? I FELT like I was taking the club way more inside and trying to get some more hip action but the videos don't look that different. I was definitely making way more consistent contact tonight. My back swing still looks way too long; I need to keep working on that. Also, yes, that is a star taped to my shirt. My 5-year old son taped it on my golf bag and then it got stuck on my shirt and I didn't realize it until sometime later

      My Swing (Rodders129)

      By iacas · Posted

      I usually like to fix the face, first, as the path is most often the compensation for the open face rather than the other way around. If you could get some good down-the-line and face-on video in slow motion, it'd go a long way toward helping. It's tough to see the face and I think the face-on view would show that you're not turning as much as you could/should.

      Day 86 (26 Jul 25) - Down at the beach place, had kept the clubs with me after playing yesterday.  Spent time this afternoon checking them over and brushing grooves on the wedges and irons.  Spent a few minutes working thru the swing process…working in slo mo through backswing and proper weight shift.

      My Swing (Rodders129)

      By Rodders129 · Posted

      . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.

      Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen.
