I was playing around with the SwingReader app on my iPhone. Here was one with an 8 iron. Please let me know your thoughts/suggestions.

you have to actually hit a golf ball to get a accurate video...

- It looks like you roll your forearms a bit at start.
- A little less wrist hinge at the top would probably be beneficial (front view would help).
- It looks like you lose the wrist hinge a bit early on the downswing (again, front view would help).

I usually find these three things all go together... all about being a little too active with the arms and hands on the backswing. But the rest of the swing looks real good (nice tempo, balance, and positions).

This is a great observation. I reviewed this after reading your response and it is clear as day! Thanks.

I will work on my hands being more silent on the takeaway.

Yeah.. like James said, you really need to hit a ball, outdoors.No offense, but I guarentee you your swing looks nowhere near that smooth and controlled on the 1st tee.And that's when the swing flaws creep in, which is the whole point of posting a video for people to help you with..
A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

 

Not bad... looks like you probably hit a fade with that swing.

do you hit a block or fade? I cant make this video go slow enough, but seems like you dont roll the wrist over to me. May be the blur as I try to stop the video.

If you looked at me taking a practice swing in the living room, you'd think I was a tour pro. Not the case. Everyone has a beautiful practice swing. Not many have a beautiful actual swing. This swing tells us absolutely nothing about your real swing.

    • Yea the first season was great. I never played the second game so I am basically blind to most of the story (with some exceptions). I have to figure out how to watch it though since I don’t have cable anymore.
    • Causation does not equal correlation. Just because he "got jacked" doesn't mean that was what caused him not to win a major from 2015-2024.  There are so many reasons other than "he was too jacked to make good swings under pressure" as to why he didn't win from 2015-2024. First, winning a major is HARD. It requires a lot of luck and things to go your way over the course of 72 holes. Second, there were so many good players that came along and won majors during that time period. The longer time goes on the harder and harder it becomes to win because the skill level of professional golfers as a whole increases over time. Third, sometimes you straight up get beat, like in 2022 Rory lost to Cam Smith who shot an 8 under 64 in the final round. Rory shot a bogey free 70 and hit every single GIR.  There were plenty of other things besides "he got too jacked to make good swings under pressure" as to why he didn't win from 2015-2024.  In fact, since the 2015-2016 season, Rory has been inside the top 10 in Strokes Gained Tee to Green EVERY SINGLE SEASON. Think about that for a second. 9 straight seasons he was in the top 10 of a key statistical area measuring full swings and you're trying to argue that he was too jacked to make good swings under pressure while offering no facts or stats that support your claim in any way?? C'mon man that's a horrible take.
    • Caught up on the last two. The flow is going great. I enjoyed episode 4 with the hated drills. Good talk. I have not been interested in podcasts in quite some time until this one.

    • There is 100%, incontrovertible, undisputed evidence and proof that he wasn’t winning majors from 2015 - 2024. Even though I concede that my take is laughable, I don’t think it’s laughable to say that Rory’s major drought during that period is one of the most extreme droughts in modern golf history.  Extreme meaning, with his innate and physical talent (AND his major record pre-2015), he could’ve should’ve won multiple majors during that period. If you agree with that, then the question is why?  What was preventing him from closing the deal on majors?
