The takaway is fine, its the down swing. In this first pic on the down swing the club head is way to far outside. Look at tigers this is where it should be. "This is when the club is parallel t

Here's some general advice that applies to a lot of things for people who know how their swing should look (you can clearly see the look of swinging well to the left in your video): exaggerate the

Swinging to the right is something I constantly need to work on. I've tried a lot of feels to flatten out my shaft and get the club head inside at A6 and the "swing hard to the right" is the only one

Sorry for asking the wrong question. Been learning stack & tilt the past month, can't think of one reason to lift the front foot - apart from winning two majors doing so :D
I assume that you are swinging it conventional - disregard my question. Adding a face-on video would get you better tipps re swaying etc.

All the best!

Your meant to have the weight on the balls of your feet.....

I meant that it looked like he was on the balls and toes, instead of solidly balanced on the balls and heels.

Ok guys,

I went to the range to work on my right leg.

How does it look now?

I was hitting it further than ever. Maybe an extra 15-20 yards. And make far more consistent contact.



Thanks!

Hey, seems I asked the right question though. OK, you won't win 5 majors now...

Nice work, nice swing!

OK, next wrong question: Why is your right arm so far away from your torso? If it were nearer, could you stay on the shaft plane between P5 and P6 (downswing, arms parallel to the ground and on)?

Please post a face-on video next time!

Far away form my torso at what point? I think this is me trying to keep my takeaway stright out rather than on the inside ( which it's still doing anyway :) )

You'll see it at P3 and P4 (lifting your arms is a no-go with S&T;), but thats not what I meant. You would see P5 and P6 at the face-on view.

I just managed to freeze the video at impact. Nice. Think you are getting good enough for a hi-speed cam now :D

This has always been an issue with me...my backswing is too quick....everyone I golf with says I need to slow it down but when I try, it throws everything off and I chunk it or something.

I was the same way.. Played golf with a good buddy who is a low hadicap .. he told me this at the range.. so now I have been working on it.. so far my swing feels better, Im making better contact, hitting the ball more consistent. and about the same distance.. But who wouldn't want accuracy over distance right?

lengthen the back leg in the back swing. you're squatting down in the backswing, you can't get any leverage and help from gravity if you're already in that position. plus, keeping a good tempo will be loads easier.

This is a hard thing for me to do for some reason. I try, but it still bends ( usually more than in the video )

What drills can I try to help me out with this?

watch this vid of erik, cause if you get your shoulder plane right, then the leg will follow suit automatically.

Wow, thanks. In my DTL video I see my shoulders change degrees so much:

Would this explain some pull hooks i experience? And the fact I have to stand so far from the ball to make good contact?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By jsgolfer ·

      Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By snapfade ·

      I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
