My Swing (Felenah)

[Felenah]

Hello folks I was wondering if I could get a few comments on my swing. I have a tendency to push the ball and I've always had a bit of difficulty with my driver. I also want to apologize for the poor quality video, lousy camera, as well as the fact I'm wearing sandles instead of spikes. The video shows driver first then 8 iron. Thanks in advance. ^_^

The swing looks pretty good man! I would maybe focus on keeping your head still (same position throughout swing), swinging more with your left arm, and maintaining your balance. Other than that, I enjoyed the music!

You do a nice job of getting your lower body through the ball, although it looks to me like you may be too far out in front of it for your hands to square and bring the ball back. Is your "push" a dead right shot, or does it have a fair amount of sidespin as well?

Your miss is a push because you staying behind it and aren't fully committing to swinging through the ball. Look at the video when you finish your weight is not all on your front leg - it falls back to your back leg.

Hmm mostly dead right. The drives do have some side spin, little fades, but the irons are stright pushes, when i push. lol I now I'm missing something somewhere.

I have been tring to create more of a draw without creating an issue within my swing.

Remember, a draw is created by a face that is slightly close relative to the swing path. No doubt you are coming through on the inside, however as SpringBobVol mentioned, you need to move through the ball stronger to get that clubface closing relative to your swing plane. Merely "releasing" through the ball more could likely cause snap hooks.

Hmm intersting observation, maybe I could add "commit to the shot" as I work through my preshot routine.
