Guess the Handicap

[Shanks A Million]

Ack! I was going to say 13 too, I think I even edited it! I changed it because the hip slide looked too absent. I am truly amazed how many people thought he was near scratch. I've seen some scratch golfers with odd swings, but their impact area and followthrough were always present. This guy's club is too steep and too vertical at impact, a problem I often get into. When I'm in that phase, I could barely break 90.

12..........

10.3

First three elements to work on:
1) keeping a flatter plane towards the end of the backswing (too much over rotation of the wrists at the top)
2) while fixing 1, work on bringing the butt of the club to the ball to try to increase his lag (seems to be releasing a bit early)
3) flexibility, it appears that since he may not be as flexible as he was when he was younger, he's trying to overcompensate at the top of the backswing by winding up instead of coming parallel at top with the shaft pointing to the target. since it's slow mo, it could also be tempo, but would have to see it again in real time to determine that.
