My Swing (acegolfer)

[acegolfer]

Here's my 7 iron swing video both down the line and face view.

This is my own diagnosis. I'm sure you will be able to find many more flaws. Feel free to add to the list.

From DTL, my club goes outside during takeaway and my club is too upright during backswing. My club face is also shut at top.
From FV, my torso moves (sways?) towards target at top of swing. My head needs to stay behind the ball. But I don't think I'm flipping, am I?

I know that I have 10+ flaws but I'd like to fix 2 at a time. What do you think I should focus on right now?

I forgot to mention that the following are my normal ball flights.

1. starts right, draw to center (40%)
2. duck hook 30 yds left of target (35%)
3. push 15 yds right of target (25%)

I'm 90% positive I have consistent inside-out swing. Given that, according to D-plane theory, if my club face is square to the target, I duck hook. If my club face is square to the swing path, then I push. If my club face is between target line and path line, then I draw.

Obviously, I want to hit straight. But I'll be happy if I can eliminate duck hook.

What should I do?

It looks like you have a flip.
I'm not sure because I can't get a frame at impact but after impact the clubhead is past your hands.

That's probably causing most of your problems.

there is 7 pages hereon how to fix a flip.

It looks like you have a flip.

I'm confused. Isn't flipping = hands behind the ball at impact?

I checked the video frame by frame. At impact, my hands are clearly in front of the ball and my shaft is leaning forward. The angle between my right forearm and the shaft is almost 150* till waist high after impact. This angle becomes 180* only when my hands are at the head level. Can I still be flipping?

clubhead past the hands.

I can only get the one after impact and it looks like the clubhead has passed the hands

HE still has some angle left in his right wrist after impact, if there is a flip it isn't much. I guess he could maintain that more, but its pretty good.

clubhead past the hands.

When?

At impact, clubhead is clearly behind the hands. My shaft is leaning forward. (I'm trying to make a still shot at impact but I don't know how to.)

[James_Black]

When?

Sorry, got it wrong. Club flex is making it look like more of a flip.

Make the video full screen. Stop at the frame you want to capture and then press. Ctrl,Pause Break and PRTSC SYSRQ together. Open up paint(or whatever video editor you use) and then paste it.

Thanks. I hope the still shot at impact works.


I had hoped that my hands were a bit forward than this. But it is nevertheless in front of the clubhead.
