My Swing (Jonnydanger81)

[Jonnydanger81]

7 iron. About 2 weeks ago I started trying to implement S&T; into my swing. I didn't realize how much of a weight shift I still had going back but I'm striking the ball very well. I feel like I'm keeping myself centered above the ball and I feel comfortable with it. 7i goes about 160 with a slight left to right that comes from my OTT. I used to really cut across the ball to the point where my divots were pointing at my left toe. They are a lot more straight now. I know there are faults (lack of hip turn, hands don't come through the ball great) but that contact sounds awesome if you care to turn the sound on.

you've got a major overswing.
you shouldn't bring the club past parallel.

you've also got a flip. A flip is when the clubhead passes ahead of the hands at impact, it's bad for consistency.

Apart from that you've got a nice swing.

I know what you mean with the overswing. There's probably too much wrist break back there too and I know my arms come away from my chest at the top, so if I can figure out how to cut that down I can probably solve some other issues too.

The flip at the end is actual pretty uncommon for me and my iron flight is normally very consistent if nothing else. Very few fat/thin shots in general.

Thanks for the feedback!

You need about sixty percent of that backswing.

Bring the hands back a little deeper and inside instread of so far back and up. This will also help straighten up your left arm at the top. You can tell you're going out to in on your swing path instead of in to out, caused by your break at the top and steep backswing.

It sure sounds sweet though, you're obviously making great contact, but I think a shorter deeper backswing around your body will help your flight path consistency.
