My Swing (JJLinn)

[goodatgolf]

First of all I suggest u focus on one to two things max at a time. Of course everything's mutually dependent on one another in the golf swing.

But IMO one can learn much faster when focusing on one thing at a time.

I suggest starting with your setup and posture. Cause that's the easy part, right?

Take a look at a couple of pros you like. Try to mimic there setup. Againg try to focus most of your time on one.

Use a mirror or your camera to compare.

From the things I saw in your videos:

Square up your right foot. Also square up and align your hips shoulders and feet.

Maybe move up the ball in your stance a notch.

Flex your knees a bit more and take a good look at your arm-club-unit (angles and such).

When your setup looks professional every time. Meaning you look like the pro you try to mimic. Move on.

best of luck

I was going to post the exact thing. Spend the week working in the mirror on a one piece takeaway. That will help you so much. I used to rotate my wrist on the way up, but I was always open at the top causing me to slice. I spent a lot of time working on a one piece takeaway and have gotten consistently better. That should be your focus. I know there are tons of people chiming in so it has to be difficult knowing who to listen to but you should start with the basics. Perfect the basics before you go any further.

Thanks for the tips...I'll work on my takeaway the next range session I take.  Here's another video of me hitting my SW yesterday before I read these replies:

Here's an updated swing...I've moved my hands a little further away from my body during my backswing, which has decreased my shanks significantly but has not improved my ball striking a great deal:
