Does the ball look like it's tee'd up on my 7 iron swing? It's not on a tee.

Ball typically goes left.

I am not sure to your height and whether you are using fitted clubs, but you seem a bit far away to the ball compared to many of other swings I have seen. But the club seems on plane, it could just be the angle.

Ya, I'm not very tall. Last year, my instructor told me for when I swing my driver, my hands should be below my eyes. I think they're a little too far pushed out.

Well how ae you hitting the ball I guess would be the main way to judge your swing, any erratic ball flights or problems?

Slice off the tee - hence the my user name! I also noticed that off the tee, sometimes the ball goes 300 yards.... 150 yards up in the air, 150 yards faded to the left!

it kinda looks like your back isnt straight (looks like you sticking your rear end out), a head on video will show more if there are issues with your swings

I was messing around with the swingacademy website and it looks like I have a very flat backswing and a steeper downswing. Any drills to change this?

Haha, I like your attitude. I think you should slow down your backswing just a very very very very tiny bit, and let your arms detach from their sockets in the follow through. By that I mean letting your body unwind, and not holding back on your follow through- it looks like you stop the club before it hits your neck.

Yeah it does look like its tee'd up for the 7 iron, but I feel that you are pretty far away from the ball at address. Do you feel far away from it like you're "reaching" for the ball at contact?

I would agree with this. Bring the hands in and relax the arms. Looks a little tense.

Does it look like I'm too far away from the ball with my 7 iron? I agree that it looks like I'm too far away with my driver, but it doesn't feel like I'm reaching for the ball.

Question: Do you guys recommend tucking in your back elbow on the backswing? I think that maybe why my driver swing is flat on the backswing and steeper on my downswing (causing an OTT move). Do you agree with this guy on elbow position: http://www.thegolfchannel.com/golf-l...takes-avoid/2/

Can you get an angle head on?

7 looks ok, I probably stand a little bit closer but no so much I feel jammed.. I keep my right elbow relatively tucked in to help keep the swing plane on track we need a front or head on view to really see how things are going though.

I'm golfing tomorrow with my wife, so I'll get her to do a head on view of my swing.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
