driver looks a little big.

How tall are you? you might want to look at getting it shortened a bit.

You keep great lag on the downswing and have a near perfect release.
How far did you hit that one? 250+ is what it looks like.

I am 5'7 and I had the driver shortened to 45 inches but I agree, it might be a little big still. Thanks for the insight and I did hit that one 250.

You're doing just fine. Keep that rhythm going and distance will come naturally as you get older. You have very good fundamentals

Whoever is in the background saying "That was an angry swing" is an idiot. It was asmooth, controlled pass at the ball. Nice. (Hope it's not a relative. ;))

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Looks good to me - keep at it and don't be frustrated if things dont go as smoothly as you grow.

That swing makes me want to work on my one again.

I only drive it 230, I'm 14 but 6 foot so I know there's a lot more distance to squeeze out.
You might want to look into getting a different shaft on your driver, maybe get a stiff one?

The only thing I can say is, watch that overswing. On a good day you'll be fine. It's easy to mess up with that long a backswing though.

It could be a result of his slight hip sway on the backswing.

Thanks guys. But in regards to Shorty that was my brother. I usually swing very slow and coming off a disappointing bogey on the last hole, I was a bit hot so that is why he said that. haha

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
