My Swing (wizzwizz)

[wizzwizz]

Hello! I have been reading this forum a lot and feel that I have learned much about the golf swing, yet have much more to learn.

I started playing about 3 or 4 years ago and have had no lessons. I feel I have a decent understanding of the golf swing, and can see many faults in my swing, but I'd definitely trust the collective expertise of this board over my own.

I have been having most of my trouble with the driver (bad hooks), but today at the range I slowed down the tempo of my backswing and it seemed to help me make much better contact.


Anyways, here is my swing for your analysis:




I included a video of my 3 wood because it's actually one of my better clubs, which one might think is odd because my driver is my worst, and the swings should be fairly similar.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Not sure but it looks to my like your downswing sequencing is alittle off, you seem to be going at it with the upper half, the takeaway is a little handsy too I think

I'm not qualified to critique anybody's swing but it appears as though your take away is being started with your hands/arms instead of a rotation of the shoulders/hips.

you have a very nice swing for only playing 2 - 3 years. I just noticed that your head moves back and as long as you move back into the original position you are ok, but if its does not your consistency will suffer, so be aware of this and most people do sway and move away from the ball to some degree.

That's something I'm trying to work on. Keeping the V between the hands pointed at my chest for the beginning of the swing. My arms get noticeably ahead of where they should be because I don't make the correct shoulder turn.

You're swing tempo looks good. One thing you should work on (most evident in the 7 iron vid) is your takeaway is way too inside. This causes the club to come around and be way too on top of your shoulders at the top of the backswing (the club face disappears behind your head). Try taking the club straight back along the target line to start your takeaway, that should help a little.
