I figured I would go ahead and film & post my swing on here, so some of you guys could possibly give me a few tips, tricks, etc. Keep in mind that I've only been golfing for a few months as well. Thanks!

Wow, great swing for a beginner. You are more flexible than JAllen, but should focus on the same things. You'll be crushing the ball soon!

You've got some great instincts for the golf swing. Really like your arm/elbow positions. Wish I could keep my right elbow pointing at the belly button throughout the swing like you do.

First thing I notices is that you bring the club head inside very quickly and your shoulder plane is very flat. You want to turn your shoulders parallel to your swing plane, not the ground. Try turning your shoulders perpendicular to your spine on the backswing.

See tiger's new swing on this video (the swing on the right). He's been working on turning his shoulders more vertically (less flat) and keeping the club head outside longer instead of quickly bringing it inside.

Thank you! I will be sure to work on them.

Yes, Jallen100 on here is my dad. I got him to sign up!

Thank you for the advise.

I will try to watch some instructional videos as well.

Brendon is my son. Thanks for the older brother comment :). He is definitly more flexible than I am. I need to work on my flexibility.

It's probably because I'm younger though.

I'm certainly no expert, but I've been doing a lot of work with the stack and tilt. You might want to consider straightening your back knee on the back swing to allow for better/easier hip rotation.

Columbus, OH, awesome man, i thought something felt nestolgic ;)

You seem to be on your heels at address.

How tall are you? that driver looks way to long for your height, you thinking of growing into it? Because i would just go get it reshafted shorter, than get it reshafted again when you get taller. I think this will help out.

I also think you can get the club past your body a bit more through impact. I am not sure, but it looks like your getting stuck with the driver. This might be because of the club being to long. I just think it looks like the lie is way to low and it seems to be far away from you.

I will try that, thank you.

The first video is fine, but the second video is my dad's driver; that's why. I normally don't do the heel thing at the end.

do yourself a favor and get ben hogan's 5 lessons, practice every lesson 10-15 minutes a day for a week. After I passed lesson one I spent 10 minutes a day on the previous lesson(s), then did the current lesson for 10-15, then practiced all of the lessons (including the current week) for 15 minutes afterwards

So, I take it that it worked good?

Do yourself a favor, find a good pro to go, search around ask people. If he has video thats even more of a plus. Get some lessons under your belt. The best thing that can happen, period.

Also, ben hogans 5 lessons, not for every one. Its hard for even ben hogan to describe what should be done because he's describing what he feels not what you feel. The best is to actually see what your doing, video and get that feeling. You can take slow swings, try out the right swing path, stop at different key spots in the swing to get the feel your in the right place.

Thank you for the tips. I was looking into lessons, actually.

    • We do not buy extended warranties. We will use one of our credit cards for the purchase that extends the warranty "x 2". Our thoughts are: a. if the item is a lemon, it will likely break right away and we can attempt to apply the original warranty or credit card extension. b. over the long haul, we will probably save more money by not purchasing the extended warranty and fixing/junking broken items out of our own pocket. The important thing is to keep some records of purchases so one may make a claim under the manufacturer's warranty. I recently sent back some Footjoy shoes for leaking and Footjoy did a reat job of making the claim process work very well. I had the original receipt, warrant info and box. Easy peasy.
