My Swing (erniesilk)

[erniesilk]

Hey guys, here's my swing as of now...What do you think? comments questions concerns? I'm pretty concerned. I guarantee it's one of the longest swings you'll ever see haha.



I hit it about 265 yards, with a slight fade...unless I don't.

Wow, thats one unique swing. Your so thin and flexible you can do all these crazy positions like a wet noodle.

hahaha yes that's one way to put it. But unique is just another word for "wierd" isn't it :).

[motteler621]

well first thing you should do, since your so tall, do your clubs fit you, like the length and lie angle?

[evinkc05]

your backswing looks quite flat, and so your first move at the top of your backswing is up which is why you are coming into the ball vertically and fading, explaining the flat-->vertical swing. Ideally, you would want your backswing to be a little more upright, and your downswing a little lower and flatter to be more on plane.

Very long backswing, flat arm angle, lots of lateral head movement, club comes back way under the plane, your first move down is a bit over the top. Your impact position is pretty good though. Where in MA are you from?

young man, you need to wear a belt when you wear your shirt tucked into your khakis. Keep up the good work!

Swing is way too flat. Work on keeping your hands more in front of your body while making a good shoulder turn.

[saevel25]

I think the hands are to far away from the body, they could get deeper. I believe this is causing you to be flat. at 0:17, i think you have officialy did a 180 on Furyk's swing, your golf shaft is parallel to the ground vertically ;b

I might say you are on your heels to much, maybe get the knees a bit straighter and get over top of the ball more, and drive that right shoulder under your chin more. Your left shoudler drives your head back off the ball causing your lateral motion in your backswing.

haha caught me, 99% of the time I do. I have one in the first two videos!

yeah really long swing, and my head moves a ton. The first range is at Turner Hill in Ipswich, the second is at Ferncroft.

If you could get that right elbow tucked in at ALL, with all that flexibility...you'd be scary. If you're hitting a consistent 265 with your body going in 28 different directions....man....dude....whoa.

[erniesilk]

hahahaha yeah. We're right in the middle of high school golf season, so I can't make any real big changes. Buit i appreciate the tip, I'll try it next spring

[alo1984]

Dude, it's not a bad swing. Too flat as others have said. You also move away from the ball laterally way too much. Stay more centered over the ball and that will make a huge difference. As far as the length of your swing goes, I think if you take a look at my swing thread you will agree that I rival you

[Shanks A Million]

The takeaway is well on the inside, and this causes the club to come back down way too flat. Adding to that, the swing is well, well too long. This swing looks a lot like my old swing, and I never played that well with it, despite it working sometimes. It was hard as hell to get the club to come back shorter and steeper, but it makes a huge difference.

When you're a little older it'll shorten up. Once you get some muscle mass, the bones in your skull finish fusing together, and you're eating solid food (i.e. for your age and your height - recent growth spurt? - you're doing okay).

[RubxQub]

I kind of don't want to see you change anything and make it onto the tour with that swing.

Looks awesome, even if it isn't traditional...

...but this isn't good advice to follow.

that's my plan hahaha. I'd be the anti-Furyk. WAY inside, first, rather than vice versa.

[delav]

If you learn to tighten things up at your age, you'll be much more consistent and powerful as the muscle builds and you hone your swing.
