This is my first post on this forum. so, I hope I do this right. This is just a quick clip of my golf swing. This is the first time I am actually seeing my golf swing. I don't know what to think. doesn't look to bad, so, I just wanted to see what you guys thought.

It looks pretty handsy with a lot swaying. I'd try to turn against a more ridged right side and really "throw" your hands/arms down the target line.

You've got a really nice tempo going there.  I wouldn't change too much.  Like Gill said, make sure you brace against your back foot, never let the weight get outside your back foot.  Other than that, looks good.

thanks guys.

I understand I do sway a bit. by bracing against the back foot, that will help keep my weight from swaying to much? I think I understand what you guys mean. trying to keep my weight more centered and not sway it back behind my back foot.

the handsy part I don't really understand. I feel that my wrist hold the 90* angle with my arms all the way to impact where I release my hands to come through the ball. by handsy, do you guys mean I am bringing my right wrist around to quick?

thanks again for the input. hoping I can eventually get a good solid swing down.

you keep your wrist hinge on the downswing very well.

what i think everybody is talking about is you backswing is very handsy. looks to me that you start your backswing with your hands. it should be a one peice takeaway starting with your arms and then hinging your wrists. seems to me your doing both of these things both at the same time.

I don't see the "handsy" problem, and I don't think it is one, as long as you stay on plane, which it looks like you do.  Hogan started his backswing with his hands, or so he said, and Ben Curtis clearly does.

The bracing off the back leg is just as you say.  Don't ever get your weight to the outside of your back leg.  Just feel like you are in the batters box in baseball but, instead of stepping into the pitch, you drive off the back foot in your downswing.

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
