My Swing (bigmac2917)

[bigmac2917]

Right now im struggling with consistent ball striking (chunk, shank, thin) so can anybody take a view at my swing and see if you can notice any problems?

watched your dtl.  good right arm connection with torso.

If your misses are thins and chunks, you aren't getting your swing bottom forward enough.

Move the swing bottom forward with the following:

Move hips further forward prior to impact.

Maintain the right wrist hinge longer.

Extend more with the legs and spine into impact.

On the video, your right leg and torso are sagging into impact.  Try extending more with your spine and legs into impact.  Also, a face on view would help diagnose problems with thins/chunks.

Alright thanks do u know of any drills that could help me with that?

Here's some good videos

One thing I notice is that your club axis to spine axis at address is much different than the club-to-spine orientation at impact (pause video right at impact to see this). At impact your club is about 100 deg to the spine (which is more ideal) versus about 130 at address. Because you are changing this angle so drasticlly, you are having to make additional body corrections. If you look at most pros, their club-to-spine angle is about 90-100 deg at address. You may want to stand in from the of mirror until you get the feel for what 90-100 deg feels like, and then try and take this to the range...

I am no pro....I like your set up..good spine angle.  Cant help but think " is that club too short?'  Face looks open to me.....place your thumbnail on the top of your head at set up.....notice how much you dip down at the bottom.  I feel your head cant be held still ...it has to move some..but yours  seems alittle extreme.  If you move that much up and down ...would seem that some will chunk...some will top.  Swing....dont go after it..smooth speed...you cant muscle it.  You are tall enough, athletic enough and strong enough that you should be able to generate more speed with less effort.  The ending is classic high school kid behavior !  (you are not as good as you think you are...and if you ARE that good...you dont behave like that..the shot you got was the shot you made, you got what you deserved...get over it)

You're rolling the wrists on the takeaway (club gets inside the hands). This causes you to be laid off at the top, and in turn causes you to come over the top on the downswing.

I think a set-up change would help.  Looks to me like the knees are too flexed and your balancing on the heels of your feet.  Lose some flex in your knees and it's going to feel like your bent over more with your torso.  Will also be less of a strain to view the ball.  Check out how Tiger's knee flex is less than yours and how that effects his balance.
