My Swing (cwsample)

[cwsample]

Due to winter, I took a few months off. May not be a bad thing, as I get to refresh myself with proper technique...as opposed to what I was using. I've only been playing for about a year now, started before I got married, as our wedding package included a free round... I've had help from 2 friends of mine, neither of which can break 100, so I hope I haven't picked up their bad habits. Thoughts? Thanks. Seems as though I can't get my video to embed. So, please click http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt143/cwsample/1901c854.mp4

On the video, what really catches my eye is that you really restrict your backswing.  Your swing is all arms.  The left arm at the top of your swing is bent, and it should be pretty straight.  Let your hips do some of the work as you start your downswing.  This will build up torque and power.  As well, keep the wrist, shaft angle longer in your downswing, it seems to me you might be releasing them too early, which can lead to inconsistency.

You hit it dead on. If I had to say one thing about my swing is it's inconsistent. I can hit great shots, but most of the time it's all over the place...draw, slice, fat, thin...it's almost a crap shoot. I'll try to rotate more and keep my arm straight. Thanks!
