Hello, I'd appreciate if some of you (experts?) could take a look at these swings and provide feedback. Thanks for looking:)

Hi, first thing I notice is your head moves way off the ball during your backswing. Try to stay more centered over the ball and make more of a turn with less sway. Then let the hips slide forward to initiate the downswing. This should be a good starting point.


Two things I noticed right away.

1.  You move your head back off the ball during your backswing.

2.  It looks like you finish with the majority of your weight on your back foot.  Need to improve your weight transfer to the front foot during the thru swing.

I do like the tempo however...you take a nice pause at the top before starting the thru swing.

I'm no expert, but:

1)  The first move of your downswing is a dramatic drop of your head.  A drill you might consider is to have a partner hold the butt of a club still under your chin through your backswing and a VERY SLOW downswing (do not use a ball for this drill).  Keep your chin on the butt of the club.  The idea is to get a feel for what it feels like to hold your head still, and the club provides a reference point for this.  Repeat this several times and then hit a few balls and try to replicate the feeling of holding your head still.

2)  Your knees appear completely locked at address.  Knee flex is vital to rotation and weight shift through the ball.  As a result the first move of your downswing is to bend your back knee (also a major factor to dropping your head).  Flex your knees from address and hold that flex through the backswing.  You will need to be careful not to bend your knee more as you start your downswing as you are doing now.  The above drill should help with that, because if you bend your knee into your downswing your head will drop.   Reference any tour pro for an appropriate amount of knee flex and good knee action trough the swing.

3)  You are doing a good job of loading your weight on your back foot in the backswing, and now you need to work on shifting that weight to your front foot through your downswing and into your follow through.  You should finish the swing with ~90% of your weight on your front foot.  Again, watch a tour pro's swing in slow motion for a good model to copy.

4)  You would probably benefit from slowing your swing down (especially the PW).  Once you fundamentals are a bit more solid you would want to reincorporate speed into your swing.  To be honest your swing is at its fastest well past the ball (something you'll work on in time), so you may not notice much distance loss from slowing it down.  In fact, with better mechanics and cleaner contact you may find you hit the ball farther with a slower swing.


your ball position is too far forward  w the pw and the iron

grip position is too strong

set up for pw is too square

agreed that the reverse weight shift is not working, think about how you throw a baseball after the ball is thrown, your weight is on your front foot.

I love the driving range looks like it is eastern bloc

the back view is worthless

    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

    • Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
