Hey guys can you check my swing out for me?  Its only my driver, kind of a spur of the moment thing to take vids after my first full round of the season.  Shot an 87 with 34 putts, Sucks because I should have only had about 28 or 29 putts but o well.  I will post up some 6 iron swings sometime this week.

Overall I like your setup, but your feet may be just a bit right of your target line.

You're lifting the club with your wrists on the takeaway which is bring the club to the inside and shortening your swing arc.  Also lifting your head considerably during the backswing and its forcing you to reach for the ball at impact.

Your downswing look pretty arm dominant.  At impact your belt buckle is pointing almost straight at the ball.  You're hips make a full rotation later, but they are following your upper body, and ideally it would be the other way around.  I'd like to see your hips more involved earlier and take the lead into the ball.

Thanks for the response.  The golf pro that fit me told me the same about my hips.  Its something that I try to work on but I have had 3 left knee surgeries.  Two acls and one meniscus tear, so its hard for my to get my weight shifted.  I am getting back into shape and working out my knee though so hopefully it will get better with time.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.
