This is my first post to My Swing. I have had lessons a few times, and had good results, but my BIGGEST hurdle right now is how quickly I roll my wrists over on the back swing. I also have a lack of wrist set at the top of the swing. I have some positives, such as the flat left wrist. Any help you guys can give on drills or ways to correct the flaws I mentioned (and any others you may see), will be most appreciated.

Tifo, take the youtube embed link, which looks something like this:

Remove everything before http and after LIVs-to , and put that in the "Insert Video" pop up box, and it should work.  In other words, you're pasting something like this in there " http://www.youtube.com/embed/cNI-LIVs-to " (notice the "embed" in the middle of the link).

Meanwhile, post the youtube link to your swing in the meantime.

Actually it's probably easier to just take the YouTube URL, which will look like "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abcd1234".

I inserted it for you.

Thanks. It looks like I was fixing it at the same time you were.

Interesting.  For some reason when I tried to do that with my Charles Barkley video it didn't work.  It seems like when you use the short link via the "share" button it doesn't work.  Anyway, I won't clutter this thread any further.

Well, I didn't get any replies to this one, but i do have a new video. It is me swinging a 7 iron. It looks like the rolling of the wrists is much better, but I have a bit of a move that's causing me to pull/straight hook and hit off the toe. The box I drew around my head shows how far my head moves on the down swing. Any advice on how to fix those two faults?

    • 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.
