My Swing (joc04)

[joc04]

First off, this was recorded w/ my phone, so I apologize for the quality. I'm looking for some tips to improve my swing, aside from being aimed off to the right.

Looking at the video I'd say I'm too far from the ball and my back-swing is coming in too low.  When I miss it is almost always to the right.  Thanks in advance.

Had trouble embedding the video.

Next time I'll know to:

1. Click the video button in the toolbar.
2. Paste in the URL to the video on YouTube or Vimeo.

You've got a solid swing.. I would recommend a slightly wider stance.  This would stabilize you for a more aggressive drive into the ball and clearing of the hips which will  help you square the club face up a little better and prevent those misses to the right.  The only other thing that jumped out at me was at the top of your backswing you're "across the line".  Which is also going to contribute to misses to the right.  When you pause it at the top when the club is perfectly parallel (which is great) notice that your club head is basically pointing at the tree well right of the green. Thats being "across the line"..   Ideally you want it pointing at your target.  Hope that helps a little..

Thanks for the advice. Is my club head aimed where I'm aiming or do you think it's still too far right? (it looks like my feet are pretty much aimed at the tree also)  I now it's hard to see because I asked my girlfriend to film standing with the ball between her and the flag.

Update - It's scary how ugly my swing was. I've been working pretty hard on it this summer and have had some success. But I'm always looking for advice on how to improve. Thanks
