Why do you have McIroy's swing next to yours?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Looks good for only playing a short time.  Here's what I see.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Like in the swings above, KJ has turned his hips more

Quasi 2.jpg

Quasi 3.jpg

Also in the swings of KJ, right elbow is further forward

On this last one, notice how what the elbows are doing effects the steepness of the shaft.

Thanks mvmac, really appreciate.

Can you elaborate point no 2 please "the right elbow needs to move down and forward"

I'm going to head to the range and try to make the adjustments. Should i take it step at a time? If so what should the order be? secondly, are there any drills u know of for these?

How would i know I'm doing these right? Make another video I guess?

Down and forward means looking more like JB in the 3rd picture.  The elbow is forward, closer to his belly button, rather than behind the right hip.  The video below illustrates a good drill, feel or visual below.  Swinging with a ball between your arms because you can't let them separate.  And go back and see that video uttexas posted

Good luck with the practice.  If you like the information, I'd suggest you become a Supporter which gets you access to the private instruction forum.  Also since you don't have an instructor near you, online lessons would be a good alternative Evolvr

Assalam alaikum brother and welcome

I will try to share some thoughts from what i can see of your swing.

Firstly, I think that you are swinging wayyyyyyy too hard. And you are swinging very hard with your arms. The reason you do this, is because your backswing is much bigger/longer than your body allows, and you are therefore losing all the tension in your torso, and also the power, which makes you have to swing harder with the arms.

I would say take the club back no further than what keeping an absolute straight left arm will allow you to, feel the tension built up, and then release

I would also like to share with you the one big and most important difference between beginners like yourself and better players.

Me and many others have realised this at some point after we started playing golf, and often it is the WOW moment that instantly changes your game. Here it is:

The golf swing is not natural at all, and never feels natural. The golf swing is a connected swing, where the arms are tight to the body and you are swinging from the hip. This is what STAYING CONNECTED is all about. Take a 3/4 backswing at most and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS, from the take-away to completion, feel that the right elbow is tucked in closely to your side. This will allow you to bring the club in on plane.

Here is Ben Hogan demonstrating it - this is what will take you to a single handicap in a year of practice

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v;=_AmPuzgBXEM

So remember, NEVER take the club back so far as what you see on TV, you can only do that with extreme flexibility and physical conditioning. Just take it back to where you feel tension and the left arm is still arrow straight.

Start the downswing with a little sideways movement of the hips towards the target.

KEEP RIGHT ELBOW TIGHTLY TUCKED IN TO SIDE AT ALL TIMES

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
