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

Quasi 1.jpg

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

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

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

      Water in Bunker

      By DaveP043 ·

      Its simple, YOU are responsible for reporting YOUR score correctly, at every level of golf.  Do you imagine a top pro would really trust anyone else with his score? Without getting too far from the original post, the Rules have been revised every 4 years for decades.  They're continually evaluated, and most changes are in response to changes within the game.  BTW, if wind blows your ball off the green before you've lifted and replaced it, you play from wherever it ends up.  The TV call ins weren't a rule of golf issue, they were a PGA Tour issue, all in an effort to get the call right.

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      Someone asked what I propose. I think if the bunker is full of rainwater, you get to drop it with no penalty directly in back of the bunker, so you still have a tricky shot of chipping over the bunker. People are talking about local committees and such which we just don’t have at our level. My league and playing partners gave the free drop with no issue. My original purpose of this post was just to understand what the “real” rule is, and I now know. But now I also want to encourage people to see that many long time golf rules are outdated and illogical, and hopefully encourage people to push for change. They made some changes in the last few years, so I’m hopeful the game I love will improve if enough people speak out. A lot to hope for posting in a little forum I know, but you have to start somewhere.

      Water in Bunker

      By DaveP043 ·

      You get a penalty stroke because your local committee didn't do their job, they didn't address the specific conditions using the tools available to them within the Rules.  The rulemakers contemplated just this situation, bunkers being so filled with Temporary Water that they're unplayable.  The only way to address it "fairly" is to allow free relief outside the bunker, and they do NOT want to allow that on an everyday basis.  So they write the rules as it is, and allow the Committee to override the normal rule in the rare instance where the bunker really is full.  That's what your "local league" does, they invoke Model Local Rule F-16, which treats flooded bunkers as both GUR and as General Area.  Relief from GUR in the General Area allows relief in the General Area (i.e. outside the re-defined bunker).  Its quite a logical way to approach a relatively rare situation. Separately, consider your concern about temporary Water in the fairway.  I've seen situations in relatively level fairways where the Nearest Point of Complete Relief  from Temporary Water is 30 or 40 yards away, further from the green, even in the rough.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By billchao ·

      There you go, @yungbuck6. Your hips aren’t really shifted forward and your head tips back. The camera angle isn’t good so what looks like hip slide could actually just be extension towards the ball.

      By klineka ·

      But there's more to weight shift than just where you finish. How your weight transfers throughout the swing matters too.  But you're saying you can see it better than a device that can measure it? Got it.  Yeah I'm good here, good luck to whoever tries to coach you.
