My Swing (timbo1988)

[timbo1988]

Hi everyone,

I have posted a video of my golf swing below (sorry about poor quality). I was wondering if people could comment on it and offer advice where I can improve it.

I play off 28, am fairly good with short irons but struggle with Woods and longer irons. I pull or hook these a lot and my good shot is often a draw even with short irons.

If anyone has any swing tips or drills that will help me improve please post them below.

Many Thanks

The two most prominent things I saw in the video that you could work on is tempo and balance.  Your swing has little tempo to it in my opinion; there is that 1...2... drill that allows you to time your swing properly with 1 at the top of the swing and 2 as you hit the ball.  As you take practice swings just say it to yourself in each stage.  Now for balance, try putting your feet together and take practice swings, the key to this is to not fall over after the follow through.  This helps the head stay fairly steady which will align most of the body to stay well balanced throughout the swing.

Ok thanks for that advice.

In terms of pulling and hooking the ball does anybody have an idea of why I am doing that? Are my hands to active at impact?

You're rolling your wrists and the clubhead is way inside the hands. That's throwing everything else off and you're having to make all kinds of compensations. Keep the hands in, and feel like the clubhead is out. See the difference?

Hi All, I wondered if you review my swing video in slow mo and suggest some improvements and drills to work on! Usually hit a draw with a bad shot being a push or a duck hook! [VIDEO]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IAJsOdelz9w[/VIDEO] Many thanks Tim

Hi, I am returning from a knee injury and struggling to get the consistency in my swing! I usually hit a draw with a good shot or a bad shot a duck hook low and left or a push to the right which doesn't draw! I usually hit driver about 240-250! 7 iron 145-155! Has anyone get any suggestions of where to improve the swing? Many Thanks Tim

Tim, my recommendations are to post outside of this thread (one post in a Masters prediction contest hardly counts). Make some friends. People want to help out, but they like to get to know you and see you participating elsewhere too.

Thanks.

I'd like to see the lower body movement get more dynamic. Good video for you to check out. Turn both those feet out and let the left knee gain in flex as the right lessens in flex.

Also your grip may be a little plamy in the left hand.

Think it would be good for you to get the handle a little higher and the hands further away from you.
