Hi guys, just looking for some feedback on my swing which I have been working on for the past few weeks.
I have been trying to stop dipping which has been causing me to hit draws and the occasional  hook and push.

Any input will be greatly appreciated!!!

Nice swing!

Wouldn't worry about dipping (assume you mean your head?) too much. Many, many good players do that. It's a power move -- compressing into the ground so you can spring up into impact. Look at this guy here for instance and he hits it OK!

Your swing looks great. I noticed that your ball position for the 6 iron is in the middle of your stance. A ball that far back in your stance will promote a draw. The first thing I'd try would be moving the ball up about 2-3 ball widths toward your left heel.

Thanks  ! :)
I see what you mean, it helps to generate power by moving into it.
I agree with you there he does seem to hit it ok :P

Also thanks!

Ill give that a try in my next practice session, It makes sense to me, if I have it too far back i'll end up with a slightly inside angle of attack adding drawspin =]



I appreciate the input guys!

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.
