I just got a Casio EX-FC150 camera and immediately recorded my swing.

I am about a year into my attempt at SnT with mixed results. I didn't get instructions but try to learn it from the book. From my observations, I can't believe how much I turn on the back swing. I would like to have a more compact backswing. I also tend to peek at the club during the backswing. My major problem is that I flip the club at impact.

Can you take a look and let me know what I can do to improve my swing? Is it close to SnT at all? My handicap index is around 13. I hit my PW around 105 yards, most of my friends with similar handicap index hit theirs about 120 yards. I am not necessarily looking for more distance but I think the short distance might be indicative of the flipping and poor contact.

Not a very good camera angle my man, but even if it was I couldn't tell you much other you need to start addressing the flipping situation before anything else! I know because I flip as well.

Hi khale. You need  to watch that left knee - it should go out away from you and not in towards your right knee. Also, your right leg needs to retain some flex at the top of the backswing. My pro was covering the same point with me last Saturday so I'm in the same boat :-)

Hope that helps.

Read this article please and try to get some footage from the standard viewpoints. Then upload it to YouTube, by preference, so it can be imported easily for analysis. Thanks.

The article's good, but to be fair, source .wmv files are fine too. Though the original .avi files are better. Or does the FC-150 do .wmv???

I didn't post the original avi files because I don't know how to extract a small clip out long clip with avi file so I used Windows Movie Maker. I will try to take the video with the correct angles and post them on youtube.

Fair enough. I suspect the trimming feature is similar on that camera as it is on the FH25:

      Day 364: About an hour and a half practice session. Spent most of it at the range. Did a solid 30 minutes of work on my priority piece, with filming. I think it's improving, but will probably check in on Evolvr to make sure. Then spent the last ~20 minutes putting, working mostly on short putts.

      Day 79 (19 July 25) - Band rehearsal this morning - got home midafternoon, opted to work more with the magnetic alignment tool with the wedges.  Used it to work on face position at the bottom of the swing arc - followed up with easy pitches up to 50yds.  Seeing better face control and over improved accuracy toward target…session was cut short with pop up rain showers.

      This is a great discussion. Other parts of the course where there are houses have white stakes and signs. This keeps people from trespassing and hitting shots on their property. There is another county road on the east side of the course that does not have white stakes like the hole I described. I checked the score card and there is nothing to indicate these roadways are OB. I think a county drainage ditch would be considered government right-of-way so it is the peoples land 🤣. But you are in the power industry and know more about those sorts of things than me.

      Day 3: Worked on backswing. Feel: Matt Wolff, Real: Not yanking it inside and getting it laid off and flat at the top.
