My Swing (khale)

[khale]

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:
