This video isn't in the best quality and it's taken from a cell phone at a driving range so it's probably not a great video, but I wanted to post it anyway. I just started golfing last year and I love the game. I'm struggling a bit with my driver and my long irons right now and wanted to see if anybody had any tips for me. I'm also going to play a course tomorrow so I'll take a video with a better camera so I can upload more..

Can somebody also give me video advice? AKA what camera angles to use, etc. Thanks.

How to video your swing

The bit on angles etc is towards the bottom.

it looks like you are taking it back way to the inside which can induce an over the top move back to the ball. I'd suggest hitting some balls with some clubs layed on the ground, parallel to your target.

Hey man, thanks for the advice...could this happen because I was using too much arms and not enough shoulder rotation? I started using my shoulders a lot more today and saw some progress, still not perfect though. What would an over the top swing cause btw?

Hey man thanks for the quick reply! Any idea on some drills or how I can fix these problems? I noticed how bad my shoulder/hip turn was so I've been working on that.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
