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?

two quick ones..flipping and your weight never gets to your front side.

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

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.

    • Day 1: 2026.01.03 Played 18 at Cape Kidnappers. Getting back into it after a few days off. Mixed results.
    • Day 40: short range session. Worked on my drill mostly. Finished with some full swings and driver swings. Range was packed because it was so nice out. Solid session though. 
    • Day 5, 1/3/26.  Today was a weird day schedule-wise, but I did find 15 minutes to hit 6-iron shots (indoors, off a mat, into a net).  I also got to thinking about yesterday's round and, other than a few thin shots (that I think were weather/grip related), I didn't have any wild non-driver shots, which was weird for me.  I need to get back to video, which is tough in my setup. Also, this wouldn't count on its own, but anyone reading this and thinking about doing their own 5 minutes daily, check out Fit for Golf's latest podcast episode.  It's only a few minutes and Mike does a great job talking about the importance of doing a bit each day.  That also reminded me, I let my FFG subscription lapse, I'm going to renew it.
    • Day 32 (3 Jan 26) - Misty, rainy day - opted to rehearse swing in the mirror - focused on face position at P6 thru P9.
