Hi all,

I would like to hear some thoughts on my driver swing.  The first swing sliced about 10 yards off the fairway and the second ended up in the fairway, but still had a big left to right flight.  That is my typical ball flight.  I would like to get some consistency and minimize the left to right flight.  I don't mind hitting a fade, but would like to straighten it out a bit.

I have never taken a lesson, just pieced together my swing over the last two years with things I have read on here and other sites.

Thanks!

Anything?  I don't mean to nag or anything.  If I need to get better quality video I can do that.  I forgot to bring my video camera with me that day so it is shot from a cell phone.

This was my first time recording my swing so I am not sure if I did it the correctly.  I do know I need to get a caddie view to add to it.

The best views to view and analyze a golf swing are down the line (down the stance line from behind) and face on (caddy view). One aspect that I can see is some elbow separation in the backswing and forward swing. With a down the line view, I'd be able to see swing plane. With a face on view, I could see how well you get forward into impact.

Couldn't tell where the ball went, but you looked up way to quick.  The swing looked pretty good to me though.

Your slicing and left to right movement might be caused by a weak grip.  I used to slice the ball wwaaay to the right and then watched these three videos and now only have a slight fade.  Pay really close attention in the "Understanding why we slice the ball" video when they explain why a weak left hand grip will cause the face to open and the slice to occur.  These videojug videos are pretty good, IMO.  I am not too sure about the swing itself, it seems like you have decent rotation and what not, but check your grip and alignment.



These three videos improved my shots more than anything else i've tried.

Watch your video as it transition from :09 to :10.  Your slice is created by a swing path that is across the ball, combined with a face (at impact) that is open relative to this path.

Your setup and backswing look pretty good, and I think a few small drills (some mentioned above) will help you approach the ball from the inside and overcome the left-to-right spin.  If you can post your swing on YouTube, I'll grab it and provide a few visuals.

      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.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      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.
