My Swing (boomersooner13)

[boomersooner13]

I'm pretty much rebuilding my swing.  I play a low handicap (although it may not look like it), but I want my swing to be more "buttery" like Fred Couples.  There are a few things that he does that I'll simply never be able to do, because I'm 6'4''.

Fred:

But anyways, sorry about the color of the videos.  It started to rain so my phone tried to auto correct the brightness and i tried to fix it in editing.  Also, the phone camera is on the ground because I had nothing to stand it up on.  It kind of hurts the critique-ability I suppose, but you can still see the major points.

Here is my 7 iron.  My rebuilding purpose is basically to just be more smooth like Freddy.  I have to work on my rotation for sure, and my swing plane will have to change dramatically.

My driver motion and twist is really over exaggerated from this angle.  I didn't have a stand, so the camera sat on the ground.  It's not quite as bad as it looks, but I do really "crank" the club back.  It's what I've done since I was a kid and I've learned to play around it.  Not looking so much to rebuild this aspect like Fred Couples.  Just looking for tips.

One thing I do want to say, if for only the reason of making myself feel better: in the first video, Freddy hit a 7 iron on the 164 yard par 3.  At the range, the hitting area was 15 yards back of the markers and the flag I was playing was 165.  So I guess I've got the distance down?

I don't know, I feel like my swing is relatively "easy going", compared to what it used to be.  Looking forward to the critiques.  Be gentle though....
