I've been Playing Golf for: Can't play anymore due to ill health this is my swing from a few years ago.

My current handicap index or average score is: No idea, this swing was 2 years after I stopped playing so not at my best. My lowest handicap was 9.

My typical ball flight is: Slight fade/straight.


The finish was due to me being conscious of the camera it's not usually that exaggerated! I know I don't play anymore but still love the game and would like to get some opinions on what my swing was like. I always had a tendency to pick up my arms to steeply on the backswing when I wasn't playing well.

To stop the arms from lifting, the right hip needs to be deeper in the backswing, meaning more rotation.  This combined with feeling the hips and shoulders staying closed longer on the downswing should help you see some improvement.

You can't play anymore due to illness, but you want swing advice?  This doesn't make a ton of sense.

"would like to get some opinions on what my swing was like" I never took any lessons or really had anyone take a look at my swing. I don't know if it was good/bad or where I was going wrong. It would just be nice to know.

    • 6 rules changes the PGA Tour is enacting in 2026 (and what triggered them) The PGA Tour shared several rules changes with its players on Tuesday. Here's what you need to know about why the rules have been modified.    
    • JPX ONE Driver - Mizuno Golf Official Website Discover the JPX ONE Driver - /jpxone/jpxone-driver-hero-mobile.webp /jpxone/jpxone-logo-white-lg.svg The World’s first NANOALLOY™ DRIVER... Mizuno is introducing new technology with their JPX One fairway woods and drivers. The new tech for golf but used tech for Mizuno since it is found in their baseball side of the business, is Nanoalloy. Nanoalloy is a microscopic polymer layer put on the face of their titanium driver. What this layer does is change the elasticity of the driver face and increases ball speed over a larger area of the clubface. Adding a bit more elasticity with this layer, they are conserving the golf balls energy from the impact.  Due to USGA rules, this technology falls under their coating regulations. Which add a correction factor to the ball speed testing done for conforming golf clubs. This rule was introduced when Taylormade went to their carbon clubface. Which I didn't know existed.  I am sure that center strikes are at the USGA limits like all other drivers. This has my interest. I am always, "window shopping", for new golf equipment 😉
