I've been Playing Golf for: 6 years

My current handicap index or average score is:20

My typical ball flight is: high slice /fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: driver slice


Videos:

Let me know what yall think, i know it needs some work


A couple of things immediately stand out.  I'll leave it to the experts to give more detailed responses.

1) (Down the Line view) - Your arms should hang more naturally down from your shoulders, not extended out so they line up with your shaft line.

2) (Face-on view) - On your backswing, your weight moves significantly to the outside of your right foot.  That's a real no-no.  You should brace yourself against the INSIDE of your right foot for your downswing.

Now, about those mid-calf black socks....


hahaha ya just socks for good luck, guess they aint workin! Thanks ill work on those suggestions


Does your left heel normally come off the ground and rotate/move like it does in the 2nd video (FO)?

Keep em coming guys.....that cant be all thats wrong with my swing, like it says I also have a huge slice off the tee


I would try rolling your wrists a little more through impact and keeping your left leg straighter through impact as well. (Not like a wooden post, but just a little more firm and not bent) And like the guy said above, your arms should hang more freely over the ball. Another thing, your swing is pretty upright and steep, maybe flattening it out a little bit. Get a few lessons, though and I feel like you could hit the ball pretty far. Just some stuff to work on, but don't give up because it looks like you have potential.

Oh and nice socks. Don't let people talk 'em down.

Thanks jcollins.......that is one thing I have been told, my swing is very steep and to bring it down and flatten it, been trying to work on that. never thought about the left leg, will give it a shot too. Thanks for the sock comment too lol.


Haha yeah I rock mid calf Nike black socks, too.

But yeah, if you pause the video at 0:28 in the first video of down the line, you can your club cutting across the top. That may be another thing to work on too. Hope all goes well.

Few set-up things.  Hips need to turn not shift back, like what Harmonious was talking about.

Also, you're straining how you look at the ball.  Need to tilt your head down so the ball is on your central vision.  This will also help the shoulders turn a little steeper

    • Day 323 - Opposite of yesterday, focusing more on taking a full backswing than anything else.
    • Day 139: worked on putting for a while. Did the two cups drill for bead. 
    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
