My Swing (alexander19)

[alexander19]

I've been Playing Golf for: 8 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 8

My typical ball flight is: Use to be draw now is slight fade due to new swing thoughts

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

I use to hook the ball (I obviously have a strong grip). I got a tip from a friend of mine who is a scratch golfer. His advice was if I don't want to weaken the grip try to get the toe up and pretend like I am swinging hard left. My old swing my face was shut at the top and I was coming from the inside and I would hook the ball with the driver on my miss. I have been hitting my driver great with these new swing thoughts but wanted advice on my swing.

Thanks.

i'd recommend adding slowmo and recording with a better camera can't really tell, I'd work on your swing path. Go to a grass range and set 3 tees up in a row in line with your target, place the ball in front of the tees and practice taking it back over the tees. Hope this helps.

2 things I notice, 1 you should try hinging your wrists a little earlier, and also watch the lean at the top of the swing. What I recommend doing is trying to hit 3/4 shots with your back foot on its toe, it promotes balance, and good weight transfer. Hope this helps :)

Thanks for your input. Do you have an instruction video on what you would like me to do when it comes to the early wrist hinge?

Thanks.

And also by lean do you mean the start of my downswing??

I mean your head, it sways more then it should, my advice check out some slowmo's of touring pro's and watch when they start their hinge. I'd love to be able to make a video series, once I Have a better camera.

Okay sound's good....I have watched numerous videos in slow motion but it's a lot easier for me to have certain swing thoughts. I didn't know if you had any of those based on my swing.
