We are about the same handicap so I probably shouldn't be giving you advice, but I noticed on the head-on swing (with driver) that you finished with your weight back. If you notice, you actually lift your toes up on your lead foot right the afollow through. You shouldn't be able to do that, almost all your weight should be on that lead foot.

It's something I struggle with as well, looks like we are in the same boat.

Same thing I noticed. On your swing your neither of your feet should move until after you have made contact with the ball. Work on swaying your weight to your left foot on your back swing and then moving it to the right foot on your down swing.

Wass.. I replied to you on FGI.

Equipment, Setup, Finish, Balance, and Relax. All equal in importance and all dependent on each other. They are the cornerstones of a good golf swing.

I was always told to start your take-away by using your hips/arms. Looks like you're using your wrists.

Not that I'm the best golfer or have the best swing, or that I'm doing it "right", but compare your take-away and my take-away.

Neh, that one started out pretty straight and then went left (slice for me).

weird, if you listen closely you hear the contact of your driver and then a second later a 'hollow knock' like the sound a ball makes when it hits a tree dead on.. Must of been something else then.

When I took lessons, my coach told us to learn to do it slow. If you can't do it right slowly, you can't do it right fast.

I was at the driving range, so I guess it was someone else swinging behind my friend who was holding the camera.

I'm 19. I've always usually had a slow swing all the way through. I figure that technology these days is insane, so I just let the club do the work

I'm willing to give up 15-20 yards if it means I will be more accurate. I'm usually shorter than all my friends off the tee, but I'm also probably the most accurate with approach shots out of all of them. If everything else is right and smooth with my swing, the club will do the rest. My handicap is a 15, which I plan on lowering this summer. Thanks for the compliments.

Neh, I'm not doing any tournies this year. Bucks County is just outside of Philadelphia.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
