My Swing (Wass)

[Wass]

Hey guys. Here's my swing. Please criticize constructively. My misses usually go right to left (a slice for me since I'm southpaw.) so if you see a connection please share.

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.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll work on that next time at the range.

Wass.. I replied to you on FGI.

looked like you pulled it left and hit lumber.. its a familiar sound i hear when hitting pull hooks.

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.
