N o video yet. I wanted to post a simple picture of me at the top of a drive to see if anyone could comment on position. I will be going to the range this week to take a few videos. Overall my swing has become much better but not sure if you can get anything from this image

Hello friend. If your shooting from 95-105 your handicap is probably anywhere from 25 to a 35. If your home course is affiliated with GHIN (Golf Handicap Index Network), or if the state you live in has a golf association, then you can get in touch with them to start posting scores to get an official handicap. You will probably have to pay a fee but it won't be too much. Basically, your "handicap" is about what you would shoot off par. I shoot anywhere from 87-93 and my handicap is a 20.4 (through GHIN). This is also an official USGA handicap.

Up until about 5 months ago, I might have played 15 times in 20 years. Back in February something just kinda ignited in me and I played probably 20-25 times. I try to get out at least once a week and play 18 and practice at least 3-5 days for a minimum 1 hour. I've dropped 6 points off my handicap in these past few months. Yes, I'm a golf "freak".

Look forward to seeing your video....

I dont like giving swing advice because I am not a pro, but I think people will tell you that your spine angle changes a lot during the swing which causes you to have to rely on timing.  I think you could even begin by improving your takeaway by staying lower and keeping the club outside of your hands, while trying to stay more centered over the ball.  I hope that is helpful.

Thanks. That is helpful. Take a look at the head on and let me know if you still think this is the case

I think your head is pretty good, until the very end of your backswing and than you lift up a little.  That means you have to dip on the way down.  The other thing is having your hands ahead of the club at impact.  This is only what worked for me, I took what I felt like were 3/4 swings and practiced pivoting around my left leg, and really trying to take a good divot in front of the ball.  Feeling that impact postion really helped me stop overswinging and staying centered over the ball.  I hope that helps you some.

Your need to make your swing going back and up instead back and around your body. That's the cause of over rotation of back and shoulders.

What camera/software did you use to make the video slow? It's very neat.
