I've been Playing Golf for: 18 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 10.4 (83)

My typical ball flight is: Straight to slight-fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slight-fade; create a draw

[note: I used SwingPlane HD on my iPad to film. If anyone has any tips on creating better videos, please advise. Also, I couldn't figure out how to upload the slow motion view of the video ... if anyone knows how I will upload those so it's easier to see the swing. All comments, suggestions, etc are welcomed and thanked]

Thanks MVMAC!

I went to the range last night after a softball game (excuse the shorts) to get some more shots. Below are side and rear shots for Driver, 3 Wood and 6 I. All comments welcome and thanked.

A couple of things I noticed was that you were snatching the club head back to the inside way too fast.  You have to feel like your hands go in and your club head stays outside your hands.  Another feeling I use is that on the start of the back swing feel that your right hand stays on top of the left hand and that your left hand points to the ground to start the swing.

Also, if you want to hit more draws, have your shaft lean more towards the target at address, and try to replicate this at impact.  More shaft lean towards the target.

No, you have about 10 minutes after initially post to edit, long enough to be useful but not so long that someone can make a comment and "change history" by changing it later.

    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
    • Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.
    • What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.
