I've been Playing Golf for:

6 years

My current handicap index or average score is:

Around 90 - 100

My typical ball flight is:

It really depends. I can hit my driver dead straight, and I can also hit a wicked slice, and a wicked hook. This is the first time I've bothered to video myself, and I see some flaws already, but I'd like some advice perhaps. I also like to think my swing isn't too terrible. :)

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

The hook and/or slice


Videos:

Here's me hitting my driver at 1/2 speed. Sorry no other view, I'll try and get that next time. First shot I hit great, dead straight. Second shot I topped because I lifted my head up.

Some iron shots. I think these were a 6. I slowed the last few down to 1/2 speed for better analysis. To me, it seems that I have a real problem with my club trajectory, and my legs seem fairly "dead" if you will. I have a fairly strong upper body which I thinks tends to overcompensate for my lack of overall lower body strength.


Love to hear some thoughts! I've never really been critiqued by anyone...probably why I've never really improved!

Thanks,

Dave

    • Day 323 - Opposite of yesterday, focusing more on taking a full backswing than anything else.
    • Day 139: worked on putting for a while. Did the two cups drill for bead. 
    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
