I've been Playing Golf for: 20 Years, (12 Years competitively)

My current handicap index or average score is: 3.5

My typical ball flight is: Baby fade

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

Basically, all my life I've gone back and forth between a draw and fade.  Currently i'm hitting a 5-10 yard fade, with every club except for 8-iron and below (9-Pw etc.), to which I basically hit dead straight, if not a 2-yard fade. When I watch the video below, I see an obvious "over-the-top" motion at the beginning of my down swing.  I'm currently working on keeping the club on the same plane that I take it back on, or even just drop it inside the plane slightly.  Anyone see any red flags?

(I also suggest watching the video(s) in the highest quality available and in full-screen.

huh... weird... well... last time I was fitted for my driver I had a 116MPH swing speed.. and I haven't let up since then.. so you think i'm taking the club back at 120MPH It might just be the video quality but how does the swing plane look to you?

    • I like Justin Rose and I wouldn’t mind seeing him win another major, I just didn’t want him to win this one 😃
    • I think Rose might have the most zeroed out putting stroke of anyone out there, although as golfing superpowers go that would be one of the most useless.
    • That pre-swing routine tho.. 🤓
    • He's been a top 100 golfer for almost his entire career, yeah. That's not easy to do, especially as you get into your 40s. And, all without any real "superpowers." He's not incredibly great at any one thing. He's very well rounded.
    • Always been a fan of Rose. He seems like a decent human being first of all. When there's some chatter at the tee he says "Quiet guys, please. Thank you" in a friendly tone. He's always given the impression of being a stand-up guy, supportive of his colleagues and competitors. A friendly face. His performance as a golfer is more about consistency through his entire career than the large number of wins. He's always around, but had the potential to win more. This Masters they made a point out of him having almost twice as many lead/co-lead rounds without a win than the next guy on the list. 11 wins on the PGA Tour, 11 on the European Tour and the single major, but a lot of top ten finishes. Erik's comparison to Adam Scott is on point, as the stats demonstrates in the images below. Starting their careers during the reign of Tiger didn't make things easier, but there are few players with more than 15 wins on the PGAT the last ~30 years. I only counted eight from this list. I'd love to see him win at Augusta. Rory is one of very few players I'd pick over Rose.
