I'd like to compliment you on keeping your head still.

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

I suggest tanning your cabasa... but seriously, tan that head......kidding....you really need a goatee instead....Okay I will be serious.... I agree with needing a increase on lateral slide and your turn looks like a forced after effect instead of a result of your swing. Head is stationary and nice smooth swing and unless you really have some issues, at a five handi I would just practice consistency, no sense in fixing something that isn't broke.

Thanks a lot guys. I agree with the tanning of the head. Unfor I have had some medical issues who he'd caused the hair to go bye bye. Hopefully it will retur. In a couple of months. I have been working on making a better turn back as I was always an arm swinger so it is a little forced at the moment. Know would a hip bump be pretty much the same thing or do you suggest my whole body move as well?

Sorry about the health issues, at least you can still play golf! :) What are you trying to achieve? More spin or distance? I would guess distance. I work on starting the return swing with a hip shift that makes me feel like it starts pulling the arms into the swing. I know that may be hard to picture but the power gets generated with that shift and the pose should be natural after that. I would look up drills maybe from the golf fix to do this rather than me telling you. I have been changing my swing each year for 3 years now. Every time I do a change it takes some time before I hit it well. My swing now I tried to implement 2 years ago and didn't have enough knowledge to use it. Now I do. Now I need to keep getting more fluid and hone it. Hopefully I am done changing it. I went from hitting a PW 100 yards full swing (horrible flipper) to 137 yard full swing. The really cool part about my current swing is that I no longer feel the ball off the club face and the sound it makes is like a "sizzling" when the ball takes off. I don't know if anyone else experiences this but I like it. It is easy to know when I striped it.

I guess I am wondering if it is worth a drop off that 5 cap if you start trying to do major swing revamp.

Thanks for the help I am going to look into that. In my head its always worth it. I play to get better and will spend try to spend this winter on some issues I have. Thankfully during my swing changes I have yet to play worse so its keeping me positive as well a seeing my swing turn into something better. I guess the best motivation for me is I play with guys who are better then I am. Thanks again guys

Looks good. I wouldn't start fiddling with things like lateral hip slide (unless your hitting it fat all the time) see a pro if you must, but your weight has moved all the way to the left side by the end so I don't see any problems. Where is your miss?

Apart from the fact that he has pirouetted on his left foot! Which means he hasn't maintained his spine angle through impact.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
