My Swing - Help

[Dragasevich]

Sorry to start ANOTHER one of these threads but i figure you guys know what your talking about and could help me out with my swing.

This is a shot using a 5 iron, it went about 175metres (190 Yards) and dead straight, which is usually how i hit it.

This may seem not too bad however i know my swing is not very good, and am looking to improve.
I have been told i am very stiff throughout my swing, and i use ALOT of forearm, i basically snap down onto the ball.

Sorry for the angle taken its all i have on my computer, ill get a side on when im on the course next.

So if you could please have a look and give me some tips.

Thankyou

I'd love to help, but YouTube sucks. You can't go frame by frame or even easily slow down motion. If you have the video in some QuickTime or even Windows media format, please post a link to the file itself if you can host it somewhere.

It seems you're a little more bent than most people. I'd suggest standing more upright, let your arms hang naturally, and perhaps don't fold your arms quite so quickly on the backswing.

That is a good start for a swing, one thing i notice is that on your backswing you start inside and then adjust the swing at the top so you swing straight on on the forward swing, Its good that you adjust at the top but to ensure and even better swing every time. Try drawing the club straight back on the backswing instead of going inside. Imagine a straight line, straight back through the backswing, try that.
