I love to hear a more descriptive explanation of that draw you were attempting.

[davieboy1872]

haha ok hook then, when my right had is strong, i meet the ball with a slightly closed face getting left to right spin

[davieboy1872]

right to left spin i meant

Does the ball tend to start straight or to the right?

[davieboy1872]

when my hands are neutral the straight to straight.

when i make a slightly stronger right hand, i normally aim slightly right, the ball appears to start straight and then a gentle turn left, although this was a bit more left than needed.

can you see the video clip?? i cant for some reason

[TakeItOnTheChin]

Sorry, can't see the video. Did you use YouTube?

Sounds like you have good hands Davie. BTW where do you play in Scotland?

Good set-up, solid looking swing with good balance, a bit S&T-ish.;

I wouldn't change much.

Looks like you have a powerful swing. Nice! One thing that I noticed, you are lunging at the ball with your upper body which causes your head to move forward quite a bit. So you don't end up in that reverse c impact position that is ideal. Like this photo of Hogan:

Here is thread on this site that's helped me a lot with similar issues:

Good luck!

[davieboy1872]

Just out of curiosity what trouble did you have with embedding? You should just be able to use the insert video tab and past your full link.

What I was doing was copying the address from the address bar rather than just the URL from the YouTube info:~(
