I've been Playing Golf for: 5 years total. Just restarted after 3 years off.

My current handicap index or average score is: 15 (pending)

My typical ball flight is: High and fading slightly.

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Wayward slice 40% when driving.

Hey guys, was just out hitting a few balls into the net i just bought and decided to try a quick video of my swing.

Its not the best quality but will endeavor to get something better ASAP.

Was just hoping for a few quick pointers before uploading another video in another couple of weeks.

**Please note the video is shot from about knee level so looks a tad funny.

Cheers for any feedback and especially constructive criticism

Swing looks good to me, maybe work on tempo a little. Having shoes on would probably help. I'm sure other will have more to say. But it looks good.

Looks like your hands are a little far from your body and the transfer of weight to your front foot needs work. You didn't give your distances but I would give you about 230-240 on your drives...

Would the weight transfer be something that could be affecting my slight slice off the drive? Also, distance wise I'm around the 230-240metre (250-260yards) range. But with a decent swing and strike I've driven 300 yards on a few occasions. That was going balls out with my swing and connected well which only happens about 5% of the time.

No that would be your slightly over the top wing plane that is causing the slice.

      First - glad to see these popping up again. Now to the topic at hand - I would rather be option 1.  If I know how far it's going (I mean a yard or two) I can always play to the wider parts of the fairway and/or the green and still do reasonably well.  Now if I could just really hit the "number" that well.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 25) - Long day of driving to dr appt with son.  Thankfully got in one of my fave putting drills (two ball side by side) - the goal to have both balls come off the putter face equally by having them come off the putter face as close to the same time as possible.  First few rolls - the toe was leading the way as that ball flew off the face.  By the end of the drill both balls were basically equal off the face, rolling to within a couple of inches of each other.  Nice drill of focusing on squaring the face.  BTW - I was using the old Odyssey DF992.

      Day 161 - 2025-03-10 Got a decent, long session in. Focused mostly on the backswing feels, and moved on toward the end of the four hours (not all hitting balls, I installed a motion sensing light switch in there too, and worked with a student over FaceTime for a bit) on the downswing feel.
