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

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.

    • I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.
    • Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV. 
    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
