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.

    • Akshay Bhatia beat him in a playoff last year I think. He went something like -7 on his last 7 holes to get into a playoff and then rinsed a wedge on the 1st extra hole in a way that would have made Tommy (and Rory) blush.
    • Tristan, did you end up getting the new Edel wedges?  I'm very about due for new wedges.  I was trying other configurations a few years ago and somehow my 54 and 58 are both hand-me-downs that I never got around to getting as new and fitted, and my last new-as-in-new wedges were Ping Glides a long time ago.  I was thinking of Edel wedges earlier today, although their website seems to list only two fitters.   Did you end up getting them, and if so, what do you think of them?
    • @colin007, in terms of realistic sci-fi, its the best ever. They actually had an astrophysicist consult on the movie to be as accurate as possible with what we know about the universe.  For like dystopian, Blade Runner is probably king. Action/suspense is probably Alien/Aliens. Though Starship Troopers is fantastic. The Matrix is amazing.  
    • Day 4 (August 14).  Full swing in my indoor practice room;  6-iron, off a mat, into a net.  Focus was on what I believe was my priority piece at last lesson (which, admittedly, was almost three years ago, due to absence).  I hit about a dozen balls this morning before going into the office.  (Also, errata to yesterday:  9 of the 12 coins were picked up on the second or third go around -- you can't pick up one on the first go around for that drill)
    • Watched The Gentlemen, took a little bit to get into it, but very good Guy Ritchie movie.  Collin Farrell and Hugh Grant were great. Give it a birdie.
