Please don't do that. Your path is to the left.

Swinging more right (in to out) will reduce the amount of fade and slice that you get.

thanks iacas for taking the effort to draw those path for me. Can I clarify with you that the green colored lines are the swing path and the red colored lines is where the ball is going? what about those blue lines? [quote name="iacas" url="/t/65453/my-swing-eyz4eva/18#post_823213"]

thanks! it's not too much at all. what you pointed out is the fundamental. if my fundamental is wrong, most likely my swing will end up wrongly as well. i guess i'm too stiff. gotta have a much relaxed posture. i'm so overwhelmed by you guys help! i'll remember to try out everything during my next practice and will try to upload more videos. Thanks! [quote name="Golfingdad" url="/t/65453/my-swing-eyz4eva/18#post_823225"] Not to overload you with information, but I notice your posture in the latest video.

what about those blue lines?

Yes, re: red and green.

The blue lines show the "path" (there's parallax error so you'd want to adjust for that) of the clubhead or sweetspot.

Hi guys, went for a practice yesterday and tried to get the left chicken wing sorted out. After looking at my comparison pic I posted earlier and numerous practice, I managed to straighten the chicken wing.

Below are the videos,

2 shots FO:

These 2 shots were taken when I was still experimenting the throwing of both arms in the followthrough. My arms at the top finishing were stiff.

3 shots FO:

The finishing looks a little better and more fluid.

2 more videos,

3 shots FO:

3 shots DTL:

I took Golfingdad's advice and made some changes to my posture at address. I dropped my shoulders and eased some pressure on the lower back.

For the 3rd shot in the last DTL video, I think my swing path is going from outside to inside, that is why I had a bad slice.

And finally picture of my swing at 3 O'clock position. I still need to work out my footwork, arms and body posture. It looked "loose" and I think I need to firm them up and make the movement more fluid. In order to correct my chicken wing, I had used minimal hips turn.

So to conclude, I tried some hip slide, changes my posture and corrected my chicken wing for this practice. I will continue to do these few area for a few more sessions. I might tried inside-out swing path to cure my slice and use more hip turn for my swing.

Please comment.

Thanks for reading! ^^

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
