Maybe one of the swing gurus can find some small technicalities but all I can see is that your right arm is bent through impact.

Other than that it looks like a great swing that I would like to have but never will.

[ChanceR1]

Thanks for your input MS256! Just seeing what I should work on. Ill focus on keeping my arm straight.

any chance you have a down the line view?

[ChanceR1]

I can post it when I get out of school! It will probably be up in about 3 hours.

Was going to record a Down the Line view but since it's raining I can not do that today. Ill try to put it up as soon as possible.

6 years this is your swing?

Your chicken wing is v.bad still. Your right hand upon impact is being folded up to compensate for your lack of turning. You realized your body/arms do not have enough space to released to club fully ?

Lastly the flex of the driver you're using is wrong , you have a v fast swing. either you slow it down or change shaft! Your shaft is flexing way too early causing hooks v often\!

cheers

I obviously don't play off 15 , how gullible you must be believing the handicap index here on the forum. I can declare i play scratch but who can confirm? Same for everyone else - i can post 70 , 65 , 90 who is able to ensure all rules and regulations is being followed?

Grudges aside are you saying the picture i have uploaded and the facts that i have stated regarding his swing is untrue? If yes then please enlighten me on how he can improve or his swing is near perfect and flawless? If not I'm just being plain honest and saying that within 6 years of training practicing and learning his swing should more or less be sound and smooth. No offense he's a young sporty guy whom I'm sure plays other sports as well , so changing his swing and improving consistently shouldn't be a problem at all for him.

Unless of course he has been practicing the wrong thing for the past 6 years then too bad yeah

The "flexing" you see on the video is not real. It is a result of how the camera records each frame. http://thesandtrap.com/t/34727/shaft-flex-as-seen-on-camera-photos-or-video-rolling-shutter-illusion

While it's true that someone can self-report any handicap they want, it seems unlikely that someone intent on providing swing advice, such as you, would intentionally inflate theirs.

Then again, I haven't been able to follow your "reasoning" on a lot of your posts, so I guess anything is possible....

[ChanceR1]

Well I guess thanks for the advice guys!?! Opening round for district was today and I fired a 69 at home course. I do need to work on my chicken wing though. What drills or tips is there to help keeping my right arm straight through impact?

[ChanceR1]

Oh and I have a 106 mph swing speed. I'm using stiff.

Besides being rude, this isn't very helpful. "you realize your body/arms do not have enough space to release club fully?" .... if he did then he would fix it or say that he is working on it...

I see the your left foot comes up too early as you go into impact, which can lead to thrusting your hips towards the ball, which isn't good.
