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.

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....

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?

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.

Driver: 10.5* callaway Razr Hawk Tour - 350 yards(usually into the wind, it can be windy here. at least 400 with a little wind behind me)

Hybrids: 2 and 3 callaway Hybrid razr tour (312 and 287 respectively)

Irons: 3i-10i callaway forged standard length(278, 263, 250, 235, 221, 213, 201, 190)

Wedges: callaway jaws cc 52* 12 approach, 56* 16 sand, 60* 13 lob (0-185)

Odyssey Black tour #9 putter(5 ft, i'm always at least within 5 feet on my approach shot)

I wonder who on this forum is a PGA tour pro, disguised as a normal player.. 

2013: play in the US amateur qualifier

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By snapfade ·

      I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?

      By iacas ·

      What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
