HELLO! I have played golf for 10 years but i just now started getting serious. I wanna be mid 70s player next summer, now im low 80s. I think mostly i need to get more consistent. Especially my drives get me in rhe trouble every now and then. Typical ball flight with irons is draw, but driver is different everytime, if i try to hit it straight. Im 22 years old. [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHCfZBR5Ka0[/VIDEO] First iron shot went a bit too right and sliced slightly. Second iron was good, and driver waa a good shot. Thanks in advance! Looking forward to ur answers. I wanna improve!!

Your setup seems a little off. to much knee flex i think. it is a lot better on your driver swing tho.

what i see also is kind off the same problem i have, the whole body seems to get behind the ball

on the back swing. if i only knew how to fix this. haha. I try to work on it at the range by putting an alignment stick in the ground next to my right hip and try not to hit it with my hip as i make the backswing. Takes loads off time but it's improving slightly. I just can't take it to the course for now

Yeah that "whole body behind the ball" type of thing might be the reason why i tend to have such a high spin on my drives. And they tend to get really high. Iron shots ive been much better tho at keeping balls under control. For now, irons are the best area of my game. Worst is hybrids and fairway woods. Actually, i odnt even use fairway woods/hybrids because my irons are very long so after 260 yard drive i hit my iron 3 about 220-230, so i have been able to make good scores by using only a driver and irons. Thanks for feedback! I feel like for now this is the only way i can evolve my swing, since im already 22 and i cant get free junior coaching from my club anymore. So thats why your feedback is very important :) Wish i had played golf in HS but in Finland its more like you choose one sport and stick with it, so i always played bball, and only golfed couple rounds on summers thru my childhood.

      I've been really happy with my game dispite not playing a tonne this year.    My two biggest weaknesses have had turn arounds. Driving and chipping has got much better. Used to slice my driver terribly every time, but managed to not hit 1 bad slice today. Chipping has just started to turn around, only mishit one from a weird lie where I didn't commit to the shot. Of 8 rounds this year, two in the 80s, three below 95, and only one over 100 (with horrible greens).    Just got to work on trying to at least go to the range once or twice a week for some consistency. Hit I think 4 really bad miss hits, and was a little slow starting with 3 or 4 mini slice/hooks with irons on the first few holes. Still much more good than bad shots, but more practice should get that good swing happening more and more frequently.
