My Swing (TJ106)

[TJ106]

I've been Playing Golf for: 6 Month s

My current handicap index or average score is:   25-30

My typical ball flight is:   Draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is:  Inconsistency

I am very new to the forum and looking forward to learning a lot from everyone here and growing as a golfer.  Any criticism will be more than welcome.  I do know I need to work on keeping my wrist a bit more hinged.  Apart from that I hope someone can see some more things I can work on.

Also I know the angle sucks, I will work on getting a head on view and side view.

Thanks very much for your time.

Hi! Looking decent, I'm sure you'll find your way to lower scores quickly. I would start with this (in this order):

1. The grip. Not sure what your left hand looks like, but I'd strengthen the right hand a little. Oldie but goodie:

2. The backswing length. You go a bit beyond parallel at the top of your backswing, and that's not necessary (especially with short irons). You'll see a lot of very good players not coming close to parallel with any irons. A shorter backswing can give you a more focused and controlled swing, I've find that helpful myself.

3. Connected to 2: As you shorten the backswing, you might want to keep the left foot planted on the ground for the same reasons as above.

Good luck!

Thanks very much for the response.  I have not done much with my right hand grip but I change my left from time to time. So I will give that a try.

I honestly never knew my backswing went so far until this video was taken a few days ago so I will definitely have to try and limit my backswing a bit, which I can hopefully tie in with a bit more wrist hinge.

Thanks ago for the response
