Heres a video for you to point and laugh at:

I know i take the club away too far on the outside at the start and that throws off my downswing, this is the main thing I have been working on.

Any more ideas?

Just curious, where do you usually miss with your driver?

Looked good to me. I would have to ask the former question, "where do you miss usually?"

I couldn't see your clubhead on impact, but if it's to the right, that's an easy correction.

Thats a nice swing, definatly you pull it inside a bit, but that can easily be fixed. Im sure some professionals will post here and be able to give you a whole list of things. Nice finish.

also it would be a good idea to get a video of the camera facing you to get a frontal view, its easier to see and we will notice alot more things to help you out.

Here is the front facing one:

Generally I slice the driver, but occationally pull it aswell due to the out-in swing path.
If i can remember correctly, the video from behind was reasonably straight with a slight fade, and the one from the front was a hook.

Im working on keeping my head still aswell.

Thanks :)

Watching the video, I'm guessing the slice or hook would be mostly caused by the clubface at impact regardless to your swing path. I believe you have inconsistency in timing, which means sometimes you're late closing the club face and sometimes you're too early.

Well, the clubface is somewhat related to the swing plane. Like someone else already confirmed, he came inside on that swing. For some reason it had a draw, but usually that will slice.

Easy correction for out-to-in swing: head down and wait to turn your shoulders until your thighs thrust out.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
