Hello All,

I just recently joined this site, and I know i have not been active on the site with reply's. Frankly because i know nothing about the swing and golf in general. Picked up a golfclub for the first time in late July, and below is my swing. I am eager to learn, and hopefully i will be able to join in on discussions as time and experience goes by.

Im working on a lot of things, specially not stretching right knee and keeping right fott down on downswing. Having issues on the course with thin and fat shots, but when i hit it well it has a draw ball flight.

Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction :)

Can you elaborate on the bold, and the reasons why you're trying to do that?

After that, I'd look at some Key #2 videos at http://purestrike5sk.com/videos.php .

Thank you for your reply,

When I stretch or straighten my right knee in my backswing, I have a tendency to tilt too my left and my backswing gets to long.

On keeping my right knee down through my downswing, this is something that I have seen many "experts" on youtube talk about.

I am not sure if this is correct, but after watching pros and good golfers, they all seem to roll the right foot, instead of being on the toes at hip level like I am.

I feel that keeping my right foot down limits power, but it also gives me a feeling of stability and better feel when i strike the ball.

I am having major issues with hitting push shots lately. I wonder if I am having a release issue.

Anyway, thank you for your tip on key 2

    • I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
