There is a slight sway most likely because you need to flare your feet out at set up and not enough hip turn in the backswing because if that.. Also looks like you release the club really early in the downswing and there is major casting going on.. If you are a 9 hcp I suggest you only get instruction from the guys at evolvr as that will help you get to next level if you are serious about improving.. I think they will help you get more distance too in my opinion..

I see the sway it's obvious now that you pointed it out, the casting , yes it might be some of that left, the release yeah i'll work on it but it might prove difficult my right vrist is almost stiff due to an old injury.

You are standing a bit to much over your toes, and your head is slightly to high. I bet you look down your nose at the ball, rather than have it centered in your eyes. Look at Rory on the left, his head is down, standing closer, weight balance between the heels and the balls of his feet. So stand a bit closer, head looking down at the ball more, arms hanging more under your neck and shoulders than over your chin and nose, and better weight distribution.

I would take your current feet width, and just rotate your heels inward a bit. This will flare your feet, and help with hip rotation and keeping your weight forward at impact. Just a standard tip, helps fixes some stuff for free.

Yea you got a bit of a sway there. It looks like its because you are over extending your right side by raising your hands way to high. Which means you are either over swinging or you are not opening your hips early enough in the back swing. I would try to get more flex in the left leg in the back swing, and keep the left knee from going towards the ball that much. Get your right hip to go up and back sooner. Your right leg should straighten out a bit (not lock).

The final thing I see is you are flipping at the ball. Your left hand should be ahead of the ball at impact. Yours is inline, which isn't ideal for an iron shot.

Sounds like excellent advice, I'll work on that next time at the indoor range. It's about 10f outside so outdoors isn't really an option.

What do you guys think?

Feet are too square, knees are rotated inward. Flare the feet out and turn the knees out as well. Will help with the proper knee linkage to keep the hips centered.

With the swing it will feel like the left knee flexes slightly inward and "towards the camera" (if a camera was filming you from face on). Note how the right hip moves away from that green line.

cool.

I'll work that into my setup.

Thank you very much for the good advice!

No problem, be interested to see/hear how it goes when you hit a ball.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
