I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years

My current handicap index is: 12

My typical ball flight is: too low

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

I'm going through major swing changes after seeing how my swing looked in Swing Profile last summer. This looks much better, but it's still work in progress.

Any tips on what I should focus on to minimize the fade and to get the ball flight up?

It looks to me like your head is moving forward a bit on the downswing.

Also, I think it would help to allow your right leg to straighten a bit more on the backswing.  Flaring your feet a bit at address could make this easier.

Not sure if these items will help your ball flight, but it is what stands out to me.

I am sure someone who knows more will be along soon.

I have been stuck on hcp 12 fo 3 years now. After the changes i made on the swing this winter and with the increased practice lately, scores have been going down. My first and only (until now) sub 80 round was last summer, 76, +6. Last 3 rounds: Friday 78, +6, 30 putts. No pen Monday 77, +5, 25 putts. 1 pen. Same course Wednesday 82, +11, 34 putts. 3 pen. Different course with crappy greens. Am hoping for even lower scores this summer. Will post a new swing profile video after this weekend. Any comments on the previous one still very welcome.

    • Day 139: worked on putting for a while. Did the two cups drill for bead. 
    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo. 
    • Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.
