I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 20

My typical ball flight is: Low-Mid

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Off the tee my 12 degree drive sets off really low (to be honest everything from 7i up is) where as my Wedges-8i seem to have a nice lofty ball flight. I can't quite work out what I'm not doing to get the ball up for the extra carry and distance as I feel I release the club really well.

Many thanks in advance for your help

Move the ball up further in your stance. If you look at the frame at contact you can see you aren't hitting up on the ball, hence the low ball flight.

The major flaw that pops out to me is the movement of your head. Try and keep it still and not move it off the ball so much in the backswing. Your swing looks really good for a 20 handicapper, especially your follow through

Hi ttaggart,

Thanks for reviewing my swing and taking the time to give me some advise. I will definitely give your suggesting a try when I'm out practicing tomorrow.

When I watch the video back I always look at that release and follow through I have and thought to myself "That looks pretty good, and similar to those you see of the really good players" I've had quite a few lessons in the past 6 months and spent 100s of hours on the practice area at my local golf course ingraining and working on my swing.

Many thanks

Anto

We're watching the Masters right now, many of us, but you've got some backswing work to do.

Here's a good video:

    • Akshay Bhatia beat him in a playoff last year I think. He went something like -7 on his last 7 holes to get into a playoff and then rinsed a wedge on the 1st extra hole in a way that would have made Tommy (and Rory) blush.
    • Tristan, did you end up getting the new Edel wedges?  I'm very about due for new wedges.  I was trying other configurations a few years ago and somehow my 54 and 58 are both hand-me-downs that I never got around to getting as new and fitted, and my last new-as-in-new wedges were Ping Glides a long time ago.  I was thinking of Edel wedges earlier today, although their website seems to list only two fitters.   Did you end up getting them, and if so, what do you think of them?
    • @colin007, in terms of realistic sci-fi, its the best ever. They actually had an astrophysicist consult on the movie to be as accurate as possible with what we know about the universe.  For like dystopian, Blade Runner is probably king. Action/suspense is probably Alien/Aliens. Though Starship Troopers is fantastic. The Matrix is amazing.  
    • Day 4 (August 14).  Full swing in my indoor practice room;  6-iron, off a mat, into a net.  Focus was on what I believe was my priority piece at last lesson (which, admittedly, was almost three years ago, due to absence).  I hit about a dozen balls this morning before going into the office.  (Also, errata to yesterday:  9 of the 12 coins were picked up on the second or third go around -- you can't pick up one on the first go around for that drill)
    • Watched The Gentlemen, took a little bit to get into it, but very good Guy Ritchie movie.  Collin Farrell and Hugh Grant were great. Give it a birdie.
