I've been Playing Golf for: 1.5 years, before that 2-5 rounds a year.

My current handicap index or average score is: 10

My typical ball flight is: Fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: My miss is to the right of target. Occasional slice with the driver.


Below we have a 3-wood and 6 iron. I use the 3-wood off the Tee mostly. Sorry if the angle is a little weird. I will try to get a few better shots in a day or two.

Looks like a decent motion. Really would love to see a better camera angle. Can't tell much from this one.

Grip looks pretty weak. But again, tough to tell.

Thanks Eric. I'll try to get some better video today or tomorrow. I've never had a lesson before, That's the main reason I wanted to post my swing. I've come a long way on my own but I feel like I'm in a plateau. My grip is neutral/weak. Almost all of my shots fade a little. If I need to turn it left I just strengthen my grip. My grip is also a ten finger grip at the moment. Pitch/chip shots I use overlap. I've used all 3 grips in the past 1.5 years and I like the feel of a 10 finger.

A few things I've noticed since recording my swing; My left foot comes off the ground a little. My last few times at the range I have made sure to keep that foot planted and it helps a ton with accuracy. My hands are just over the ball at impact instead of being just ahead the ball.

Today at the range I focused on compressing the ball. I used an overlap grip instead of the 10 finger, and I used a strong grip instead of neutral/weak. The range session went great. I was hitting nice draws with the grip. I faded a few by changing my grip to weak.

I'll get some video up soon and hopefully my swing will look a little better :).

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
