Welcome to the forum. I am sure one of the moderators will be moving this to your own "My Swing" thread, instead of having labeled under, "Need Analysis". Usually members create their own "My Swing" thread, just makes things organized.

On a side note, please learn how to embed videos. Its the little film icon. Just helps us so we don't have to keep bouncing between internet tabs.


Usually I don't after grips, but I would take a look at this thread. Looks like you are very palmy with the grip, and probably too weak of a grip.


Few thoughts on the posture, I would flare you feet out about 20-30 degrees. Helps free up your hips, just some freebie stuff with an easy adjustment. Just some information on posture. I think you could be a little more upright, little less knee bed.


With the knee bed, you need to loose some flex in your back knee in the backswing. Get that back hip to go back and up more. Maintaining the knee flex in the back knee is causing you issues, primarily a short backswing, loss of power, and keeping your heady steady. You do a good job with the steady head because of the shorter backswing. If you swung the club to parallel you'd probably have to shift your weight to the back foot more, which you don't want to do. Check out this video bellow for more information.

Thank for the welcome and tips about future posts.  Will remember that for next time!

I agree with everything you said.  I've since switched to an interlocking grip.  The hips though, feel so limited and stiff.  I'll try the feet tip you gave.  Hopefully will help with the rotation.

Hi Daner,

Welcome to TST. I am not qualified to comment on your swing technique but strongly suggest that since you are a rank beginner (4 months) work with a reputable professional before you get too far with habits that can be hard to break. The folks who run this website also have online instruction if that would suit you better. Of course I am simply assuming that you haven't already done so.

Good luck and stick around. Some of the more qualified folks on the site might chime in.

GolfLug,

Thanks for the welcome.  I plan on recording my latest swing and uploading to GolfFix to a pro named Monty.  I heard good reviews from him.  I just like getting several different points of views, cause it's too easy to miss something especially when it comes a golf swing.  I started playing when I was around 15 (now 28), but just this year really put full interest and dedication into it.  Didn't know how much I was doing wrong.  Crazy.

Sure, no problem. I personally don't have any experience with the pro you mention so I cannot comment. I have very good experience with Evolvr, which the site owners run. Check it out. Very reasonable and will work with you very systematically.

Yep agree with this. Rather than have the knees pinched inward, rotate them outward a little. Will help make the overall pivot more dynamic.

    • 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
