My swing (nowayjoze)

[nowayjoze]

I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years My current handicap index or average score is: low 100s My typical ball flight is: pull (driver) / hook (irons) The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pull with driver, hook with irons Hello All, Hope I'm doing this right and want to apologize in advance for any grammar / typos as I'm posting from my mobile device. The below link is the only video I have and its from top golf (tough to record yourself on the course lol). I noticed that I'm tilt a lot but in assuming it's from top golfs shorter driver and their short tees. I usually tee it much higher with my driver and don't fel as tilted as much (R11S). Also, although it looks like I pulled that shot, it was actually a slight push to the right - must be the camera angle. I'm open to constructive criticism as I want to see what else I can improve on. My typical miss with driver is pull to pull hook, and irons are an awe full 30 yds hook. I can hit fairways fairly, but rarely hit greens (non par 5). Usually hit 1-2 greens (non par 5) due to my awful hook :( Thanks guys! [URL]http://ubersense.com/SsnStXZI[/URL] [rule] Videos:

Yes I would agree that you're bending over too much from the hips, I would bet you look similar on most of your shots. You're bent over so much that it's hard for you to turn and you compensate by raising your head on the backswing.

So first thing I would do is bend over much less from the hips, allow your head to "hang" down and feel softer with the upper back. More on that here,

Thanks for posting @nowayjoze .  If you have a chance, a face on view will also help.  I know this is difficult in the winter time.

Thanks mvmac! After reviewing that thread, I would say that I'm not understanding what "balls of your feet" are. Seems like pros are more on their middle of their feet (arches) rather than ball of their feet - I will try that next time on the course. What about the swing itself, am I over the top, or anything else I can try to adress?

I would focus on the set-up stuff first and see how that effects the swing. No point in trying to change or work on the swing when the set-up is leading to some swing issues.
