Hello all,
New to the forum world so im excited to be part of this community. I have been playing for 4 years now and love the sport. I read everything i can and have a self taught swing. I have broken 80 a half dozen times but am usually between 82-84. I make consistent flush contact with iron shots. I have a good short game but my driver is low and very wild. All my clubs have a lower ballflight and after seeing my video for the first time today i realize some of the reason why. A few of the things i think i noticed: 1. Clubface is shut at the top of the backswing. 2. Weight shift to front foot is too early and too lateral. 3. Club is way over the top and off line coming down. 4. Upright swing in general. I am looking for advice on the problem areas i have and the drills to correct them. Thanks so much!

Travis I do not mean to sound like Debbie Downer but you have a good amount of work ahead of you. It sounds like you love the game so stick with it but you have basically created a lot of compensations that will take a good amount of effort to take out. You are way forward and way over the top. Watch the @mvmac video and do not expect immediate results.

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.
