My Swing (bankquant)

[alecwickey5]

I am going to put out there that it is extremely tough to tell anything with those swings in full speed. 

 

I did go back and look at your driver swing which has way better tempo than the hybrids (hybrids are so quick). I also noticed that the right elbow is pointing back at the camera with the driver (GOOD) and almost tucked against your right side where as with the hybrid it is getting flared out and behind you (NOT SO GOOD).

I also looked at the left arm at the top of your backswing. The driver swing- the left arm is just under the right shoulder and the hybrid swing the left arm is getting above your right shoulder. I would just think having multiple different swings with clubs is making it tough to really be consistent and maybe it only changes with your hybrids (I don't know).

I will also point this out again. You're moving your hips toward the ball at impact (Goat Humping). But again I went and looked at both swings and you don't do it as much with the driver. Try to really start your downswing with your hips bumping forward and then turning to the left instead of bumping toward the ball. 

 

 Work on this drill.

Two photos.  First is going back.  Hands too far to your right side of torso left arm across chest.  

Coming down second photo left arm pinned right elbow trapped behind.  No room to swing.  Hands way behind turn.

Out of synch.

 

I know what I would do if it was me but it's not a quick or minor fix.  My way might not be best so I will leave the how to fix it for others...

Been working on a more center hip turn.  It feels different for me but not sure if I really see it in the result.

I have also been working on tempo and have seen some great improvements when I maintain a steady tempo throughout the swing.

In the face on driver view it looks like my hips return to the original place relative to forward/back, however on the down the line view it looks like they still hump forward (lateral to the target line) in the downswing.  Should I be trying to eliminate this 100% keep my hips seated back in the downswing?

Been working on my flexibility a lot lately. I've been taking yoga classes about twice a week and have noticed a huge improvement in my overall flexibility.  

Today i stretched for awhile before practicing, then i did about 10 mins of mirror work trying to imitate a Dustin Johnson or Jason Day swing...maintaining my spine angle throughout the follow through. Similar to the below.  

However, when I went to hit balls afterwards I could not hit a single one.  I shanked maybe 50 balls in a row off to the right. One after another...it was terrible. It took me another 50 balls or so to back to the swing I had before.  I dont really know what the issue was. I didnt have my camera setup.  Not sure I should try to pursue this change or leave it alone.  I didnt feel like the flexibility was an issue for me but so some reason i just couldnt make solid contact.
