My Swing (onthehunt526)

[onthehunt526]

I've been Playing Golf for: 19 years My current handicap index or average score is: 9.8 My typical ball flight is: high fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: right to right shot [rule] Videos: [VIDEO]https://youtu.be/tOfKO1zXeyU[/VIDEO]

This is the only video of my swing I have at the moment... I'll upload a new swing video as soon as I have my wife available to do so... I did block this shot to the right...

I think it will be very helpful once you do that (upload another video)... But I also have a question if you don't mind.. Do you always end up in that end position facing the target? Or was it a one off?

Not always, this video was from last year, I'm a little better at "turning in the barrel" now, also I had sneakers on, I don't know but it looks in that swing that my weight is too far in my heels therefore I lost my balance

Got it back, DTL, new video coming coming soon

[onthehunt526]

New swing video, i need to figure out what I'm doing.

This video has a really bad swing in the middle, but has both down the line and face-on shots in one video... any constructive criticism is appreciated, and if @iacas or @mvmac have any drills to help out, it would be appreciated.

Basically I'm getting my weight over, I'm just trying to figure out why I'm losing my balance.

I'd really spend some time working on this portion. Your shoulders go up a bunch, your head goes up a bunch, and your posture in general can be better. Check out the "shoulder pitch with driveway sticks" video, and note the right foot rolling out in the right frame below:

Thanks Erik, I'll definitely check that video out.

Tried the drill in the video, it works good, I'll do that everyday for a week and film another video to show how I'm progressing... with this issue... I might have to go back to square one.

Erik,

I noticed something, I'm swinging past parallel (haven't been able to get the club that far back since my accident).is there a someway to feel how far back I'm taking the club back? I need to flare my feet more, and bend more from the hips.

I think the better the pivot gets the less "need" you'll have to lift the arms/swing past parallel.

I'd also add this drill and some right foot flare to fix what's going on with the right foot on the backswing.

I just wanted to thank @iacas and @mvmac for their help with my swing, and suggesting the drills, I did the drills for five to ten minutes before I hit balls today... 

I need to upload a driver swing, because though it feels more in balance, I'm still getting "weird" numbers out of the driver, I'm getting more spin than I want which is robbing me of distance.

What are you using to get your numbers and from where?

[onthehunt526]

I was getting like 3000+ rpm spin and 13-14° launch (my ball speed stinks), But that's on Dick's crappy launch monitor, on Flightscope it's around 2700 (That's what Greater Golf has now). 

I tried teeing it off my left little toe and teeing higher, I got a little higher launch, but the spin was the same, I might be still trying to hit down on it... My AoA on FlightScope  (Which is the one I care about) is around -3°.

Yeah that's going to have to change. Keep doing those drills and monitor that right foot on the backswing.

Will do, I'll upload a driver video on Thursday or Friday (Have to work 2 long days, the joys of being a cook)... It seems like the drills definitely make a difference... especially with the 7-iron.

Mike,

Should I do those drills everyday for like a month, and do an updated video?

If it was me I'd film myself doing the drills and post that and maybe some 50% speed swings.
