I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 18.2

My typical ball flight is: Straight or slight draw

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Always short/slight draw with irons, and draw with driver

Hello and thanks for looking at my swing! My friends say I have a "very smooth" swing. I focus more on trying to be smooth and accurate over distance/power (I dont drive very far but it is usually straight or a slight draw). Thanks for any feedback!

That driver looks enormous for your size. Is it just an optical illusion? It looks like you need a shaft like 3 inches shorter. You do have nice tempo but it almost looks like the clubs are too heavy or something for your size, like you are just along for the ride.

Welcome to the site.

- I'd narrow the stance a little and make sure the feet and knees are pointed out. Will help with the next piece.

- Turn the hips on the backswing, don't let them slide back.

Haha it might be...the shaft is 44.5 inches and I'm about 6'1'' but it does feel comfortable for me though. Thanks for the advice! I do feel like my irons are a bit heavy, especially since my swing speed is rather slow. These were a cheap brand I bought to start playing 3-4 years ago so I will be purchasing a better set this offseason.

Nice. It must be an optical illusion with the driver video then. For some reason I thought you were like 5'6 or something. I would never have guessed that you were 6'1. Weird how camera angle and distance can do that.
