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.

    • I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄 
    • The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.
    • Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.
    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin. 
    • Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂
