I've been Playing Golf for: Combined time maybe 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 10

My typical ball flight is: high fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hooking my drive

Say something credible and I will fix it. Thanks for your help

I will continue to post more, with better angles

The 45 degree face on, and the butt view down the line are not easy for analysis.

These guidelines should give you a better idea of how to film your swing

From the thread above, your lower back "S-curve" posture looks like the left (bad example, exaggerated) more than the right (good example). Perhaps see what elements from the Golf Posture thread link above you can take onboard.

Also, at impact, it doesn't appear that your hips or shoulders are open to the target line very much. You can search here for threads on the best impact positions, and find where your hips/shoulders should be.

The angles on these videos are not ideal though, so you won't get the top instructors here really analyzing much. If you get some better vids up, you might gather more useful stuff. Good luck! (I'm mostly a hacker, so take my suggestions with grain of salt. You just seemed itching to get some feedback, so I pointed you in a direction to start with: posture).

Zachary, good first attempt. Get better lighting and angles if you cam. Take your time, enjoy your youth.

Agree with @RandallT , fix that posture. Going to save your back and make some of the pivot stuff easier, especially with getting more open, standing up less on the downswing (where the hooks are coming from).

Posture looks a lot better.

Would like to see the pivot "carry" the arms during the backswing. Your hands work away from you early in the takeaway and that rolls the forearms, leads the club to load shallow on the backswing and then you have to "steepen" it on the downswing.

Note the amount of space between your upper left arm and your chest and the club position compared to the right pic. Don't lose that connection on the takeaway, maintaining it will help the arms work with the pivot.

    • Day 2 (4 Apr 25) - played in the weekly men’s group shootout.  Decent day off the tee and most longer approaches.  Wedges from 70-80 out were off, but green side work was good. Overall a fun day with the crew.  
    • $50??? You're not serious, I'm sure. The only thing a $50 driver will be good for is to whip your horse  as you're rounding the far turn heading into the home stretch. Seriously, go to a big box store. They all have used clubs up the wazoo and you should be able to find clubs at a reasonable price. Also, talk to the guys there. You'll be able to tell just by conversing with them which ones are interested in helping you and will provide good advise. Those companies are usually pretty good about weeding out the bad apples who are only interested in making a quick sale. The commission the big box stores pay is so miniscucle anyway that sales guys are usually brand agnostic.
    • Day 13: 4/4/25 Stack Full Speed Spectrum training session.
    • Day 186 - 2025-04-04 Worked before lessons this morning. Not a long time as the first lesson arrived pretty early.
    • Strata are decent clubs for newbies, usually furnished in a complete boxed set, with putter and bag. They're an excellent way to get going in the game and to see if you want to stick with it. If you don't, you're not out too much money but if you want to progress, you should get fit and buy better clubs with newer technology that will help you out. Most places I know of (ie: Golf Galaxy / PGA Store) charge you for the fitting which is then credited back to you when you buy the clubs, so it's essentially free. (I know GG does that...not sure about PGA.) Once you have clubs that fit you rather than you having to maybe contort yourself to fit the clubs (depending on your height/arm length/swing characteristics) you can progress and get better. Ultimately though, as the saying goes, "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian."
