My Swing (mckaymental)

[mckaymental]

I've been Playing Golf for: 4 months

My current handicap index or average score is: 120

My typical ball flight is: Inconsistent, low, topped

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Looking forward to have more consistent ball contact

Hi guys! I've started playing golf this season and I'm really having a blast. However, I feel like it's time to fix my swing. I'm having a hard time making good ball contact. My shots are terribly inconsistent. Below, you'll find a quick video of 4 swings (+ slow motion) I made with my 6 iron. I'm sure there's a milion things I'm doing wrong but if you guys can give me some important pointers it would really be appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your time!

Have a good one!

Welcome to the site. Your hips slide to the right on the backswing and the left leg collapses inward. That makes it hard to get the weight forward properly on the downswing which causes issues with contact and path.

Couple good threads to check out.

How to Make a Centered Hip Turn

If you can get the picture looking more like this, you'll hit it more solid and be able to swing more outward/swing less across the ball. I'd start working on this in the mirror and doing slow rehearsal swings on the range.

Also check your grip.

Amazing tips right there! I'll start working on this immediately. Thanks a lot for your time!

My friend you look like a dancer!

You need to move your hips and shoulders not your legs. Keep practicing and post something in a couple of months to see your progress.

Haha! You got that right. I should add music to this swing video! Thanks for your comment.
