A 240 yard driver means your swing speed is 88 mph depending on your age this could be good or bad. If your younger say 25-40 then you have a leak and are probably doing something wrong to lose yardage with all of your clubs.

Your wedges are OK, but everything else is pretty weak.  You don't have very good gaps with your clubs.  Keep at it and it should get better.

What I would work on is swing sequencing.  It is very important to learn from the beginning how to sequence the swing.  If you have all your body parts coming down together to strike the ball it can be very powerful, if you have your pieces all coming down at different times and not in sequence  it will never ever be very powerful.

 

Check out this video for some help in sequencing your swing.  Good luck and post a swing, Im sure we could all help a little more if we saw exactly what was going on!  Let me know when you do!

Your distance is fine for someone who just played two month of golf.   Distance will increase as you get better.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
