My Swing (foreplay)

[foreplay]

 

I've been Playing Golf for: 5 years
My current handicap index or average score is:   8
My typical ball flight is: low

I know my swing is flat, but that is the only way I seem to stay "somewhat" consistent. I really would like to get my hands higher but it just doesn't seem to work for me. Maybe someone could give me some pointers on where to start?

When you post the video link, remember to remove formatting or post as plain text and it will imbed.

To make any swing change, you have to do it slowly at first. It may take weeks to make it automatic. But trying to change it doing full speed swings will take a lot longer. Check out the thread below on how to practice. I do a lot of mirror work, sometimes for only 5 minutes at a time.

Also, the flatness may not be your number one issue. If you could post a face on swing, it would help too. That will help us see what might be causing the low flight.

Thanks boogielicious, reading through that link was very informative. Now, what to focus on. I noticed a couple things I'm doing that may be causing the inconsistencies. 1. Very flat shoulder turn. 2. I am dipping down in my backswing. Which one would u recommend I start working on first...or is one the result of the other?

Post a face on view of your swing. That will really help determine what you should work on first. It could be simple like weight forward drills. The flat swing may not be the main culprit. There are PGA pros that have flat swings.

Here is the face view...smh...I don't know how I ever got down to a 6 handicap with that swing:
