My Swing (Psyber)

[Psyber]

Started playing last summer and I've made a lot of progress but unfortunately within a few months of playing developed a bad case of tennis elbow. I have taken the last month off (only a slight improvement) and decided today to go i the backyard and hit a few pitching wedge shots over the pond. Don't want to swing much more than a wedge so I figured I'd post a video and start improving my swing from the short clubs on up while my elbow heals. 

I've been Playing Golf for: 10 Months 
My current handicap index or average score is: Low 100s 
My typical ball flight is: Push or Draw
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Push

Good place to start is this thread: 

 

Posture looks like it could use some improvement. Would obviously defer to the real experts on here, but this is the thing that jumps out to me.

Not sure if these help at all but these are some Trackman numbers from my driver fitting

I'd really study the posture thread and post another video, ideally FO and DL with a 6-iron, paying attention to the camera angles.

Went through the posture thread last night and decided to go play an executive today with my uncle so mostly par 3s. Noticed a big improvement in my ball striking after working through some stuff the first three holes. Hit more GIR than I ever have. Next weekend I will go out again and have him take some better video.

Thanks for posting the video. I'll echo a lot of the posture comments. Video is huge in being able to correct things like posture as we all just tend to get into a position that feels "comfortable" or "athletic." When we can actually see what positions we are getting in we can begin to make positive change. 

I'm working on my posture at set up as well and it is slow going and it is easy to slip back in to that old "comfortable" position. Keep working at it and eventually the new correct posture will become your "comfortable" position. 

You also get a little stuck in your down swing and stand up to compensate. Work on turning back through and getting to your front foot. 

Keep at it and I'm excited to see future videos.

Here is a more recent video I was able to get someone to take for me. Hopefully the angle is better. I've been pushing a lot less and I believe I've improved my posture a bit but my contact is horribly inconsistent with a ton of fat and thin shots. Hitting my driver better than ever but can't seem to feel like my weight i getting forward with irons. This is a 5 iron DTL.
