Pretty nice swing you got there. What if anything are you looking for? Maybe you can share what you are working on? Something you would like to fix/eliminate?

Not really working on anything specific. Alot of tweaking at the moment as iv not been able to golf much lately

One thing i see in the iron swing is the right arm remains very close to my body leading to laying the club off ever so slightly. Feel if i let my right elbow go further away from my body at the top it would give me more space and a better slotting position.

Clubs exits on plane ( had a tendency to release it high and right)

Both swings are relatively old however, i plan to use this as a diary of my swing so i can track ideas and swing thoughts. 

Any thoughts on the swing?

Again, you have a really good swing so anything I recommend is going to be nitpicking. The one area that you could make some rapid improvement is the movement of your head. You can start by working on the backswing and then move to trying to make changes in the downswing.

You are a tall guy I think, so you need to be careful that you don't dip your head particularly on the backswing. If anything I would like to see you be flat to slightly up. You start coming down from A3 and continue until you hit the ball.

From there you start to really come down. More I would recommend. Down is okay on the downswing, as long as it isn't quite so much.

Here is Robert Rock in the same positions.

@mvmac has a drill where he stands with his head against a wall and makes a backswing and downswing and using the wall to steady his head and prevent it moving down/up too much.

    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
