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.

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
