Can you send in a face on view as well? Thin shots and fats shots can be caused by the same thing, not getting weight forward enough at impact.

You have some really nice positions in your golf swing. Have you taken many lessons? 

Biggest thing I see is you are letting your hips slide backwards. You should let your right leg straighten more and be sure to never let your hip slide backwards. Once you stop sliding we can start working a few other things. But this should be changed first.

P.S. the purple lines at the bottom are to tell how much the camera moved during the swing. Please help to keep the camera steady during video, it will help with the analysis. Also what version of iPhone are you using? Should have a faster frame rate. The more frames the better the analysis.

Ok I'll work on better camera work, and use your tips. It's a homemade swing. Just trying to get a muscle memory swing so I dont have to think so much standing over the ball. It was off my iPad Air. I'll use my 6s for the next video. Thank you!

Well I think it is pretty good for a homemade swing. There are some things we can do to tweak it but there is some natural speed in there that we want to be sure to preserve. Work on the hips first. They need to turn about 45 degrees and not move backwards. Then we can work on shallowing you out a little.

If you invest in a tripod you can remove the need for the cameraman. :-)

The down-the-line view looks pretty good. I would work on what Michael suggested and post a video face on. If you stay more centered in the backswing, it will correct a steeper shaft in the downswing. Your position here looks pretty good. It was a little hard to follow the club head though due to the light.

Yes work on the hip turn. The hips move to the right, which causes them to stall and then the arms have to lift. Turn the hips but keep them in place. Would also recommend practicing 1/2 or 3/4 swings with tees (or a towel) in both arm pits or with a small ball between your arms.

I am REALLY REALLY hitting the ball flush now. I focus on a nice hip turn, and I've been using the towel drill. I think my swaying back got me in trouble. I've yet to record another swing, but I'll get that on here ASAP. I feel like I can't miss the sweet spot now with every club! I appreciate all the advice! Gonna keep trying to improve! Here's a picture of my ball marks now.

      Stryper Training Aids and US Import Tariff Increases

      By Stryper · Posted

      Hi all. I have sought permission from admin to post this here. First, here's a quick link to my products on TST, which a few of the mods have been road-testing...  Most of you would be aware of the import tariffs imposed on importers to the US circa September last year. Prior to their introduction, I was selling a decent number each week into the 'States. Since the tariffs came in - which added ~AU$60 to the total cost of getting them over there - sales have dropped to virtually nil. I think fear of the tariffs is the biggest part rather than the actual cost increase, despite me declaring everywhere on my site that we pay the tariffs and have successfully got every order into the US without any problems since. What is still unknown to most US consumers is that these tariffs will DOUBLE in February as Australia Post will no longer be allowed to offer "private" rates, they all change to "commercial". I do indeed think that this will make the products uncompetitive to ship there. So what's the backstory?  I'm a small Aussie business, not some corporate juggernaut. I invented these products - not a reseller for someone else. The import tariffs double in February, so add another ~15% to the total cost. If you want StanceMate alone I can do a super deal on a run-out model PREVIEW HERE (note you cannot purchase this yet. I think the shipped price will be about AU$110 inc Shipping (tariffs included). If you want to reduce the cost of the whole Stryper Plus Bundle I can swap the runout StanceMate to reduce the overall price by AU$60. These work EXACTLY as the newer version, just not as premium quality in the way the finish is achievbed in production) IMPORTANT: All import tariffs are PRE-PAID at my end, and clears customs no problem. I've sent a half dozen since October with every one delivered. NB: I'm not here to get into the politics of the decisions on tariffs, so let's not go down that road. It is what it is! So StanceMate to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - about US$70 Bundle to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$240 Bundle (with version 1 StanceMate) to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$200 Cheers Corbs
