My Swing (DaleB)

[DaleB]

Hey everyone, been a member here for a while but haven't posted a whole lot.  Would like to start contributing to the forums more.  Anyway, been playing for a couple of years and i'm always looking to drop a few strokes.  My biggest round killers are poor tee shots (hook) which shows up a maybe once or twice a round.  Looking forward to your input.

I've been Playing Golf for: 2.5 Years
My current handicap index or average score is: 8.2
My typical ball flight is: High Draw
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Hook

Thanks,

Dale

You'll need to upload the video to youtube or vimeo and then link to the thread.

Embedded the video, the quality got a bit worse but should be good enough to give some feedback.

Others may be able to give you some insight about your swing, but just for future reference on videos try to get the view on your toe line instead of in line with the ball. http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing

From what I can see the swing looks pretty good, but I'm not good enough to really spot much in the way of flaws. Only things I can pick out are mostly just set up, the handle of your club is too low, it should be pointed more at your belt bucket, and your stance looks a little bent over. I could be wrong though, so you should wait for other more knowledgeable people to chime in before putting much/any stock in what I said about the swing.

Thanks for the input!  I don't film myself much so I was surprised at how bent over I was when I saw it too.  I'll try to get a video from my toe line next time i'm on the range or course.

Adding some new videos of a swing with a 7 iron.  The third video is down the line with a nerf practice ball. Added this because sometimes I feel like my swing is different with a ball sitting in front of me.

The swing is definitely different with a ball, so a majority of the time swings without a ball aren't typically helpful unless you are filming yourself doing a drill.
