My Swing (Albie999)

[Albie999]

Have been playing for 2 months.  My own comment on these videos is that yes, I notice my front leg bends quite a bit.  When I have my leg completely planted, I have a tendency to leave the club open and get some major major slices.  Have changed position slightly, and getting straighter and more distance.  Not all my swings have this much movement, but attached are the vids I got from this weekend.  I have done front and side, in normal speed and slow mo

You sway back away from the target in the backswing, I'd work on this first:

You are rolling your weight onto the outside of your right foot.   You need to keep your weight on the inside of the right foot.   I think this will keep your head from moving so much, and allow you to get your weight shifted more forward on the downswing.   Try keeping your right foot more flat on the ground, with the weight on the inside of the foot. 

Then, on the down swing, tuck your right elbow into your side as you slide your hips forward so your weight shifts.   I see your front foot coming off the ground after the club hits the ball.   That tells me you have failed to shift your weight forward. 

Be very patient on the down swing.   Don't worry about the club hitting the ball.   It'll hit the ball.   Just get your weight forward and extend your arms so they are extended even after you hit the ball.   A foot beyond the ball, your arms should be straight.  Extend.  Keep your head still.   Extend your arms. 

2 months in, you're doing great.

Thanks for that ... to be honest, I hadn't noticed, but can keep a check on that.  I've had about 4 x 30 mins lessons .. but with 2 different instructors (the latest one get on better with - he seems to explain better)

Bit of a breakthrough last week, in realising why I was slicing so much ... previous instructor said "I had to keep my left leg and foot grounded all the time" .. that prevented me from getting body twist ... just with the front leg moving now, I can get more rotation .. just need to work on not using the front leg as much

Have been practicing down the range, and getting a few 9 hole par3 courses in.  Here is an updated video, in the garden, no ball, but still full swing as if I was

Any comments etc greatly appreciated as usual
