This is my friends swing, he's trying to play golf his senior year so he has about 5 months to get better- he asked if i could post his swing on some sites for feedback.

He's been Playing Golf for: probably a year
His current handicap index or average score is: 100
His typical ball flight is: Pull or hook, occasional top
The shot he hates or the "miss" he's trying to reduce/eliminate is: His hooks which are constant, and his pulls.


Videos: 

5 Hybrid Swing- Side View: 

He came down a little on top of the ball causing it to fly pretty low, probably would've gone 150 yards.

Club: Callaway Strata 5 Hybrid

7 Iron Swing- Side View: 

The ball flew well, but he pulled it a bit and it landed left of the green. Went about 130 yards.

Club: Callaway Strata 7 Iron

He pulls the ball a bit (closed club face at address) and also hooks it, it's not uncommon for him to top the ball.

Looks like he has a nice swing. I'd check his grip, looks weak and potentially palmy, and widen the stance a couple inches on each side with the feet turned out a bit.

    • Thanks! Better though? Not worried about overdoing it yet. These were also the best videos of several I took. More to be done for sure but moving in the right direction I think. 
    • Can be out and up a little more. Not quite over-done yet.
    • Down the line and face on from today. Still feeling like I’m sticking the club into a hole in the ceiling above my right shoulder and then big loop inside to start downswing. That’s how it feels. Not how it looks though! Gotta keep working on this for a bit but I see a lot of progress. 😁
    • Day 5 (13 Mar 26) - Friday shootout cancelled- made it a practice round working from mixed tees. Plenty of up and down work around greens.  Best was a hole out birdie on the par 3 #5 hole - nice pitch and roll w/Pw from about 10yds off the green - dead center flagstick drop.  Much of round was focused on getting solid weight shift into lead foot. 
    • Day 208 3-13 Worked on wrist arching and flow. First time hitting reall balls at a range in months. It was nice to see ball flight. Still not sure it beats my backyard practice station.
