My Swing (JeremyMik84)

[jeremymik84]

I've been Playing Golf for: 3 months (about 15 rounds)

My current handicap index or average score is: 98-105
My typical ball flight is: either high or very flat (i top the ball sometimes)
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: topping the ball and hitting irons straight (club face closes alot when i swing irons) with drivers, i tend to slice but i can normally eliminate that. slices only happen when i rush or try to do too much and hit it too hard

---

This is a 6i shot at 150. it went pin height but about 10-15 feet to the right. at this point in my game i dont try to hit the ball hard, i just try to swing correctly and make good contact.

You probably have a capable phone. How about some high speed video from good angles?

I'm a newer golfer too, but I think you are WAYYY too loose with the wrists at the top of the backswing. Wrist hinge is good but a floppy club at the top isn't.

I was using my iphone, but i do have a sony camcorder that can shoot 1080p at 60fps.. ill break it out when the monsoon here in Alabama stops.

Probably right, thats probably where my problem lies with the club head coming down square (or the lack of it coming down square lol)

Yeah I think topping the ball is pretty common with this swing flaw as well.

Even though I'm not a pro or anything I would be pretty confident in saying rectifying this problem is the first thing you should focus on.

Your iPhone probably does higher speed video than your camcorder.
