My Swing (Golfballz)

[Golfballz]

 

I've been Playing Golf for: 4 months 
My current handicap index or average score is: high. Over 110
My typical ball flight is: irons draw. Hybrids and up slice.
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is:  push slice. Fat shots.

 

I need some help with my swing especially driver. I started with a 230-250 carry with a usual block but sometimes straight. Now it’s a weak 190-210 that starts right and also slices 50 more yards. I’ve been hitting my irons well lately, but just can’t figure out the longer clubs. Need some advice for my setup/swing to give me a chance to play long courses (been playing pretty much all par 3 courses). I notice I dip in my backswing and lift in my downswing which probably contributes to my problem. Sorry for the poor video quality in advance. Just want some feedback thanks!

@Golfballz, I'd love to help out a bit, but the only down the line video doesn't even include all of you, and it's from a bad angle.

Take some good slow-motion video using those tips and camera alignments from the article. Hit a 6-iron, or your driver, but make sure the angles are good and that you can see all of you and the club.

I simply can't do much with this:

Yeah sorry. I’ll take some better videos this weekend. Is there a way to edit the original post so I can replace those videos with better ones ?

No, just post the better ones. Over time, the topic will show your improvement/changes.

Camera angles could still be better, and you could move up so you're larger in the frame. The down-the-line is not on the toe line.

You shoot over 110? I'm surprised. I think you have a pretty good action and I'd mostly focus on one thing right now, and then play a lot. Here's that one thing…

The lower body in many players will start before the upper body finishes the backswing, but yours happens REALLY early, and I think you're just new and things will get out of sync. So the one thing I'd focus on mostly is finish the backswing, maybe even feeling like it all kind of "collects" and "pauses" briefly at the top, and then starts down closer together.

Also, this shot goes right (and likely curves right), but it's tough to say whether it's from a shank or whether it's because the face is just wide open. It's definitely in the heel if it's not a shank.

Thanks for the tips. I’ve been working on my swing a lot lately and finally managed to beat bogey on a par 3 course, but haven’t been able to put it all together to score under 110 on a longer course yet. I’ll definitely work on what you mentioned near range session. I’m pretty sure I had a case of the shanks today beacause I was hitting the ball very poorly at the range today (even by my standards). I’ll keep updating this post as I try to progess. Thanks again !!! :)
