Hi, 

Well done for taking the plunge and putting a swing up. First step is to help us to help you by getting the camera angles right (otherwise it's kind of guesswork), so please read this:

http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing

For what it's worth, the swing looks very 'arms driven' to me and I'd look at your rotation through the ball trying to feel like you get really open at impact with your weight forward. But, like I say, better camera angles will help :-).

Keep us posted!

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

Hi b101,

thanks for the reply!

I posted about that in the other forum, when I try using my body more I move more towards the ball and this produces an even worse heel shot and even at times a complete miss!

i only have my iPhone for filming purposes but i’ll Try set it up for better angles atleast!

Don't worry so much about instant results if you know you're focusing on the right things. I've had range sessions filled with shanks and one where I spent the entire hour hitting 7 iron chip shots trying to hook the ball - it's the end goal that matters.

With the iphone, I'd recommend you get a cheap tripod that will clip to your bag. Then stand that behind you and off you go. Getting the angles right and getting used to properly filming your swing is one of the best things you can learn to do. (e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ailun-iPhone-Tripod-Compact-Cellphone-Black/dp/B01N6713N8/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1530951201&sr=1-5&keywords=iphone+tripod)

    • Day 10: did a stack session. 
    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
