My Swing (Earl802)

[Earl802]

Hi everybody,

I've been struggling with my swing for a couple of years.  It's mainly affecting my driver, so that's what's in the video.  I can see the faults but don't know how to correct them; transferring weight forward before I finish my backswing, swaying which causes me to be ahead of the ball which delofts my driver and creates too much backspin, not posting up on my left side, etc.  Any advice or drills to correct this?  

Thanks,

Earl802

Thanks for posting and welcome to The Sand Trap. I moved this to the Member Swings section and changed the Title. Take a look at the thread below. It will be easier to evaluate your swing if you film it from down the line and directly face on. Odd angles make it difficult. Check out the link in the thread below to see how to best film your swing.

Welcome to TST.

@boogielicious beat me by a few seconds.   Take the time to read how to get the correct angles when filming your swing.

Thanks for the help Boogielicious and DennyJones.  I'll try to get some videos from the right angles next weekend and post.  Feel free to add any tips to this video if you see anything.

Thanks,

A little more information if it helps:

I've been playing for 30 years, but only can play for 7 months out of the year in Northern VT.

I'm currently an 11.5, but was down to an 8 a couple of years ago.

In the video I was hitting the tee shot on 18 at Pebble Beach and protecting against hooking it into the Pacific.

Thanks,
