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,

Earl802

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
