I have knock-off callway Big Bertha 06 irons. They are called Superhawk BB06. They were $120 for the set (3-LW), the only club I didn't get was the GW. They are a great set of irons, no regrets in not paying $800+ for the real deal. Now, I do have authentic Callaway driver/woods, and authentic odyssey putter.

When I took lessons, my coach told us to learn to do it slow. If you can't do it right slowly, you can't do it right fast.

I was always told to start your take-away by using your hips/arms. Looks like you're using your wrists. Not that I'm the best golfer or have the best swing, or that I'm doing it "right", but compare your take-away and my take-away. yours: http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t=MikeGolf.flv mine: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...07387984401776

I wouldn't say I'm stealing from someone else. The range I go to does not have a golf course, so the normal balls are from people hitting balls they don't want anymore. If they don't want them, they are giving them away.

I won't steal the range balls, but I will pick out and take the balls that are from other people, if they are in decent condition. I've picked out pro v1's before...I know the range didn't pay for those, so I'm not stealing from the range.

If the weather clears up enough this week I'll get to the range and get some video of me hitting the ball. It's supposed to rain all week, so we'll see what happens.

Is my club supposed to flex so much during my intital downswing?

Finn, In "the big file" towards the middle/end I did a couple swings down the line. If you need them in slow motion, let me know.

do you mean put the camera facing my back, or my hitting line? and what do you mean by, "casting the club" ?

Here's a video of my swing. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...85072790698981

You're 7 iron shot should be further back in your stance...in my opinion. In your shot, is where it would be for a 4/5 iron for me.

I've been a rec golfer for at least 10 years now, and just started picking it up again last summer. After the winter break, I've found that I'm slicing the ball a lot more, probably due to my new driver exagerating the issue more. However, I know the problem with my swing, it's just I don't know how to cure it or find drills to stop it. My problem is, when I start my downswing, I bend my torso inwards, causing a huge open clubface. I think I am shifting my weight to my left foot, but my body leans to the back. My right elbow just about ends up in my ribsIt's hard to describe, and hopefully that makes sense... If you guys need a video of my swing to help visualize, let me know, I can probably take care of that. I still manage to hit the sweet spot 95% of the time, so I hit the ball long, and slice it wide. Usually I manage a 175 yard hit, but add a 50-100 yards slice to the ball, putting me in the other fairway, woods, swap, etc... I can only imagine that if I straigten out my shot that I would be hitting 225+ on my drives. Thanks for any/all the help you guys could give. *******Added videos Here's a video of my swing. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...85072790698981
