Thanks for the replies, that's why it's cool to have other people look at your swing, you guys noticed stuff I didn't :). I am definitely casting the club a bit; I haven't taken a lesson in three years or more so my swing's probably full of bad habits by now, but that one should be relatively easy to fix. The left arm lower is going to be harder to fix, but I'll work on that -- I did notice that my left arm was really high on the swing plane and that probably messes stuff up. Then again, people like Fred Couples have a similar high swing plane and they manage, so who knows. I'll work on it and post sometime in the future probably.

Anyone out there? o.o

Sorry, doesn't look like I can edit posts here or I would, that video above was the same one I posted before =/. Here's the face-on:

Think of air as you would water. Gravity and friction from the air (I think) are the only two forces acting against your golf ball; if the air is moving with your ball instead of against it, the air the ball moves through causes less friction. Water works the same way, if you threw a golf ball into a slide with water flowing 1) toward the ball, 2) neutral, 3) against the ball, you'd fairly obviously get differences in distance. From what I remember in my physics class, most of fluid dynamics (air and water) just has to do with friction and pressure. Friction would be the direction of the wind (or how the molecules are moving relative to the object), pressure would be the density of the air (how close the molecules are to each other).

It's different--same with drivers, they don't all sound the same when struck properly. I still remember that Nike Sumo square thing that was popular for a year or two, that sounded like an aluminum baseball bat even when it was hit perfectly.

Here's a face on from a bit longer ago, my swing probably hasn't changed much since this though.

Hey everybody, I'm new here and am looking for help (and to give help when I can). These are a couple swing videos made about a month ago. My most frequent problems are a low hook with lower clubs (7 iron through driver get progressively worse and less predictable) and topping the ball. I've tried some stuff to fix it on my own but I'm not sure what I should actually be doing or if there are drills to help out. I'm something between a 10-15 (maybe as high as 20 on a really inconsistent day) handicap right now because of inconsistency and unpredictability of my tee shots and longer irons, but I feel like I should be doing better =/. (Driver) (7 Iron) (I'm not sure how the embed feature works on this forum, so if anyone could help with that, it'd be cool).
