Combined all the swings I got today in one video. Slow motioned every swing too.

Some are cut off, and the last two are pretty worthless 'cause of the sun. I haven't quite perfected the one man swing video.

Allotta' things to look at there. I'd start with your spinal cord. I just had mine re-aligned this past weekend.

Keep your back straight. Don't hunch over the ball. Create the lever to drop from the top of the left shoulder arcing back, and forward past through impact. Looks like you're swinging for impact in some shots.

Dang man.... The fact that you can even make contact with the ball from that set up position is impressive.

You need to seriously change your setup. Stand closer to the ball. Stand a little bit more taller.... Bend your knees and feel like your weight is stacked evenly over your feet. Bend over at the hips so that your arms hang freely in front of you. And relax that right elbow. Let it bend.



This is a good image of a correct setup posture.

Work on this before anything else

You're cutting yourself off of every shot with that set up, and takeaway.

Yeah, after actually getting my swing on tape. I never realized how my setup looked. Will work on it. Hopefully tomorrow.

ETA: Thanks BR and Eye.

Does it mean that I read The Golf Machine book a few too many times if I understand every thing that he says in that video ??

Second round of swings. Worked on my setup. Still getting used to the takeaway from that position. Had more mishits than usual, but luckily the course was empty and I had time to hit again. I had some pretty shots towards the end of the round.

First thing I'd say is tuck the right elbow more.

I'll come back with something else.

Your address does look better. Next thing I would work on is to keep that head still. You look a little rigid in the takeaway but its not too bad. However on the downswing you drop your head and your shoulders WAY down. You change your spine angle and come in super steep. That's why your hitting those big slices.

Try to keep that head from moving too much up and down.

Also feel like your using your hips a little more to go back and through rather than your upper body.

Good work on the setup though. Relax a little bit too.

It's a journey my friend. Once you stripe one down the middle you're hooked for life lol



Looking at your swing again you really try and use your shoulders/upper body too much to power the shot. Get those hips working! Google some stuff about hip movement in the swing.

Ive been hooked for awhile. Just never gotten better.

And Ill take a look at some stuff. This is the first time Ive ever got to play golf on a consistent basis. So hopefully Ill be able to make some strides. If not, it's still fun as hell.

Snatching the club at takeaway and not hinging your wrists are the first two things that jump out.
