Look at a more unified, one piece takeaway - appears you start to set wrists too early

Need to see DTL for at the top positions - may be getting right wrist out of place - cant tell where your club is at the top

Need more upper body rotation through the swing - freeze the vid at impact - the ckubhead is racing past your arms

Make sure your turn the body to make the club work - your chest is not back at setuomoositions at impact

I have a few. And we aren't the only ones. It's like net said, it's hilarious that people are this triggered. I'm also 100% sure nothing I've said on this board is the source of my stalkers' anger. Which means they're still mad about something that's at least months old. Sad!

I give myself upvotes just to try and counter the downvotes

It's not unique to the Golf board. I try not to let it bother me, but when someone down votes a post because of WHO posted it, rather than the content, that's when I get upset.

Two problems there. 1) you get upset 2) you let people know you get upset

It shouldn't bother anyone because it shouldn't stop you from posting what you want to post. And it should make you laugh knowing that someone took the millisecond to click down because it helps them cope with their inferiority complex as a shite golfer or overcoming whatever it is you did to trigger them in the past. This goes for all nerds and baws.

Someone used to downvote every single post in the baseball game threads. Whether it was a 14 page midweek game or a 140 SEC game that LSU lost. It was awesome.

You're right and I'm working on ignoring it.

Couple problems:

You start with too much weight on ur front side... and it never really moves. You never get loaded into ur right side which causes u to come steep and then u stand up at impact because u will crash if you dont.

Try starting with ur weight a bit more equal and then feel yourself loafing into that right knee

As previous poster mentioned, your weight shift isn't balanced.

Because of that, you actually are falling back and away from the ball at just before impact (:18). That reduces power, accuracy and consistency.

What you want to strive for is keeping your weight balanced throughout the swing, and try to feel yourself pushing through the impact zone with the ball of your right foot.

Also, try to keep your head still. You are swaying back and forth. Imagine your head is hanging from a string. The swing has to rotate around that. You should try to maintain your head position until your right shoulder naturally forces it to rotate toward the target.

Hope this helps.

I would say the swing is good its the address I see a small issue. Relax the shoulders at address and lower the left hand a little. Looks to be very stiff. 7 hdcp speaking so clearly no expert just what the eyeballs see. Swing looks fine, everyone sways a tad but if you can lower your hands you may produce more power.

Wrist set way too early - should keep the V longer in the forearms.

Left wrist is cupped to start - needs to be flat.

Casting at the top - need to keep the angle in your wrists longer to keep lag.

Next to zero hip rotation after you complete your torso turn so I doubt you hit it very far. Costing yourself a lot of distance there.

I'd need a down the line shot but I think I can tell from this angle that you don't stay on plane when you start the downswing. You're "throwing" your right shoulder to start your downswing and getting off plane vs beginning the downswing with your hips.

Thought so too.

Waggle some before the shot

After reading 2 pages,...well it shows you what I know and why getting below 90 is a struggle. Swing looked good to me. I thought your hips turned well, pulling your hands thru the target area. Nice par Croaka....I still hit that Covert driver btw...thanks again

Invest dollars in a lesson(s) from a pro. It will be well worth it. And spend the majority of your practice time on the short game. Good luck.

my short game, putting/chipping and those 80yd in shots is my strong suit....consistency off the time and long irons are my struggle.....lessons is solid advice, but I'm kind of hard headed
