Post a video of your swing

This is interesting
The first two videos are swings of mine at sixteen years of age.
The last one is from the middle of this summer. I've actually made some changes to my wrist action, must grab another swing vid soon ( and with a more flattering t-shirt :O )

Not a great video, but hopefully enough for you to see. Do I have an over the top swing?
It may look like the camera is off centre, but that just because I aim down the left usually.
Not that I'm a pro in anyway at all but it looks like you need to work on your posture. There seems to be very little flex in your knees and your back is more curved over than a straight (ish) line. If you can get a little more bend in your knees & try keeping your back straight & bending forward from your hips you should be in a better position to start your swing. Take a look at the Adam Scott pic in greebos post 2 prior to your vid.
But if I were you I'd go to a pro rather than listen to me.0 -

How or why can you see them Space - I've noticed that a bit before on this - is it a software issue ? I'm on windows 8 on a pc .0 -

Update on me while people are at it. Working on taking the club away more outside and dropping in on the way down. My natural swing is opposite, inside on the way back and outside on the way down0 -

hi,your takeaway looks really good.im the same i always tend to go back inside,even when i fix it it always reverts back after awhile.what drills are you doing to get the club away more outside?spacecoyote wrote: »

you have a very nice swing space
Nice posture and stance and although I think the take away is still too much on the inside and a little flat it does look good and solid. Great position at impact.
One little thing that could be worth working on is to maintain a little more flex in your right knee during the back swing. Have you a tendency to hit the odd big hook at present?
I really don't like the finish of the follow through with the club shaft half way down your back. You should be aiming to finish and hold that with the club shaft behind your ears. It's more aesthetics that anything as it doesn't complement your back swing. Just my 2c so perhaps better dis-guarded.0 -

Cheers yeah, all very valid points to be honest.
I'm getting the irons much steeper, but still get a little flat with the long clubs.
Right Knee flex was something I worked on earlier this year...thanks for pointing it out as I hadn't noticed it has crept back in again.
And I've said it in previous posts, I have an UGLY finish, but thats kind of last on my priority list at the moment, focus is on getting closer to a single plane on the swing back & down.
My god, I thought a golf swing was supposed to be a thing of simplicity 0 -
Just and opinion, I think working from impact through to the finish should not be last on your priority,I think you should be working on your takeaway and follow through at the same time.spacecoyote wrote: »Cheers yeah, all very valid points to be honest.

why..,
A/your backswing is excellent,your takeaway is excellent,minutely inside,but so are alot of the pros,your right elbow could be a tad higher at the top of your backswing and this will get the club more over your right shoulder
B/You have a disconnection of your left arm through impact which in turn is causing a chicken wing in the follow through which to me is the fault of any bad shots you have.If you sorted this the finish of the swing would look after itself
My belief is if someone works on the weakest link of the swing it makes the swing so much better as an overall package http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpwqLaR1OpQ

Lovely swing Space, well overdue seeing it in action in real life.
There are lads more clued in on here than me, but if I was to throw my tuppence worth in.
Backswing to impact is really impressive.
The major fault I see is that you seem to have your weight on the heel and outside heel of your left foot coming into and especially after impact.... I'm not too technical but it looks as if you're falling away (to the left... Bad habits from previous out to in/slice maybe?) from the shot.
Your final position is very "left".
I think you may be losing some power from as a result and I can imagine it's not great for promoting a draw.
When I was working on my swing earlier this year I worked on this and am getting a nice draw with most clubs bar the driver
...it's coming along slowly I hope)
When working on it I think I went from one extreme to another but I've dialled it back in now.
The "feeling" I worked on was trying to load my weight onto my left foot more through impact, the ball and toes. I was also trying to get my left knee moving forward and towards the target on the downswing.
I used to do a drill where I walked out after the shot to promote this (ala Player)... I think you would struggle to walk out after yours at present.
Now... That mightn't make any sense at all but I wonder do others see an with the weight being too far back on your left heel?0 -
For a bit of context, this us me about 2.5 months ago. Might let you know why I'm working on the pre follow through stuff
And here is the face on iron shot from the previous day showing my arms through impact:
You could well be on to something there Parlance. I'm pretty sure I couldn't step through with my current swing alright.
I'm in serious trouble next time I try swing a club:-
take away on the outside
Keep right arm tight and stay on inside on the way down
Make sure my weight is not on my heels
Keep my left arm connected through
Finish & hold at the top behind my head
