Nice,
Nice drop on inside.
Great Clubhead speed.
A bit off balance at finish.
I'm off 11 (ignore me).0 -
A couple of better quality vids!
3 wood and 9 iron.

Finally got the camera out on Saturday!
First video is a 4 iron, caught it a little fat.
Next 2 are Slow-Mo's of the Driver:
I realise my hands are very high at address, tried dropping them down on Sunday and drove the ball better!
Also my Left hand is probably too strong so I end up holding off the finish and not turning my hands over. I don't really mind that though.
I know getting a lesson is a much better than this, but I'm just curious to see what people think, so all opinions and advice are welcome!
Handicap is 12 btw.0 -

You've a tremendously straight back, probably the straightest I've ever seen play golf but your swing and particularly your follow through looks very aggressive on your lower back. Perhaps something to note and ask your pro about when getting a lesson as it may not be an issue now as a young lad but it years to come may become a problem.
Also you appear very crouched over with deliberately straight arms/wrists, I'd be inclined to relax that a bit and develop more wrist action. Other than that it looks like you've good weight transfer on your back swing but hold off on the follow through resulting is a slight reverse pivot (may be the result of some of the fat shots)
Above is just my opinion and take it with a grain of salt as I'm certainly no authority on a golf swing with my own more reminiscent of a woodsman chopping wood.0 -

not looking for advice or swing thoughts cause I'm crushing it right now and I probably wont pay any heed
Was out with my coach during the week and we took this with his super slow mo camera
I dont actually start swinging till 20 seconds in so you can skip forward to that
I think the slowmo is really cool

Jaysus , could not play behind you - freeze over ball or what - joking. :P
Divot goes further than my fat wedges at mo.0 -

Is that a Luke Donald finish you're practising or just the end of the clip?:pac:
Trying to get it more like Luke Donald. Period. lol.
Last thing I gotta work on - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtpwErW_giI
Get it looking like that and I'll be complete

I made a video in the range last night. It's very strange looking at your own swing. It looks horrible but it works for me

ForeRight - what you play off.
First of all, we can not talk about your swing , till you stop dressing like the little knackers around my area terrorising the kip. You need a golf makeover by that lad Brendan on Off the rails. Only joking.
you give the ball a fair smack - some action on lower body.

I'm off 5.
Sorry about that Gok Wan
On a serious note I think that swing looks horrendous but I generally have no issues keeping the ball in play and it either goes straight or a slight fade that I can keep hold off pretty well.
I'm not very knowledgeable on the science of a swing such as angles or where the club head should be etc. I just swing the club so any feedback appreciated.0 -

Anyway, I'd be saying what would you be looking for advice for. Keep it up.
I want a Nice looking swing. Don't care if my handicap goes up
I only play for fun anyway0 -
If you really want to improve - go to a pro. You'll get the best advice there.
But your setup is good, club points towards your belt buckle at address, good shoulder turn and it looks like you get really level at the top of your back swing. Downswing, shaft looks in good position to me and you seem to cream it.
I dunno man, unless you're looking at getting to scratch, i wouldnt change a thing cause no matter what it looks like, you're getting everything in a great position 0 -

Ah I took it serious enough last year but honestly didnt enjoy it as much. I don't have a club now or a valid gui(I will soon hopefully) so I'm just playing around different places for fun.
Very enjoyable playing with a couple of mates or the old man.
So Ricky , same as me, he has no handicap 0 -

Hope you don't mind me saying and maybe it's just the camera angle, but you look like you've too much weight on your heels at address and you have a very early wrist cock which seems to lead to getting the club too much on the inside, other than that it's a great looking swing;).Rickylovesuall wrote: »not looking for advice or swing thoughts cause I'm crushing it right now and I probably wont pay any heed

great eye is right and why I linked the luke donald video. I'm too handsy right at the start and taking it inside a touch. My next thing for working on is try to get my shoulders turning right from the start and maintain my width. Like i said, get it swinging like Luke Donald and the change will be complete
as regards the heels, I was standing in someone elses divots for that shot so heels were a bit lower, lol 0 -

Had a lesson on Sunday, pro said I was lazy with my hips so he has me using the step through drill now to try getting my bottom half moving.
Played on Monday with it and the strikes I got right I really got right. The bad ones were appalling!!
Finished up par par birdie mind you

Very solid and good looking swing and wouldn't consider there to be too much head movement. Agreed on the lack/delay of hip movement on the follow through (it's something I'm also trying to work on along with a couple of other things) and possibly slightly more flex required in the knees as you appear to be standing a little straight.0 -

Do you pull the ball left alot with the occasional hook? You look to have the club face closed on the back swing as well as swinging around yourself a good deal. In saying that you have very good timing with the hips so could be offsetting and neutralising the closed club face on that front.
One other pointer is that you appear to have little weight transfer through the ball and stand very straight to the shot on set up. With the driver especially I'd be inclined to stand more behind the ball and get your shoulders turning behind it.0 -

Don't know that course Ricky, but the trees fairly guard that fairway in the second by the looks of it
A lot of the holes are tree lined - definitely a course that rewards accuracy over distance , hence why I was hitting 5 wood on both of those shots. There's a good few other holes around the course where I would take 5 wood out over driver, even on 2 of the par 5's :cool:realgolfgeek wrote: »Nice swing.
Maybe one point, your head on the takeaway dips quite significantly.
Put your mouse pointer on the top of your hat at address, and you'll notice the difference.
I've asked my coach about that before, he's happy with it. 0 -

He's happy with a large dip on the takeaway ?!
Out of curiousity, what's the reasoning behind that, seems very strange.0 -

So..... Have you lost a bit of weight? Even with the horizontal stripes, you look like you've shed a few LBS's 0 -

well, I shouldnt say happy, but not worried about it is what I mean.
I went through a massive swing change this year and I'm still not complete, so maybe that's in his plans for later and why he is telling me not to worry about it.
Maybe he means, "we won't worry about it for now." 0 -

haha - well i didnt have much weight to behind with
It's either the fact I am just wearing less clothing ( possible )
or
The massive amount of stress brought on by doing this Masters has sucked the life out of me and in the process sucked every ounce of fat off me aswell ( far more likely! )0 -

played today and made a very conscious effort to make sure i wasnt dipping my head on take away. I launched it!
if we ever meet up, I must throw you a few euros for the tip 0 -
