Post a video of your swing

haha - yeah out with a different fella today. He doesnt know the meme's

The changes would be more significant from side on rather than from behind. Really trying to work on weight transfer at the moment. I am really happy with how the changes are going though. Ball flight is just so sexy right now.

The memes, the golfing attire, hope you like

First one of them I've ever done, couldn't get a less offensive photo, sorry Ricky

This fell off the right side of the green. 170 yard par 3.

Failed to get up and down and made 4.


Looking at it I can see a slight cut across the ball which caused the leak right

Nice .........hole, I don't mean your hole.

Only joking. Nice swing, compact fast.

In that situation, a putter left along walkway, about 5 putts to green .


When did you play ! Portrush?. Looks class, they wouldn't be happy with the "aaaaahhh Christ!" Up there. (LOL)

Did you shout foreright? ? Only joking nice swing, nice strike by the sound.

Thank you for the observation and you are correct. Tempo is something I have struggled with since making the changes. Just dont really know how it should feel. It feels like I'm swinging slow and I'm still swinging fast. It's getting better though.

Put a coin on your left shoe and try and keep it there after you hit the ball....

It works for me anyway

hope you didn't slice that into the bushes on the right?!!!!:p

If you did you'd find about 50 of my golf balls in there!!:D

Thanks for the tip i'll go look tomorrow -

but no. I split the absolute middle of the fairway. Was exactly half way between the 150 disc and the bottom of the hill on that line. It was a perfect drive into a strong wind out of the north hit 8-iron for my second missed the green just right. Up and down for simple par

Great finishing hole and a potential card wrecker. Can't remember the exact yardage

From the back tee is about 410 yards, trees left and right and with the second shot straight up hill, big bunker on the left of the green and the green itself sloping severly from back to front, it can indeed wreck cards

Hey, nice looking swing.

Your setup looks a little uncomfortable to me, like you are you a little far from the ball or something, maybe your legs a bit too straight?

Whats your bad shot?

Looking at them again I would definitely say your legs are too straight, you should have an athletic stance, almost as if you were a goalie facing a peno.

Have you had any recent lessons, what comments have been made, what have they asked you to work on?

Are they fading right, cutting right, starting left and ending right or blocked straight right?

Never had a lesson, that's on the agenda for early Feb. When they go right they fade.

Must try bending the knees a bit more.

Compare your driver swing to this from Charl with same club.

Been a reader for a while but want to try become more of a contributor. I said id start by posting a video of my current swing. Would be interested to hear other posters feedback/critique.

Background: Started playing when i was 13/14 & got down to a handicap of 20 when i was 15 i think. Then didnt play more than once or twice a year for 10+ years. Getting more & more into it again the last couple of years though since i moved to the US. Dont have an official handicap currently but am playing to around a 14 handicap. Best score is 80 on a par 70 course.

The fundamentals of your swing look good to my (very unexpert) eye. However your backswing looks very slow compared to your downswing (or your downswing looks very quick ....). Maybe a more even tempo between the two would result in a more consistent swing? What's your bad shot - I'm guessing it could be anything?

Actually Id have said its a very nice tempo...

Yeah, maybe you're right - just looks to me like a slight loss of balance at the finish. Always hard to tell from one 10 second clip

Gotta agree with greebo, tempo looks pretty Damn good to me

Thanks for all the replies. Very interesting to get others perspective.

Interesting comments on the tempo. I actually made a conscious effort to slow down my backswing a bit last year. Found i was able to keep things bit more consistent & under control by doing that. Balance at the finish is certainly an issue. I got a lesson recently & the pro mentioned it was partially due to having a wide swing or something like that. Somethinng i have to try work on anyways

more of the set up flex in the right knee

- i would loose the flex word here, but i think this is a key point.
Just too much lower body movement in the backswing.

Try the old trick of resting a wedge against your belly while swinging, and dont dislodge it till the ball is in the hole.

Will try this out. Is this likely to be contributing to lack of balance at the end of the swing also?

One thing i noticed is at the top of the swing there seems to be a bit of a shift in club/arm position just before starting the downswing. Is this something to be concerned about or not?

little work needed on the follow-through ?
