I like how simple your overall swing is, I bet you are pretty consistent. Also it looks like you have good balance.

Only thing I don't like is how hunched over you are at setup. Straighten out your spine a bit and keep your chin up a lil.

Never said this was my swing, have been working on getting that spine angle more straight at address and for some reason, it does not make it more consistent. Heres a 4 iron from the same dayLinky , I was tinkering with a new video system, for those interested I use JC Video and ASTAR to video my lessons, both are great, but at $999 each, commercial use is pretty much out of the question. I was looking at V1's website(the other of the big 3 used by instructors) and they had a previous version that appears to be free, worse case, their home use current is $39.95, and for anyone that plays regularly, thats cheaper than the stuff you buy from golfchannel.com.

Looks like he's planning to stand upright in his backswing. I bet consistent contact is a real bitch for this guy. I've certainly seen way worse though. Without knowing anything about his short game I'd guess he's a 10 handicapper or so.

*Edit After seeing the 4-iron shot and the masterful way he twirls the club post shot I'll go with 8 handicap.

I’m no pro I’m not even a good armature but even on his 4Iron swing he seams hunched at the lower back with the result that his hands are too near his body.

Because he is restricted he has to move his spin up and away from the ball in order to swing around his body.

Does he hit fats and thins? Are you a Pro you’re post suggests it?

Re: Rate this swing
 

Looking at it on video, still, I see the relationship between the hands and legs is very close. The work on this over the past few times is to get the head taller at address creating less knee flex, as I see it, the hands directly below the shoulders is pretty good. We just cant seem to get into that position preswing.

Also, I do teach, I run the golf course but I do a fair amount of teaching and have done so for 13 years.

Any suggestions here as to changes in the setup/swing to make this "oddity" look more like a traditional golf swing?
