Re: My swing
 

What do yo shoot? Those looked pretty good, maybe a little stiff near the end of your follow through, what does your ball flight normally do? Do you have face on vid?

Re: My swing
 

Solid.

Re: My swing
 

I thought it looked a little quick, but overall v good.

I 2nd that, very nice swing. Looks like you have hit quite a few balls in your lifetime...

Re: My swing
 

Looks like you reach for it just a little bit. This causes a little flatness in your swing. Clubface a little closed at the top. I bet your misses are quick hooks/toe hooks. Minor things. Very solid overall. With any kind of shortgame you definitely shoot in the 70s.

Re: My swing
 

Very solid overall. Based on how good it looks I would say you should look at some stretching exorcises so that you can get a better rotation of your shoulders. Your rotation is better than probably 80% of golfers, but it's something you could improve on without really messing with your swing.

Look at Tiger here. Tiger Swing

He gets his back pointed to the target, hell maybe even past it. You'll probably never get to that point but compare with your driver. Stretching will help you get more rotation and it's something many golfers don't even think about. I really don't think you should mess with your swing unless there is something wrong with how you hit the ball.

by the way, do you happen to know Darren Cole?
He was my teammate in college. Great player, great guy.
Last I heard, he was a club pro somewhere around Melbourne.

I played on tour when Darren was playing, he was such a solid performer,and a nice guy. I guess he has a club job now as I know he isn't playing anymore. Like me he was unable to make the leap to one of the major tours, and trying to grind out a living from playing only in Australia isn't much of a life.

Just a note about my flexibility and rotation, I'm extremely flexible for a 34 yr old, I make no effort to rotate off the line when I swing. I work on keeping my movement as efficient as possible, while the club has complete freedom.

Re: My swing
 

At address, especially with the driver your shoulders look a little open to me (could be camera angle). Did you hit a slight fade with that shot? Other than that it looks fine

Re: My swing
 

My shoulders look square to me, I think I blocked this one a hair. You can see my follow through is a bit blocky. That's my main problem, which I'm currently working on.

Driver face on shot.

Re: My swing
 

Looks pretty solid.

Maybe 2 things though:

-it's a tough angle to see but your feet may be too close together when using your driver. edit: nm- stance looks fine to me.

-your right arm may be coming to far away from your body in your back swing. maybe keep it tighter. could reduce a little bit of variance in your swing.

Re: My swing
 

i think you could be just a tad more upright and closer to the ball. it would help you finish slight right of the target where now it looks like your finishing slight left. if i had to guess i would say your launch angle is a degree or 2 high for the driver your using based on the fact that you look to be "reaching" just a little.

Re: My swing
 

Charles Howell III reaches just the same and he seems to do alright.

You can tinker around with standing more upright, but that could cause more problems.

Re: My swing
 

It's a work in progress, I really appreciate ALL the comments. I like getting fresh eyes to look at it. I can always weed out things I don't feel apply to me. I'll post some better quality ones soon, as my editing skills are part of the reason I posted these. I need to practice that.
